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.”

When Backwards is Forward
I'm scared down to my bones. And it feels so good. I spent Sunday night googling Mercury in Retrograde at my kitchen counter with Amanda. She'd been hearing about it all over the place, and truthfully so had I. But I tend to take things with a basic understanding and just assumed that the...
I’ll Keep Trying
When I'd get broken up with in middle and high school, because I always did, I would lock myself in my bedroom and blare sad breakup songs. I'd let the feelings of loss and sadness, inadequacy and heartbreak wash over me, breaking me. I'd sit and cry until I couldn't cry anymore. I'd write it all...
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.
