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.

Battling The Inadequacy: Self-Esteem & Confidence
Julep Vanna I've always dealt with some confidence and self-esteem issues. Nothing catastrophic, but there's always been this nagging voice in the back of mind telling me that I'm inadequate. I can usually ignore it, squash it, but not always. And then finally I got fed up, and I started to dig...

Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.
