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.”
Stop. Breathe. Refocus. Trust.
I worked myself into a tizzy on Tuesday. The paperwork for our apartment sublet was officially signed which I’ve been anticipating for weeks now. But for some reason, it tossed me into a downward spiral. I like plans and clarity. Definites and stability. And now,...
Reminiscing with Scents
I don't know about for you, but scents almost always trigger memories for me. A lot of that might be due in part to the fact that I generally reserve certain scents for certain events. Or better yet, especially in HS, I'd get obsessed with something and then any time I smell that...
What it’s like.
Well, guys. It's that time of year again. What time is that, you're wondering? The time when football steals away my husband until December. I'm pretty used to it by now, but I thought I'd give you a little glimpse into being a football widow. I've eaten more...
Hi5 & Nails!
1. I got bangs this week. I was crazy hesitant because a) it's hot as hell outside and b) I have two weddings in the very near future and if they looked jacked up I'd totally regret it. I might have to tell you all the ways bangs have solved my problems in the near future. Pardon...
Ugliness.
First of all, this has nothing to do with me. I have been lucky enough to avoid the nastiness on the internet. I think a lot of that is due in part to the fact that those of you who take the time to read this blog, read my tweets or watch my videos know me on some level....
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.
