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.”
Some things.
I did it again. I dropped off the face of the planet just like I promised I wouldn't. OG blog friends -- do any of you just sort of feel...old in the online space these days? I ditched socials, at least in the consistent consuming/posting kind of way back in May of...
Stay
The weird thing is, I lived in the same home, in the same room, my entire childhood until the day I left for college. So you might be surprised to hear that I felt itchy, desperate, panicked to move a few months ago for the umpteenth time in my adult life. Everything felt wrong. Things...
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...
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.
