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...
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....
Can we hug Fridays?
1. I painted my nails. Duh. Wet & Wild Megalast: I need a refreshmint with Sinful Colors: Nail Junkie (appropriate, I think ;)) My hands have been super dry lately, so please excuse the grossness of them. Any recommendations? 2. If how I feel when I take sudafed is any...
I’m a Crazy Person.
I realize that not everyone is a cat person. But I am one. And so is my husband. I know it's even rarer for a man and wife to be equally into cats, but in this house we are. As I type this, I'm realizing how strange we sound. Bare with me. We find cat videos...
Friday: the usual
1. Per usual, I painted my nails. I tried a little something different this time, but I might need practice. I stuck a pin in a pencil eraser and tried the whole polka dot thing. I'll do better next time. However, I did notice just a few minutes after painting them that,...

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.
