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.

How To Use Wunderlist and Why + 2016 Projects Revealed
People are either talkers or doers. Very few are both. In the last few years, I believe I've transitioned from talker to doer, but I'd started to lose my edge recently. I had this general sense of OMG I have so much to do, but couldn't ever pin down exactly what it was that I...

Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.
