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.”
Time passes without consent
Jonathan and I just recently celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary. And today is my last day as a 30 year old. Over the weekend, we got to have lunch with my best friend from HS and Jonathan's best friend from college. (Fun fact, my MOH married his best man.) And...
The time I went against the grain.
Expectations. Judgements. Explanations. I was 22. I had a degree. I had a job with a fancy title in the industry I was interested in. Granted, the job wasn't at all related to what I knew how to do, but I figured the proximity to what I loved would make me happy. It...
This is real life, folks.
Oh, hi. I had a post scheduled for today (really tomorrow--it's Tuesday night right now), but I'll let that run another time. Sometimes you just need a good old sit down with the blog, am I right? So here I am: post long shower with wine in hand and headphones in. The iphone and ipad...
30 before 30
*learn to spell French Macaron I'm 27. I'll be 28 this year. How the heck did that happen? It makes me think of that quote from Grey's Anatomy: We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop? I hate to admit it, but I've spent a good chunk of my adult life thus...
The time the swat team was at my house
We have lived in our quaint, little house on Campbell's campus for about 10 months now. Sometime last week, our washing machine started freaking out. Now, we rent. So I knew we'd have to let maintenance know that the washer was going--but I've rented long enough to know that...
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.
