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 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...
Moving.
I keep having these dreams that we're moving. Usually, it's not anywhere crazy--just a simple move within the same area. In fact, last night I dreamt that we were moving to a different apartment within the same complex. And I always wake up sort of panicky and then I'm flooded with...

Capable: Stuff & Things 6/18
Life moves quickly. And it's easy for us to get so caught up in our insecurities to remember that we are enough. That we are capable. So I just wanted to take a second to remind you of that today. document.write('');

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.
