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.”

Anticipation of Change
When my husband came home unexpectedly only shortly after leaving for work, I knew why before I even opened the door to find his eyes rimmed red. He'd lost his job. The job we relied on 100%. That job provided our house, our insurance, and our only source of income. So, now what? That was the...
Valentine’s Day Nails
Remember way back when I used to post nail pictures every week? I'd share my at-home manicure tips and all was right with the world? Well, I'm bringing it back! This is me putting feelers out there: is there any interest in reviving the old Nail Files link up? Let me know! Julep Lorraine Color...
In case you're wondering how this week has been going...Jonathan and I spent 30 minutes cleaning up a shattered jar of pickles from the floor last night. Anyway. Let me tell you about my placebo haircut. You might be wondering how does one get a placebo haircut? Well, they walk on down to the...
Change that Follows Loss
I do this thing that drives my husband insane. His first real experience with it was our Sophomore year of college. We'd made plans; he was supposed to come by my apartment for dinner. When he didn't show up, I tried calling him...over and over. When an hour went by, and I couldn't reach him, I...
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.
