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.

Tiny Decisions
At a complete loss on how to deal with a situation, I spent a lot of time with myself, inside my head. I pulled out the adult coloring book I promised myself I'd color in weekly that hadn't been touched in months, pulled out the colored pencils, and dove in. I was instantly faced with decisions....
