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.”

This is hard, but I am thankful.

I took this week off from work. In case you're new here--it's been a terribly difficult year. We rang in the new year by losing my father in January. Then I launched a company and left my day job. Keep yourself busy everyone said. I did. And I was tired. Breaking my...

Holiday Evolution

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!   The hubs and I are having so much fun creating the traditions that we'll uphold once we have a family. Sometimes I think it's extremely important to make your relationship the first priority and let everything else take a back seat. I realize that is kind of...

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.
