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 been a while & everything has changed: BIG NEWS
Well hello! Yes, I'm going to just drop right on in here like I haven't been totally MIA since December. It's 8:35 PM, and I returned from a walk just a bit ago in an attempt to escape the house. And now I'm hiding in the office that's soon to be a nursery because the...
The Whole Story
I went for a run this morning. Immediately after I finished, I wanted to post a picture to instagram. I know some people hate those types of posts, but I like them because they keep me motivated, and they keep me connected to people like me. But the truth is, I hesitated. It doesn't fit your...
The Messy Middle of Launching A Business
It's 5:30AM. My husband is still asleep on the couch where he fell asleep watching TV last night, and the cat is pawing at my lap, begging for more cuddles. But I'm staring bleary eyed at my computer. It's too early to put in my contacts, and I'm too stubborn/lazy to put on my glasses. My alarm...
Sometimes Excuses Are Truths
A friend texted me last night and asked me how book #2 was coming. It's not, I replied. I racked my brain searching for a reason, and I had plenty, but they all sounded like excuses. Because they are. The truth is, life got busy. I got wrapped up in work. My family is dealing with loss. And...
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...
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.
