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.”
Behind the scenes: How I plan & manage content
Confession: I'm totally nosy. And with the perfectly curated social media world we live in, I find myself craving the real stuff. The raw details, you know? I want to see the how not just the what. I've been blogging (though now seemingly "on & off"--but that's...
Stuff & Things: Catch Up!
++You know how you all have that one Christmas song that you just have to hear to feel like the season has officially launched? Well I din't realize it until yesterday afternoon, but oddly enough that song for me is Same Old Lang Syne by Don Fogelberg. Not technically a Christmas...
FRIENDS Obsession & Brunch
My senior year of HS, thanks to the now husband, I got seriously into FRIENDS. I got my first DVD box set that Christmas from my awesome Aunt (thank Aunt Marie), and it all kind of went downhill (or uphill, depending on how you see an obsession with a TV show) from there. I went to...
We Create Our Own Realities With Our Words
Sundays look a little different around here lately. Kim (you know, my blogging friend who turned out to be my freaking neighbor) and I make a point to try to meet on Sundays to handle blog stuff. It keeps us accountable, we bounce ideas off one another, and to be honest? It's nice to...
Stuff & Things I Want: Christmas List Edition
I didn't really grow up making Christmas lists. Santa Claus knew what I wanted, and beyond that my mom worked her magic. It wasn't until I was grown up and married that people started asking me what I want for Christmas. Namely, the husband. So I write these posts for him...
HI, I'M JOEY
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.
