Juel has been writing since she was a youngster.  Her earliest efforts included serving as Editor-In-Chief on her high school newspaper and writing with different college publications. She has a bachelor’s degree in English from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. 

Because of God’s prompting she started blogging in 2010 and now has four active blogs.  The first blog is a weekly spiritual devotional blog.  The second is a travel blog.  The third is a walking blog about raising funds for HOPE worldwide. The fourth is a writer’s blog.

Her first book was published in June 2020, “Lives of a Gem! God’s Treasured Possession”. This book published in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic is an inspirational and transparent memoir about how God walked her through spiritual and physical life challenges. 

She is a thirty-seven-year government retiree. During that span, she worked with the Internal Revenue, the Veterans Administration Hospital, and the Navy Finance Department.  She is also a seventeen-year travel agent retiree.  In addition, she is a five-year retired Weight Watchers Leader.  

Her love of public speaking materialized due to Toastmasters.  She has had numerous teaching and speaking assignments with the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, with the government, in the travel industry and as a Weight Watchers Leader. She has been married forty-six years, has two adult children, and two grandchildren.

Her focus is to do all for His glory, live His schedule and pray Big!
