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.”
Stop waiting for the world to tell you you’re enough.
I was. And I know I'm not the only one. Actually, I spent a lot of my time feeling like I wasn't worth much at all. I searched for myself in all the wrong places. A chameleon, I mirrored others hoping that something would start to feel normal and natural eventually. I...
Should We Just Give Up?
You know this adorable scene in The Notebook? (skip to 1:13) Yeah. It's not like that. It's not like that at all. It's on my 30 before 30 to learn to drive stick shift. It just so happens that my darling Camry is dead, once again, and the only vehicle left for me to use is...
Stuff & Things A Day Late
1. We had to shave Campbell. I can't get over his tail. He went to rub on Bailey's face the other day. She backed away from him as if she was saying don't rub on me you mutant. I still think he's handsome, but then again I don't think people with ugly babies realize...
One Word: Epic.
It might be Thursday, but I'm still catching my breath from this weekend. This is a long one, but I promise it's worth it if you stick around til the end. You all remember my friend Amber, right? The one with the heart of gold who loved me when I wasn't very lovable? Well, our roles...
Birthday Mani!
What else screams BIRTHDAY like rainbows and glitter? Yeah, nothing. That's what! Today isn't my birthday. But Sunday is! And you know I won't be hangin' around these parts over the weekend! Sonya Kashuk: Jammin' Finger Paints: Paper Mache Kiss Silver striper Pure Ice Beware SK Jammin,...
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.
