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 I Work: A New Series for Creative Entrepreneurs!
I've always been nosy curious about people. I loved AIM away messages that listed out what people were getting up to for the day. When people started daily vlogging on Youtube, I couldn't get enough. And I'll always be a sucker for blog posts that share...
Stuff & Things 11/13
>> Since I'm forever on the hunt for the perfect lip balm, I switched things up the last few weeks. We've entered the time of year when my lips just hurt constantly. Taking my own advice from this video, I had an idea. I started applying regular vaseline at night just...
It’s going down…
Hi friends! Gather round. Grab a mug of hot chocolate. It's story time with Joey. Sunday morning, I grabbed the dog and drove the hour to Raleigh. My parents have had a lot going on lately, so I thought I'd do something nice and put up their Christmas tree. I realize some of you may be...
Christmas On A Budget!
I can't believe it, but Christmas is JUST around the corner! Since my husband has spoiled me over the last year with an iPad and a new computer, I don't have any big ticket items on my wish list this year. That can sometimes prove harder to shop for. So if you are in need of...

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.
