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.”
Never again.
It was almost exactly a year ago when I wrote this post about how it's not enough. I remember how I felt in that moment. I could hardly pull myself together. The thought of leaving him, my two month old son, actually hurt. I felt the pieces of my broken heart, the...
The Marry Mask: DIY Face Mask fo Acne & Scarring
Things I didn't think I'd have to deal with anymore once I became an adult: drama curfews acne Turns out I was wrong. Way wrong. Drama knows know age limit. Cool. I was put under curfew mere weeks ago thanks to the Charlotte Protests. I still have acne. At thirty freaking years old. I honestly...
Easy & Delicious Dinner: Ritz Cracker Chicken
Okay, if I'm being totally honest, I'm in a food rut 99.9% of the time. I have a slight addiction to eating out. And I also tend to toe the line of hangry before I finally start to make any food decisions. That's not a recipe for success I tell you. I don't necessarily mind cooking, but like I...
Where to find me!
Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by. Over the next few weeks, you'll notice some significant changes happening around here. This site will be transitioning into my official author website (fancy smancy, huh)?! If you're here looking for blog content, you've gotten a little turned around....
Charlotte Creatives with CLTivate, The Gallery, & Bliss Creative
Do you believe in random connections? I don't. I think everyone we meet is meant to cross our paths for one reason or another. I love when the reason for random encounters becomes abundantly obvious. I like it even more when you can identify those encounters as God Things. You know what I mean,...

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.
