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.”
If the world was ending
I was digging through an old wallet the other day (an original HOBO wallet, I feel like I should tell you only because it's probably the only somewhat fashionable thing I've ever owned) and I found an old business card. It was from my Bliss days, and the title under...
Gift of Memories: Soufeel Charm Bracelet
Soufeel My family is held together with glue. She's often clear, transparent, unobtrusive. Reliable and sturdy, always hard at work keeping us all together despite the miles and mistakes. She's never weak, never falters. We call her Mom. Traditions change, bend, break. But...

Stuff & Things

Don’t Should The Bed
Julep Lori I've started living by a new rule. I don't should the bed. Wait, what? Hear me out. We all do it. We all think we should do this and should do that. It's the way we're programmed. Society expects us to behave a certain way. Family and friends put a certain amount of healthy...

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.
