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...
Oh, so you’re just…
First things first...don'tcha just love the new design? I owe it all to the sweet, lovely & talented Ms. Carley. On to business... "Oh, so you're just a nanny?" Can we talk about this? Please? Yes. I have a college degree. In writing, actually. Well,...
The Secret Life of Cee Cee Wilkes: review!
I spent the weekend resting and reading. And reading. And reading. I am the slowest reader on the planet. And a book of 500 + pages usually takes me about 2 weeks to read. I read The Secret Life of Cee Cee Wilkes by Diane Chamberlain in 3 days. Oh. My. Gosh. via This book was so...
Saying Goodbye…
I'm sharing something sad today. And I contemplated not saying anything about it at all because deep down it still really hurts. And I really don't know if I can take the judgement or the comments. But holding it inside is making me a little crazy. Remember Webster? Webster is a troubled little...
Virtual encouragement
I had a tough time just after college. I had identified myself for so long as a student that once that title was stripped from me, I felt kind of empty. And while I appreciate my education; it shaped me more as a person than it did for a career. To say I was lost was a complete...

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.
