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.”
Being patient & having faith #ThanksgiveUP
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, be prayerful and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 Leaving my steady day job to pursue using my gifts and talents daily has been the most wonderful but hardest thing I've...
Just because
I have a question. Do you ever find yourself getting really pissed off? Your husband didn't take out the trash. Or he left his dirty socks laying around. Or he didn't make the bed for the millionth day in a row. Oh boy, most of the fighting in this house hold consists me doing the yelling. And I'm...
Men don’t have this problem.
Kristin wrote this post and it gave me the courage to write about an experience. Again, I'll start this out with the typical "I'm not the epitome of a healthy person." disclaimer. I eat candy. I love fast food. I drink lots of wine and rarely (cough, never) work out....
Our little life…
Small beginnings. That's where everyone starts, usually. We had not a dollar to our name. If it weren't for the money we got from our wedding, our living room would have been empty. Our bills barely got paid each month. barrrrrrely. Things were so new. But...
Holiday made for two…
Mr. Husband and I have officially decided to spend the holidays here in our own home. I realize that's a bit of a ways away, but if we don't make our plans early and stick to our guns, we end up in the battle of the "whose holiday is it?" It's our holiday. Last year was the first time...

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.
