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.”
Organizing your mind!
I have an anxious mind. It doesn't take much for me to feel overwhelmed. And when I have so much to do, it paralyzes me instead of motivating me to be productive. There's little hope once I'm in that state. It takes an impressive force to pull me from that black hole...
Oh, Hi Friday.
1. I wish the picture would do this manicure justice!! I'm absolutely in love with it. The glitter polish was a $.99 W&W polish: W&W wild shine: sparked! I was so pleased with how opaque it was! The pinky/purple is (shocker, I know) another megalast polish: Through...

**UPDATE: for now, I get to keep my gall bladder. Yay!** I'll have more of an update as I get results in. It could be as late as the end of next week. Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts & prayers. I can't believe I hesitated so much over introducing a kitten into our home....
Enough.
Lately, I've been struggling not to fall victim to this. via Do you do this? Because oh, my goodness. It's entirely too easy sometimes. I often find myself making excuses for why I do things a certain way. Or why my life is the way it is. Let me be clear. I feel like I am the luckiest...
A little addition…
Nope. We're not pregnant. BUT After a lot of begging consideration, we introduced a new little member to the Hodges Household this weekend! J, of course, named him. Campbell What? You don't name your pets after your current job? You must not be a football family. Haha....
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.
