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.”
Decide & do
I've started this blog post three different times. I know what I want to say, I think. But I just can't figure out how to say it. So instead, we're going to time travel back into the good old days of blogging where I just talk to you like a good friend. Sound good?...
Stuff & Things: Life Lately Edition
On Sunday we visited Walmart for the first time since living here. On our way out, I stepped in the largest wad of gum you've ever seen. And it was 100+ degrees out. I slipped out of my shoes as we got in the car and left them in the parking lot. Walmart = casualties....
Twelve Hours…
Okay. So the twelve hours between 9PM on Monday night and 9AM on Tuesday were the weirdest, most dramatic hours. Let me back up. Monday was perfection. Things at work were great. The kids were in good moods, and things had quieted down after all the craziness the week...
I Never Expected It To Hurt.
I started to feel it on Saturday. The anticipation. The clenching in my heart. The confusion of emotions. I expected to feel a lot of things. But I never expected it to hurt. This was the last weekend for coaches before it starts. The season. The black hole that sucks away husbands around...
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...
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.
