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.”
Millennial Money Matters: Throwing Money Away
I hope I'm not alone here, but I'm thirty years old and I've never kept a proper budget. I tried once, several months ago. It was scary to take a focused look at our finances, but I actually found the whole process oddly comforting. It didn't last. I'm not surprised....
A Christmas Fort.
Good morning! Mr. Husband is home. Yippee!!!! And he's home until after New Years! (Do you hear those Angels singing?) So we're soaking up this time together. Funny, we were so looking forward to a quiet Christmas in our own home this year, but him being gone makes this time even more...
Plans don’t mean anything.
Plans don't mean anything. So I'm sitting in a robe. I'm drinking coffee, eating leftover pancakes and catching up on my DVR. I'm half paying attention to the TV. And I happen to look up just when Meredith Grey says, with a smirk on her face: Plans Don't Mean Anything. Mr....
Silence.
I have nothing important to say. All I can say is squeeze your little ones. Hard.
Oh just rambling.
So I've been cleaning lately. Not just picking up, but really going through stuff to prep for 1)Mr. Husband's party on Saturday and 2) our impending move. The more I throw away, the less crap we'll have to move. Right? Right. [I seem to go through this every time we...

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.
