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.”

My Strange Addiction

When we were first married, I bought a $20 waffle iron at someplace like dollar general or big lots.  It was just a random decision fueled by some kind of thought like Oh, we're married now.  We should own a waffle iron. Apparently these are the thoughts that go through my mind. One...

The Breakdown…

So I had an emotional breakdown on Thursday.  I can laugh about it now, but y'all.  I try to give you a pretty basic idea of what it's like to be a football wife.  And I honestly do my very best to be as supportive as possible (and I think I do an okay job at that).  But it is...
