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.”
Weekly Roundup 6/19
Is it just me or did this week fly right by? Some of you might not know this, but I now work part time for the college where my husband coaches. It started out as something to get me out of the house and into the community where we were building our lives. But it...
From Senior Prom to Wedding Bells
Last night, I leaned over the back of the couch to kiss my husband good night. I still like you, I whispered before kissing his cheek. An odd thing to say, sure, but still the truth. We met seventeen years ago in eighth grade P.E. class. Friends only, it surprised me most of all...
But How Do We Know?
I ran to get bagels this morning. It was a hectic morning, and I was annoyed that my stomach was growling and my pantry was empty. After trying to ignore it for an hour, I found myself standing in line, counting the minutes I was wasting. It was then that I saw a woman sitting at a...
Morning Routine: Aggressively Chasing Dreams
I'm the kind of person who needs something to look forward to in the morning, or I end up having a really hard time getting out of bed. I took my day job with the intention of using the schedule to aggressively chase my dreams. Moving back to Charlotte meant a lot of changes, chief among...
Are You Faking It?
Whenever you're trying something new, there's a pretty standard period of time where you feel a bit like a fraud. When I started running, I felt awkward and weird when I'd wander into the active wear section of Target. I felt like I didn't belong there because I wasn't a runner....

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.
