Since 1997, Michele has taken the seemingly ordinary events of life and turned them into practical spiritual applications, first in her weekly newspaper column, and then in her daily radio program, both titled God, Me, and a Cup of Tea. Her column currently appears in the Indiana Gazette.
Michele’s two books, Minute Meditations: Meeting God in Everyday Experiences, and I Lift Up My Eyes: Minute Meditations Vol. 2 are compilations of her columns and have been sold nationwide.
Michele’s radio program, God, Me, and a Cup of Tea is currently broadcast daily, Monday through Friday, on WMUG 105.1 LF/FM, Indiana, Pa., and has aired on stations in DuBois, Pa., Augusta, Ga., and Huntsville, Ala. In addition, she has produced three CDs of meditations from the radio program: God, Me & a Cup of Tea: Favorite Meditations (2004), The Ten Commandments and Beatitudes for Today (2005), and Treasures in Jars of Clay: Thoughts on Aging with Grace (2006).
As an inspirational speaker, Michele brings the same humor and poignancy to dinners, women’s retreats and seminars, and community events. She also teaches workshops at writers’ and speakers’ conferences, and is listed with FindChristianSpeakers.com and St. Davids Christian Writers’ Association speakers’ bureaus.
Michele’s work has appeared in numerous national publications, including Guideposts, Home Life, and Teachers in Focus, as well as several anthologies, including Chicken Soup for the Christian Family Soul and One Year Life Verse Devotional. She contributes a regular meditation column to The Upper Case, the St. Davids Christian Writers Association newsletter and writes devotionals on assignment.
A former newspaper feature writer, photographer, reporter, columnist, and editor, Michele is member of St. Davids Christian Writers’ Association Board of Directors and Advanced Speakers and Writers Association. A former English teacher, she was selected for Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers (2004-2006), has a passion for teaching, and currently mentors developing writers for The Writing Academy, Jerry B. Jenkins Christian Writers’ Guild and ChristianFictionMentors.com.
Michele and her husband, Dean, live in western Pennsylvania and have three grown children and five grandchildren.
