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.”
Limiting beliefs & comparison
Oh friends. This post is coming to you from a burning deep in my heart. These thoughts have been swirling for some time, but I've been unable to pinpoint exactly what it is I want to say on the subject. But after a sleepless night that prompted a 4AM dive down an...
Tips On How To Fake A Clean Home
Saturday mornings, I clean. I keep telling myself I'll implement a cleaning schedule to maintain throughout the week to avoid spending any precious weekend time scrubbing toilets, but that hasn't happened yet. But I woke up tired on Saturday with a pile of work to finish. So I threw a...
Dinner In Minutes: Featuring Smithfield Marinated Pork Sirloin
I live a double life. At home, I am wife, pet parent, and writer. But at my day job, I have four kids who just returned to school. And we all know what that means: the return of homework, after school activities, and chaos. I'm easily overwhelmed, so it's necessary for me...

>> Through an unfortunate series of events dealing with a hair salon, I ended up cutting my own hair on Monday night in a fit of frustration. Bangs, no less. They turned out okay considering I broke the cardinal sin of womanhood. I did eventually make it into a salon to...

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.
