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 make time to do what you want when you’re already busy
I say often that you won’t find time, you have to make it. And I must say it a lot because I’ve started to get asked how you’re supposed to actually do that. I hear a lot from people that they’re busy and truly don’t have the time they need to get everything done. And...
It’s not enough
It’s December 2nd. It’s been almost 2 months since I last got up, got ready, and drove to work for the day. It’s been almost 2 months since I gathered my belongings, switched off the light and turned in the doorway to get one last look. I was emotional. Sad to leave. I walked down the hallway with...
Dear little one, (A strange life update)
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I've worried since the moment I found out you existed. I worried if you would stick around. I worried about being a terrible mother. I worried if you would be okay. I worried if I was feeding you enough, if I picked the safest stuff for you, if you would...
Some things.
I did it again. I dropped off the face of the planet just like I promised I wouldn't. OG blog friends -- do any of you just sort of feel...old in the online space these days? I ditched socials, at least in the consistent consuming/posting kind of way back in May of 2020 and haven't really looked...
It’s been a while & everything has changed: BIG NEWS
Well hello! Yes, I'm going to just drop right on in here like I haven't been totally MIA since December. It's 8:35 PM, and I returned from a walk just a bit ago in an attempt to escape the house. And now I'm hiding in the office that's soon to be a nursery because the husband is cutting and...
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.
