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.”
And suddenly we’re here…
Things are happening around here. Big things. And oddly enough, we just gently tapped them to see what would happen and suddenly things are in motion. Funny how that happens. I confessed to you in my millennial money matters post that we've spent a sickening amount on...
It was painful. It was good.
Five months ago I was in the fetal position on my dining room floor on the phone with a good friend in the midst of the messiest of cries. That kind of cry when you don't even really have enough air to get words out. In my heart, all I felt was that I just did not want to. I'm not a...
I did something…. (announcement)
Hi guys. I've been working on getting the nerve to do something getting something set up for a while now. I've actually been thinking about doing this for a really really long time. A few weeks ago I mentioned that I have a secret obsession. And it's youtube. Beauty...
Lately

Moving tales
Good morning, loves! We are moving right along with this move. Oh. I said move a lot. Anyway. This post is mostly brought to you by massive amounts of caffeine and exhaustion! The husband spent the night in the new house on Thursday night with the cat (George--who had...

Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.

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.
