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.”
What I learned from accidentally quitting social media
I'd been toying with the thought for a while. I just feel like I need a break, I confessed to a few friends. My head felt full but empty at the same time, exhausted without exerting effort. My energy would slowly drain throughout the day with every Instagram login, my...
What’s In My Bag?
It's been on my todo list forever to clean out my purse. Is it just me, or does anyone else hate doing this? I swear, it doesn't matter what I do, I can't keep a purse clean. I figured it'd be a good time to document What's In My Bag. So let's just get into it. 1. My...

(2005) This life we have? The one where you spend your days on a football field and I spend mine behind a computer? The one where at the end of the day, you come home to a house we share? It's all I've ever wanted. This is the life I dreamt of all those years ago when...
The Breaking Point: Book Part 2
It was fall of 2009. I was miserable working for a temp agency inputting data for an international distributor of electric components in a DOS system. Yeah, it was as exciting as it sounds. That was job number 6 after only graduating a year and a half before. To say I was flopping around would...
Online Shopping…
Some of these came out pretty blurry. I'd say I'm sorry, but you all know I'm not a fashion blogger 😉 Dress: c/o eshakti facebook, pinterest, twitter (ah, this is more like it. haha) I will say this, I am not an online shopper. I'm just not. I worry so...
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.
