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.”
How to Maintain Positive Relationships
My favorite thing about people is that none of us are exactly the same. I love hearing people's stories. I love connecting beyond the small talk. I love knowing what makes you tick, feeling your passion, and seeing your heart. Passionate people make my heart sing! I'm...
Firsts…
Firstly, thank you all so very very much for the congratulations and words of condolence/support/etc. I've had a few days to chew on the information, so I'm in a much better place about all of it now. Just saw Jess do this and though, hey, why not. Anything that keeps me from the long...
Good, Bad, Ugly: An announcement.
I'll say it. There was never a better day for this little link up to make it's debut. THE GOOD: Mr. husband has been offered a schnazzy new job (I can't say where until after the press conference. That'll be happening in the next week or so). THE BAD: We have to move. Away from...
The Nail Files: An Experiment
I'm feeling so much better. It's unbelievable that I'm the same person today as I was one week ago. I'm still recovering, but definitely on the mend. I mentioned on twitter a couple weeks ago that I was conducting an experiment for The Nail Files. And, lucky you, today I'm reporting in with...
On change.
Thanksgiving is next week. Can someone please explain to me where 2012 went? An epic year. A growing year. Next week, on Thursday to be exact, Mr. Husband and I will be making a stand for ourselves. For our relationship. For our tiny little family that consists of the two of us and two...
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.
