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.”
I dreamt of this
Sunday light creeped through the window, and I stirred, an arm heavy over my waist. I rolled over to face him, and he hugged me in tight. Good morning. In an instant, I was seventeen again, back in my sky blue room, in my tiny daybed with a phone resting against my...
Stuff & Things 7/2
Apparently this is what putting yourself on book deadline looks like. You know, on top of your full time job that's more than 40 hrs/week, blogging, freelancing, and trying to maintain some semblance of a life. The good news is it's Thursday. Whatever that means. No, but really....
Emily Ley Simplified Planner: Academic Daily Overview
I nearly screeched when I found the Emily Ley Simplified Planner: Academic Daily version tucked neatly on a shelf in a local Charlotte paper boutique! The hugely sought after planner is tough to come by online, never to pick it up in your very own hands and walk it over to a cash register....
Weekly Goals
Back in the day (oh holy crap this was a long time ago) I used to do monthly goals. And then I'd break those monthly goals into weekly goals. And I was so freaking productive all the time. I do well when I have structure and I know what my expectations are. I also...
Stuff & Things 6/25
Emily Ley Simplified Planner: Daily Edition. While I still love my Plum Paper planner (and still highly recommend it), I find that I need a bit more for my days. It's time to graduate to a daily planner. I'll have a full overview soon, but for now I just couldn't believe I got my...
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.
