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.”
Morning Routine: Establish a Positive Attitude First Thing
My morning routine is sacred. I learned early on that unless I make self-care a priority first thing in the morning, chances are I won't take care of myself at all. Did you know that the first seven minutes of your morning determine your mood for the entire day?...
What’s in my bedside drawer?
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bedsider.org. Family: that's your cue to click out. I wish I'd known about Bedsider when it was my time to make birth control decisions. I don't know how it went for y'all, but for me? It was crazy confusing and overwhelming....
On fighting
**I wrote this post last year--almost exactly a year ago. It's still the very best piece of advice I can give anyone. I hope despite this being a repeat post you'll take the time to read it. I promise you you won't regret it.** Dear person in any kind of relationship: A little...
You, I adore.
**I know the rules say ONE, but that's not happening! ha** I actually just recently did this. Without being prompted. And I called it a God Thing. But these two women came into my life just when I needed them most. And the funny thing is, I didn't even realize until they...
What I know all about.
So, I asked my husband what are things that I know a lot about. His answers: make up. nail polish. cleaning. kids. Fair answers, husband. Fair answers. But in all seriousness, lately I know a thing or two about self doubt. What do you guys do for a living? Do...

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.
