Michele Marie Neyers was raised amongst the cornfields and the land of 10,000 lakes in her home state of Minnesota and the windswept prairie lands of her adopted state of South Dakota. She graduated from South Dakota State University with degrees in mechanical engineering and engineering physics. After spending 20+ years pursuing a successful career in education technology, she made a decision to shift her focus and energy towards her creative passions. She simply has a passion for creating beautiful things that are useful and useful things that are beautiful. Poetry and writing are that medium. Michele is the creator of Juicy Conscious Living and 1 Beautiful Thing - additional writings, online teachings and programs she is bringing to a worldwide community to support women of all ages to tune in to their inner wisdom and be the pioneers and designers of the lives they were always meant to lead. Michele (along with her cat, Sophie) lives, works, kayaks, and writes near Annapolis, Maryland in a dream house she designed and built with breathtaking views of the water.
