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.”
Amazon finds that actually made my life easier
*disclaimer There was a time where I just didn’t get the hype of online shopping. We’ve already established I don’t like shopping for clothes or dressing myself, but that translated to all online shopping initially. Hold on…I’m pretty sure I can hear my husband (and...
Lifeboats are temporary transportation
Have you ever held on to something that no longer felt right in your life because it was once either really important or served a meaningful purpose? Maybe you're still holding on. Maybe there's someone in your life who once rescued you from a dark period who has since turned toxic and negative....
The truth about multitasking & why I don’t do it
It's likely true that at some point in your career you've boasted about being a fantastic multitasker on a resume or in an interview. I did. It was my number one crowning achievement, or so I thought. My ability to handle all the things at any given moment is what landed me management positions....
Why adults should read young adult novels
When I was sixteen, I penned a promise to myself in my journal. I'll never forget what it feels like to be a teenager. This promise was the product of feeling misunderstood and dismissed by the adults in my life. I don't blame the adults. You see, there's this thing that happens as you grow up....
What I learned from accidentally quitting social media
I'd been toying with the thought for a while. I just feel like I need a break, I confessed to a few friends. My head felt full but empty at the same time, exhausted without exerting effort. My energy would slowly drain throughout the day with every Instagram login, my supply suddenly depleted...

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.
