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.”
Julep Flora: The Nail Files
Despite the funky mood I've been in all week, I did a decent job keeping anxiety at bay. Compared to last week, I'd say this was a "win" week in the anxiety department. I've come to love my quiet time every morning. Call me crazy, but I've always been a morning...
On The Lows
It was 2011. And we had hit rock bottom. All of the plans we had in place fell through. Both of our cars had broken down and our bank account was at zero. We were to be out of our apartment at the end of the month--we'd overzealously put in our notice with the faith all our...
All over the place!
Hi Lovelies. Goodness! This weekend wasn't without its drama. J and I were heading into Raleigh on Saturday just after he got off work when I got a call from my Mr. Weatherman brother (okay, he's not actually a weatherman but he might as well be)! He had reports of tornado...
I got. I fell. I watched. I read. I shopped.
Oh, gosh. Hi Hi! Let's hop on in to our 5 for Friday. 1. Remember when I mentioned that I was hinting painfully to the husband what I wanted for Christmas? And I said I would elaborate if he did it? Well, he did. I am now the proud owner obsessor of a new...
What Day Is It?
Linked: thenailfiles Hi friends! I'm going to do a little something different today. I'll be honest. Since I work from home, a lot times I'll shower and then get right back into some form of pajamas or lounge clothes. I see nothing wrong with that. Why bother,...
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.
