Hi, I´m Joey
It’s my hope that this website, which I founded in 2009, will become a regular source of inspiration, encouragement and comfort for you. We’re old friends here, and I’ve got stories to tell (and things to share). So grab a cuppa (or a glass) and stay a while.
While blogging is how I started my out-loud writing career, my debut novel, Yeah, maybe was released in 2014 and became an amazon bestseller. See more novels from me under “books.”

Why I’m not #basic. And neither are you.
I might upset some people with this, but I really don't like this new craze of labeling things as "basic" or "basic white girl." I mean, I get it. And I realize that people are probably using this phrase sarcastically when they catch themselves being basic. But y'all? You aren't...

The Ever Evolving Christmas
Christmas 2010 When I was a kid, I over romanticized Christmas. I'll admit it. I watched every Christmas movie with hope in my heart to have that kind of love someday. To snuggle up by a fire after the grand finale. I think that might be why I took the 2008 holiday season...

Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.
My only hope is that while you’re here, you feel a sense of belonging, comfort and empowerment. Because life is too short to live it worried you’re not good enough.

YOU SHOULD READ MY BOOKS
For the deep feeler, the over-thinker & the one who’s trying to figure out where they fit.
I write for the ones who feel like they’re too much and not enough all at the same time. For the ones navigating big questions about identity, self-worth, relationships, and those in-between life moments no one really prepares you for.
My stories offer a mix of comfort and catharsis—like a late-night journal entry or a favorite nostalgic playlist. If you love Taylor Swift lyrics, soft heartbreak, and hopeful endings, you just might find a piece of yourself in these pages.
