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.”
Don’t feed the weakness
"No thank you" is what I should've said. So, let's talk about weakness for a minute. It's played a running theme in my life lately. And I'm curious if that's true for some of you, too. There's nothing I love more than watching bravery in action. It's awe inspiring and...

On kick starting
Hi Friends! First of all--we are anticipating a good amount of snow today. And here in NC we see snow some, but it always ignites a level of excitement (okay, or panic for some). So I am sitting here in my office with a stupid little smile just staring out the window every few minutes...
5: Week In Review
1. On Tuesday night, Bailey was snuggled up really close to me (read: I was pretty much hanging off the bed). Well at one point she stretched and pushed me a little bit. I was dead asleep but woke up just enough to realize I brushed up against something. I wasn't sure what it was...

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.
