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.”
Cheap Date Idea: Penne a la Betsy
Here's the thing: date nights can get unnecessarily expensive. Think about it: the booze, the appetizers, the entrees, dessert. And that's just dinner. I don't know about you, but we're saving to buy a house. I cry over my dollar bills when I exchange them for a glass...
And when they break and fall apart…
Family that are friends. Friends that are family. People who are called to be nurses and doctors: and called to be the best of those they can be. Medicine. Technology. Location. Always somehow being exactly where we need to be. Thank. You. God. photo
::crickets:: & cats
I know. I've been quiet. And that's not like me. Here's this for your entertainment until I feel like being chatty again. photo photo photo Mr. Husband and I tossed around the idea of shaving our cat George. Then I looked up these pictures and DIED laughing. Verdict's still out. I'll let you...
Confession: A change
Okay, it's confession time. Remember when I said I'm naturally skinny (and that you could hate me?), well, I think my eating habits are catching up to me. I don't keep a scale in my house. I just don't. I don't think it's nice or fair or healthy. I say that because I feel like I...
How Conversations Get Here?
I'm not really sure how the conversation got here but somehow Mr. Husband and I started talking about Kangaroos. And then, for some reason, I found myself pulling up some kangaroo videos. And I came to the conclusion: Kangaroos are just the strangest looking animal on the planet! I think they...

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.
