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.”
Personal Boundaries for Balance (And some life update chatter)
Well, hello! So, things are going to be shifting and changing here in this space. I really really enjoy writing helpful lifestyle content about productivity, faith, and boundaries--so that won't necessarily be going anywhere. But I literally spend most of my day...
Lost in the Mess
To appease. The definition is very straight forward. Pacify or placate (someone) by acceding to their demands (via google). We've all done it. Sometimes it's just easier to give someone what they want than it is to deal with the backlash. Obviously, there are special...

Remove the Pressure and Wait
I've spent some good time lately with a new friend. And it sort of surprises me how quickly people just become part of our lives as if they've always been there. And tonight, on a spur of the moment walk in the gorgeous weather, I broke down. The tears came out of nowhere, and...

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.
