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.”
My dream workday & how to discover your own
While it’s super fun to get dreamy, I believe it’s actually essential to get an idea of what your dream workday looks like. Why? Because without an awareness of how you want to show up every day, you run the risk of establishing habits and routines that you don’t love and don’t work for you.
When You’re Waiting for A Marriage Proposal
Julep: Michaela My junior year of college, one of our friends confided in me that he'd bought a ring and was proposing to his girlfriend. Instead of feeling happy and excited, I was overwhelmed with jealousy. It didn't matter that we were only twenty years old, but my boyfriend and I had...
All the Fall Things Make Me Giddy!
I hit Target the other day (are you even surprised?) and saw that the Airwick fall scents were on sale for $4.99 (two inserts and a plug in). I didn't even think twice, boop boop boop, in to my basket went three different packs, thank you very much. When I got home, J and I were in a hurry...

Productivity Hacks: Stuff & Things
Running a business + working full time means that I don't have time to be lazy, uninspired, or to procrastinate. It's easy to get overwhelmed, but the other side of that coin is to just come to a full stop, ignoring all responsibility. Let's not let that happen, okay? Your space...

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.
