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.”

The Constant Imbalance.

I'm good at making messes.  Not actual, literal messes, though I am good with those too.  I mean the life messes.  I don't know how they happen.  I don't think I'm an irresponsible person.  But for some reason, I often find myself in the throws of a mess. I can't be sure...

A Journey for a Fashion-Stunted Girl.

Now that I'm free from the dungeon that was Buies Creek (I kid, sort of), I'm back out among people.  I know at this point you all must think I'm being dramatic when I refer to that life, but I'm not.  It wasn't uncommon for me to never leave the house for days, sometimes weeks, at...

I've been a little stunted in the whole nail polish department lately.  And it's taken me a while to figure out why. Don't get me wrong, I am just as obsessed with polish as I always have been.  But I think maybe just maybe I'm done with the whole nail art stuff. I still love a fun,...

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.
