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.”
How to stop procrastinating
It happens to the best of us. There's a task or project looming that you just. don't. want. to. do. Yup, been there. Avoided that. But one way or another, the task has to get done. So what do you do? How are you supposed to stop procrastinating? Well, I've gotcha...
I’ll take it…
Y'all. Monday morning I woke up to a text from my mom. "And it all comes tumbling down." I'm being tested. The tree is just the most obvious. But in the last several months, I've made it no secret things have been hard. But the tree falling twice, resulting in me having to travel...
But We’ve Never…
Isn't it funny how now-a-days it's incredibly common to meet people online? What was once so taboo--usually followed with a "you're going to be murdered and chopped into a million pieces" whenever you told someone you met a person online, is now the norm. I remember when I first started to...

Fall Flower!

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.
