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.”
BLM. It matters. You matter.
I picked a bad week to quit social media. If you've been around here for a while then you know I never really fell in love with social media the way I did with blogging. And I felt pressured to transition into that world as the platforms progressed and blogging, as...
The True Magic of Marriage
The other day while I was running, Stand By You by Rachel Platton came on Pandora. I've heard it a hundred times before but barely listened to it. It's catchy enough though it's not really my cup of tea. After that run, I went home and bought the song on iTunes. I had...
Time + Hard Work = Perspective
When my Camry died, I was knee deep in Yeah, Maybe revisions on a computer that was 7 years old and barely functioning. Everyone was telling me I needed to get a car. I decided it was more important to get a new computer. So after Yeah, Maybe was published (that's right, you guys, I...
Is The Apple Watch Worth It + How I Use It
I'm all for anything that makes life seem a little easier these days. In the last 12 months, my life has done a full 180, and I'll be honest in saying that 90% of the time it all feels like too much. I adored my Fitbit Flex. I wore it religiously. I raved about it. And the...
What do you do for you?
I was starting to lose myself. It was happening quietly. Slowly. Little by little. A yes here. A yes there. And before I knew it, I was gone. The parts I loved about myself, the parts I loved about my life, I'd stopped making the time for. I was too...
HI, I'M JOEY
Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.

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.
