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.”
Fresh Start: How to Be Happy
I've always really liked the idea of a new year. A fresh start. The chance to try again. I think New Years is like an important reminder to check in and evaluate. How did things go throughout your year? What could you do better? Did you finally find your groove with...

Book Review: Unbreak My Heart by Melissa Walker
Hi guys! Sorry I've kind of fallen off the blogging planet. I'm around, I promise. I'm constantly checking twitter and with other bloggers to find out what to read next. And as I was doing that the other night, I got to thinking. How nice is it to be among a community who values...
You Are Still The Same You.
Now that I work from home, I see a lot more commercials than before. Most of the time I'm hardly paying attention to the TV, but it's just something to have on in the background. But it never fails that certain commercials grab my attention. It's no secret that I'm in to makeup....

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.
