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.”
Combat the Approval Addiction
Comparing ourselves to others is practically served to us on a silver platter in this digital world. We have constant access to everyone's highlight reel. We carry around a device that chirps and chimes, which studies have proven sends dopamine through our systems....
All The Same…
I've gone through tough stuff before. I've lost loved ones. I've been told I'm not good enough for what I want. I've been through a war for love. And yet, I've always kind of seen my life as golden. J and I have always come out the other side of whatever hardship we...
It Teaches You…
As the girl who had the same bedroom until the day she left for college, I never imagined that I'd be so familiar with moving. I moved dorm rooms and apartments every year of college. Things only got more crazy exciting when J and I got married. Football is much like the...
Hi, Friday.
Better late than never, right? Right. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself. 1. Sinful Colors...uh? Black? Man. I forgot to check the bottle and I'm too lazy to go grab it. But any black would do. And it has China Glaze Fairy Dust over it. Not...
Popping In Friday
1. Revlon: Naughty. This is the relaunch of Relvon Perplexed (if you remember I went on a like a year long hunt for perplexed). This is one of my all-time favorite polishes. It's a very deep purple, but in certain lights looks like a perfect dark grey. 2. At...

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.
