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.”
Easy & Delicious Dinner: Ritz Cracker Chicken
Okay, if I'm being totally honest, I'm in a food rut 99.9% of the time. I have a slight addiction to eating out. And I also tend to toe the line of hangry before I finally start to make any food decisions. That's not a recipe for success I tell you. I don't...
Decide what to be…
When I was a sophomore in high school I didn't make it into Wind Ensemble. All of my friends did. If you weren't a band geek, that's the advanced band. The band that wasn't a joke. The band that competed. I was embarrassed. And hurt. And mad at myself. So I worked my ass off and gloated...
9 Years!
9 years. My car had been broken down in the HS lot for days, and I was finally calling a tow truck. The cute football guy pulled up in his old white Chevy to check on me. And my life changed forever. Mr. Husband, I'm glad we got married, but more importantly? I'm glad we're friends. [eight...

Oh, so you’re just…

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.
