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.”
Boundaries: 3 Signs You Need Them
It was late summer 2017. My heart was pulsing so hard in my throat I thought it might choke me. You need to take a break, my best friend said to me on the phone. She was using her former retail manager voice, and my instincts said to obey. But I knew I couldn’t....
It’s Coffee Time
Julep Vicki Essie Beyond Cozy Good morning, friends. I'm so thankful Friday is here! It's been one heck of a week, and I am so terribly looking forward to just crashing on my couch the moment I walk in the door. Some days I feel like Okay, I've got this. But most of this last...
Stuff & Things 4/30
It's almost like two "in real time" posts in one day. This won't go live until midnight, but I'm finally just sitting down for the first time all day at nearly 10PM. I'm...exhausted. If we're friends on Fitbit you know I've been kicking some ass lately. Sorry not sorry....
Shifting Gears & Cruising…
It's 6:30AM. I've got my coffee and tired eyes. Yesterday was a busy day, and I didn't manage to fall asleep until after midnight. But I got to thinking over the last few days. I miss blogging. The old blogging. The momentary snapshot into someone's life, into their...
Taking Off the Mask
What mask are you wearing? Your initial answer would probably be "none." Right? We all like to think we are being 100% ourselves. That nothing is holding us back. That we're not hiding behind anything. But the longer I sat and thought about the question, I realized I...
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.
