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.”
I self-helped myself into a robot
Oh, hi. It's been a minute, huh? I guess I have some explaining to do. That's kind of the whole point of this post, if I'm being honest. Self-help books made me stop blogging. Okay, that's dramatic. But...it's actually kind of the truth. I was once a relatively...

Yo, Kristin. Why haven't you made this a link up yet? --As a kid, I had zero patience for the game Tetris. This poses a problem for me as an adult. How do I know this? My husband always rearranges the dishwasher after me. --Everyone is all I hate this and I hate that and...

back in the day I used to have a twitter account for all of his one liners. I guess I still have it--but I haven't logged into it in years. Today I'll entertain you with some of the conversations that happen in this house. You're welcome. Thursday morning. In bed debating whether...
The Mother of All Cake Stories
I was a really apathetic bride. By the time J and I got engaged--we'd been through so much (and had spent SO much time doing the long distance thing) that I was just ready to call it a done deal. So when it came down to the details--I really just didn't care. I don't remember what our center...
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.
