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.”
Stuff & Things: I’m doing it…
Nostalgia has been haunting me lately. There's a desperate longing for periods in my life that were just much simpler. The moments vary, whether it was high school, college, or even as recent as when we lived in our Buies Creek bubble. Those simpler times...
Nail Polish: Best of 2013
Hi Friends! As I was putting away my Christmas and "get well soon" nail polish loot, I got to thinking about what some of my favorites were for 2013. You'd think for a girl like me whose collection well exceeds 100 polishes that I'd have a hard time picking favorites. Surprisingly, it...
Good Riddance
Good morning, loves. I'm blaming the fact that it still looks like nighttime outside for J and I sleeping through our alarms this morning. That or the fact that it's back to work today for the first time in 16 days. In case you didn't notice--the blog got a little makeover yesterday....
On Feeling Guilty
It is January 4th. This is what my house looks like right now. I wish you could understand the amount of guilt I felt when I walked away in the middle of taking the tree down to go lay down in bed. That is just not me. When I start something, I finish it. Especially when it comes to cleaning...
Is it the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning?
Hi all. They say what you do on New Years Day you'll do all year long. I don't know who "they" are, but here I am. I'm not going to do the traditional 2013 recap today. I'm also not going to give you some drawn out list of my goals for what I'd like to accomplish in 2014. If you've...
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.
