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.”
Do it anyway
I joined a gym to start doing yoga. Last week, on my birthday actually. I'm not really sure where the desire came from--but it hung around long enough that I decided to take action. I'll be honest and say embarrassment is what was holding me back. I remember feeling...
The One With The Big Mistake
I made a mistake on Monday night. A big mistake. My evenings usually consist of catching up with Myra. She's just waking up for the day--and I'm winding down. We have a brief window to exchange as much information as possible. Monday was no exception. I was waiting on the husband...
Disconnecting.
Remember when I admitted in the things that make me crazy how much I suck at sleeping? Well, I do. And I also really suck at forcing myself to relax. I'm a high strung person. I admit it. It also doesn't help that I can always find something that needs to get done around the house....
Old School & A Frozen Dog.
Thought I'd share another untraditional Valentine's Day mani with you all today--except these poor hearts look a lot more like Mickey Mouses than hearts--but hey, I tried. And you get the idea, right? POLISHES USED Revlon: Minted Finger Paints: Paper Mache' Nina UltraPro: Star Bright TOOLS...
I LOVE LOVE
Can you blame me? I'll admit it. I love Valentine's Day! I just can't help it. I know there's a whole cult of women who boycott the holiday. And I get it. I really do. But I just think it's sweet. And with the hustle and bustle of life any day that makes us stop and remember to...
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.
