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.”
Paint My Future
I balance my laptop and notebook in one arm and a to-go coffee tray in the other as I booty bump the office door open. Myra's already there, and she's on a call. She looks up from behind her computer and smiles. I unload my stuff onto my desk and put her hot cocoa on...
Currently…
Currently I Am... Stealing... this idea from Steph at The Beautiful Mess [just stumbled upon her blog and LOVE it. Check it out.] Reading... the Pretty Little Liars series. More like devouring it, really. I'm on book number nine and i. just. can't. stop. Thinking...
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...

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.
