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.”
It’s not enough
It’s December 2nd. It’s been almost 2 months since I last got up, got ready, and drove to work for the day. It’s been almost 2 months since I gathered my belongings, switched off the light and turned in the doorway to get one last look. I was emotional. Sad to leave....
What I Know About Writing
Something you might not know is that I actually went to college for writing. My aunt gave me a journal for my tenth birthday. It was yellow with little blue flowers on it. I don't know what prompted her to pick that gift for me, but she's always had an odd all-knowing sense about me. The rest, as...
Trusting the Universe
On Thursday, I grabbed my computer and set up shop at a Starbucks. I tried to go to one location, but it was packed, not a table in site. So I moseyed on to the next in another neighborhood. Headphones in, I found the zone, happily working away. Suddenly, a face appeared in mine. I pulled my...
Little by Little: Now We’re Here
Myra and I signed our partnership agreement on Monday. A two hour long meeting resulted in squeals and cheers. I can't believe we're here, I said to her, unable to swallow my smile. And then I got teary. The story here is this: I wanted to try my hand at business again. When I launched Blush...
Look For the Good
Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping. -Mr. Rogers I tweeted out on Sunday night that if I had to pick one word to summarize the weekend, it would be disappointed. It's very easy to feel sad and disappointed in the world we live in today. The headlines are filled with...
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.
