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.”

Hi friend! If you’ve been around for a while then you’ll know that I used to blog full time back in the day. Then I started a company with my blogging bestie, life went completely sideways and over time I just sort of… Disappeared. And since then, I’ve been trying to...
Losing Control: The Reintroduction of Habits
Do you ever just feel like your life is out of your control? Like you wake up, do all the things, and then as you're laying in bed think to yourself what did I even do today? That's been me lately. I've been productive, don't get me wrong. But it seems I've lost all sense of control and my...
I think you can.
Can I tell you something? Until very recently, I thought I was stupid. I don't say that to be dramatic; I actually believed it. I just thought okay, well, people get dealt a hand in life, and mine just didn't have anything special in it. That's okay, I'll just be the nice girl. I'm embarrassed to...
Catching Up: Kindness of Friends, Pinch Me Moments, & Publishing
Good morning, friends. I've missed you guys. So I've got my cup of coffee, and I'm going to pretend we're finally catching up over a long overdue coffee date. Ready? Ready... If you follow me on social media, then you know I've been dealing with a wicked case of tendonitis in my right wrist. It's...
Life starts over again
when it gets crisp in the fall. -F.S. Fitzgerald. Cool breeze. Pumpkin spice candle. Coffee. Was there ever a more perfect way to start the day? I think not. It's been crazy around here this year, friends. Clearly, because I've all but totally abandoned this space. I look back on the last 8 months...
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.
