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.”
CHECK IN ON YOURSELF
There's a meme that floats around every summer that makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. You see, down here in North Carolina, we basically roast every summer. It's not unusual to have several days, if not weeks, where our temps hang out somewhere in the 105...
DIY Bath Bombs
I've been absolutely obsessed with Lush bath bombs lately. One of my favorite things to do is to relax in a nice scented bath and binge Netflix. Lately, it's been something I look forward to all day. I love climbing into bed all fresh, clean and relaxed. I don't know if...
Chasing Dreams: Get Specific About What’s Stopping You
There hasn't ever been anything in my life that I wanted that I didn't somehow make happen. Before you click out and think I'm an asshole, bear with me. I'm a compulsive person. I think I want a haircut? I need it that afternoon. I decide I want a lipstick? I'm...
Stuff & Things 1/28
>> I am the most vocal sick person on the planet. I can deal with most sickness, but when it's a sore throat, you'll hear about it. And you'll hear about it until it's gone. I cannot handle a sore throat. So basically, I want to scratch my throat out at this moment....
Get Undone Faster: Simple MIcellar Water vs Garnier Fructis Micellar Water
I don't know about you, but when I walk through the door at the end of the day...I'm done. Spent. The idea of doing anything else seems out of the question. I'm at the age when taking care of my skin isn't really an option anymore. But if you knew how often I have an...

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.
