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 Hope in the Darkness
For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. Jerimiah 29:11 Months ago, I was in a scary dark place. Life has a way of just kind of throwing everything imaginable at you until you're face down in a...
Actually…
This year has been about definition. Redefining, actually. From the moment I walked across that stage in 2008, I've just been wandering around aimlessly. I'd lost my label. And I know I'm not alone in that feeling. When student is stripped from our name tag, we're all...
Utter Chaos
First of all, thank you all so much for your support yesterday. I try to keep things as real as possible around here. Because you know what? Perfect is boring. So to say that things have been chaotic would probably be an epic understatement. And when things get chaotic, I...
It’s only rain
Do you have a second? Maybe grab a cup of coffee? I'll wait. I really just want to hang here for a minute and chat with you. My people. My friends. It's never a good sign when your faith literally falls and crumbles. I got home on Saturday night and heard a...
Selfie Sunday
Is that a thing? It probably is, huh? Well, anyway. Let's just get to it, shall we? Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foundation in 60 Natural Beige Rimmel Match Perfection Physicians Formula Conceal Rx Rimmel Stay Matte Powder NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny WnW Color Icon Blush in Heather Silk...
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.
