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.”
Finding confidence in your creative business
Whether you're just starting out or you've been in the creative entrepreneur world for a while, confidence seems to be a word that crops up in daily conversation. Over the weekend, I sat across from a friend who is a brilliant artist chatting about all things...
Mad Men Inspired Selfie!
Let me make one thing clear. For the last 20 years, I've stuck with the same old same old. I am a rectangular framed girl through and through. The problem I have with glasses is that my eyes and head are tiny. Think cartoon character small. I have such a hard time finding...
Soft & Warm with Essie Parka Perfect!

A Winter Challenge
I had such a groove going. Run every other day. Sometimes it was 2 miles. Sometimes it was 3. But every other day, without fail, I was out running. And then came the excuses. It's dark out. I'm tired. My joints hurt. I washed my hair today... It...
HI, I'M JOEY
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.
