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.”
The importance of breaking (and what it’s taught me)
If you're here from my Youtube video, you can grab your free download below! Hi friends! Been a minute, huh? Obviously if you saw my last post you can imagine that life since then has been somewhat insane. 2023 hasn't gone at all the...
The Year that was Meant to Be Mine
I trust God. When it all boils down at the end of a hard day, a rough week, or a tough year, I trust God. 2015 ended with me enthusiastically shouting to anyone who would listen 2016 IS GOING TO BE MY YEAR! I was so convinced of it, it had to be! 2015 was a hard year. It started with everything...
Music & Memories: How Music Provides an Invisible Scrapbook of My Life
I plugged my phone in while driving to pick up an old friend from the airport. I'm not sure why, but when I do that it plays music from my "purchased" playlist in my iTunes. I usually turn it off immediately, but it was dark and raining, and I didn't feel like messing with my phone. I let it play....
Homemade Broccoli Cheddar Soup Recipe
The student union at App had a restaurant upstairs called McAlisters. It's a regular chain deli, but that particular one took my magical meal card. (Can we all pour a little out in memory of those magical little cards? And also? Thanks parents. You had us so fooled into believing we were making it...
Gilmore Girls A Year in the Life: On Family & Loss. (May Be Spoilers)
I'm the kind of person who loves well-done, realistic TV. I put myself in the stories, relating the characters to my life. I take what I can use and leave the rest. So I'm sure you can imagine how I might have felt while watching the Gilmore Girls revival having lost my own dad just this January....
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.
