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.”
Catching Up: Kindness of Friends, Pinch Me Moments, & Publishing
Good morning, friends. I've missed you guys. So I've got my cup of coffee, and I'm going to pretend we're finally catching up over a long overdue coffee date. Ready? Ready... If you follow me on social media, then you know I've been dealing with a wicked case of...
What Do You Remember?
I have a sign hanging in my office. I've had it for a really long time. I remember I bought it as a reminder--but I couldn't tell you the last time I read it all the way through. Well, before today that is. Be You. A Genuine Original. Find your voice. Make a difference. Don't forget where you came...
But It’s Not What I Want.
Hi friends!! I wasn't myself last week. I felt like everything just slipped out of my control. I was feeling really discouraged with my revisions. The house was a mess because why bother. And admittedly--I was feeling lonely. Sometimes this working from home thing can...
A Happy Accident
I won't lie to you. This manicure was a complete mistake. I'd painted my nails earlier in the week with OPI The World Is Not Enough. I really, really love this polish. I'm a huge fan of OPI in general, but lately haven't been spending the dollars on it. Abby gave me...
Stuff & Things #1
I messed up. I'm the one who basically bullied Kristin into making this a link up--and then I went on some kind of blog hiatus and totally forgot all about it. Either way, I'm here now. But about that blogging hiatus thing? I blame revisions. And the fact that it's my...
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.
