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.”
A wakeup call about arbitrary standards
** I have had a few requests to provide audio for my blog posts. So if you'd rather consume this blog post via audio, here you go!** This is a silly little tale that I hope will serve as a powerful wakeup call about the stupid things we beat...
What I’ve Been Up To: Behind The Scenes + A Big Announcement
I'm twenty-nine years old, and I'm still trying to find myself. Fifteen year old Joey would be very disappointed in that fact. The old insecurities that you feel when you're in high school tend to follow us into adulthood. We fight them off, one by one, with accomplishments....
Style Update: Accessorizing (Featuring Julep + Soufeel)
Nails: Julep Casey I'm trying with the whole fashion thing, friends. I am. But I'm just discovering that I'm a very simple girl with very plain style. I'm okay with it, I think. I mean, the point isn't to push myself into being someone I'm not. The point is to...
I Still Like You
Hurdle after hurdle, this year keeps throwing twists and turns at us that should trip us up. I saw this image a few weeks ago, on a particularly hard day, and thought...yup. But the truth is, the only real option is to just keep moving forward. It's to the point now that when we hit a...
Cups Lives On!
I don't have a nail polish post for you today because I haven't painted my nails consistently since last month. I'm not sure who I am anymore, but once I figure that out, I'll let you know. Also, I'm not going to touch much on 9/11 today. I've written about it before. Many times....
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.
