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.”
How I use ChatGPT for my bible time | Personalized Bible Study using ChatGPT
Confession? I fell out of my bible time routine. And once I was out, getting back into it felt overwhelming. And the more I thought about it, I started to question if I even really needed it. Did it really make that big of a difference? I started to convince myself it...

Speech delay? Toddler diagnosed Autism? Toddler diagnosed ADHD? Sensation Seeking? | Our journey to diagnosis & proper resources
The phone rang. Again. At this point, I’d come to expect it. “Hi Joey. I’m sure by now you dread seeing my name pop up on your screen.” She wasn’t wrong. The director of the daycare, a sweet woman about my age, was once again on the other end of the line to ask me to come get my son. I texted my...

Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.

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.
