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.”
Inch by inch: Boundaries for opinions
There's a tattoo that I've been considering for a while. It'll be small, and it'll live on my right wrist. My husband, who is not a fan of tattoos, has pressed in hard with the questions. I have my reasons I've said over and over any time he's asked. You'll think it's...

How a Pot Made Me Rethink My Life
When we got married, we were gifted a massive pot. I mean massive. 20 quarts. I knew what it was for, but it sort of seemed like a waste. Over the last almost five years, it's mostly been a project just to find a place to store it. I've used it as storage....

How to fool yourself into thinking you have your life together when you don’t.
As Kristin so carefully pointed out last week, my life did a 180 of sorts in the last few months. And it's no secret that I don't have it all together. Far from it, in fact. If there's ever been a time in my life when I've had it together less, I probably would just be laying in...
HI, I'M JOEY
Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.

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.
