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.”

I love knowing what makes you tick, feeling your passion, and seeing your heart. Passionate people make my heart sing! I'm genuinely interested in what...
Paint My Future
I balance my laptop and notebook in one arm and a to-go coffee tray in the other as I booty bump the office door open. Myra's already there, and she's on a call. She looks up from behind her computer and smiles. I unload my stuff onto my desk and put her hot cocoa on her's. She mouths "thank you"...

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.
