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.”
Systems & processes for freedom in your creative business
I get it, a big draw for creative entrepreneurship is that ever elusive freedom everyone is lusting after. I remember being at my day job day dreaming about what my life would look like when I no longer had to adhere to someone else's schedule. A lot of people...
Let’s Catch Up: Stuff & Things
I just used the lush mint juleps lip scrub. The weather isn't quite reflecting fall as much as I'd like, but apparently my skin and lips are already boycotting. Well, either way, the lip scrub helps. A lot. I've had that unsatisfiable chapped lips feeling for three days...
Hair Care Tips for Long Hair
Something I get asked more often than I'd ever expect is what products do you use in your hair? I used to have some serious hair envy going on growing up. My high school best friend had amazing hair. And I was always the girl that chopped her hair to chin length...
Real Talk: Marriage, Babies, and Family
Over the weekend, a friend shared something with me that not only horrified me, but also got me thinking. She received a card in the mail from one friend who has children. In that circle of friends, she and her husband are the only couple without a child. Well, the card was addressed to The...
At Home Date Night Idea + Featuring Buffalo Chicken Pizza Recipe
J and I do this thing. It started initially because we couldn't afford much else. But as the years have gone on, we've continued to do it because it's something that's ours. We take our at home date nights pretty seriously. Don't get me wrong, we enjoy a nice dinner out or...

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.
