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.”

Stuff & Things 7/30
++ I really appreciate the support I got from Monday's post. The reality is, some people just fade from our lives. And while it sucks, it's kind of necessary in my opinion. When I think back on that particular friendship, I'm happy for the memories. But as we've grown...
When The Silence Says It All
I've been quiet because my heart has been working through something. I've struggled with the idea of bringing it up here because there's a line I like to keep drawn, but it is what it is. I just forced myself to close a chapter that to be quite honest has been closed for some time, I just...

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.
