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.”Â

Do you believe in random connections? I don't. I think everyone we meet is meant to cross our paths for one reason or another. I love when the reason for random encounters becomes abundantly obvious. I like it even more when you can identify those encounters as God...

Dear person in any kind of relationship: A little advice. I don't typically go there, but sometimes it just needs to be done. I consider myself a relationships writer, and if that's the case, then this post just needs to be written. None of us are perfect. There are things,...

The Worst Date Ever [Valentine’s Challenge]
I'm linking up with Neely, Amber and Casey today!This also falls into the category of one of those "missed opportunities." And let me clarify. This was only a bad date because I made it that way. Mr. Husband is completely romantic. And I'm hard to surprise.We traveled to Charleston, SC with our...

Hi friends, do you hate me? Â I would promise that I'll be more present in the blogesphere, but apparently that statement makes me a liar often. Â So for now, I'm here when I'm here. Â When I'm not here? Â Assume I'm cleaning the house. Â Or caring after two of the cutest kids in the world. Â Or...

HI, I'M JOEY
 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.
