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...

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,...
DIY Bath Bombs!
I'm absolutely obsessed with Lush bath bombs. One of my favorite things to do is to relax in a nice scented bath and binge Netflix. Lately, it's been something I look forward to all day. I love climbing into bed all fresh, clean and relaxed. I don't know if you've noticed, though. Bath bombs are...
DIY Anxiety Treatment: How to Cope with Anxiety Without Medication
A couple weeks ago, my husband packed up and headed into the mountains for four days. Is it just me, or do guys have the dumbest ideas? On what planet is that a vacation? No, I'm actually asking... It's also taking every ounce of my self-control not to analyze why my husband's version of a...
Letting Go
You know that scene in Forest Gump where he's running forever in the same direction and everyone thinks it's just the best thing ever? And then suddenly he decides I think I'll go home now? That's me right now. I think I'll go home. This year, I've come to the realization that I've kept hold of...
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.
