The One L Michele®
Michele’s kids when younger, and Ginger, the lab we rescued
ABOUT MICHELE…
I’m Michele with one L…no 2 LL’s. Just one L. I’m known as The One L Michele®. Or remember this: ‘One L-No Hell.’
Animals: I am an animal lover, especially with dogs, like Labrador Retrievers or Yellow Labradors. Cats are cool too.
Be Happy You’re Here: This site does something no one or no other company has done before. It biologically simply and positively describes and explains male behavior in a way no one has ever done before. It will help out your life. And for some fun and laughs, go to the STORE to purchase one-of-a-kind intellectual property-protected products that according to many, are memorable, cherished…and yes, fun!
A Bit of Background: In California, I attended California State University, Fullerton and then the University of California, Davis where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I received a Juris Doctorate from Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles and wrote on to Law Review. (I got kicked off Law Review because I didn’t keep my grades up. Oh well.) I was married for over 10 years and divorced, but I get along great with my ex. I practiced law handling different legal areas and was a Judge Pro Tem. (I also have Admission to the U.S. Supreme Court.) A big “wow” to many is that I single-handedly got a bench officer removed out of a courthouse to another courthouse in a different city in So. California. Why? Bad ethics. Behavior was my calling.
Another Bit of Background: I have a son and a daughter who are adults. One is a pediatric dentist and the other is a transactional attorney with a focus in sports. They are respected and personally and professionally happy. They love and respect me. (They told me that.)
Behavior is my expertise. The former Chief of Pediatrics for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where doctors and movie stars go, told me this rare compliment: “Michele, you did an exceptional job raising your children.” The doctor’s nurses said they had never heard him say that before to any parent. And finally, for the last several years, I’ve been a caregiver for my elderly mom; my kind fun father unfortunately long gone.
The Big Bit: Many years ago, I kept asking why men are always in the news. I asked why girls and women around the globe usually lacked the equality and equity so deserved. I wanted boys to be nurtured and loved how I raised my own son to be emotionally happy and healthy. I asked how women can find “good men.” I asked, “Who are these “good men?” I asked how I could get more men to be happy and express their emotions. Question after question I asked myself. I decided to do something about it, so I stopped practicing law. It turns out that I figured out something that no one else has done before about male behavior to help everyone out. I figured out something that women MD’s and RN’s say is “biologically brilliant.”
So, stick around for fun, hope, and humor for some happiness.
One Last Bit: A good ego with acts of goodness helps a person live a happier and healthier life. It helps others too. People trust people more with good kind egos. Regardless of your name, pedigree or legacy, or your shoe size, height, hair color, eye color or culture, ethnicity, or who your partner is, please remember this:
Acts of goodness, kindness, compassion, tolerance, integrity, humility, empathy, and civility counts.

“We: A Manifesto for Women Everywhere, a book published in March 2017 by Atria Books/Simon & Schuster, two women authors, Gillian Anderson and Jennifer Nadel offer a ‘call to action’ for women everywhere. We explores nine principles: Honesty, Acceptance, Courage, Trust, Humility, Peace, Love, Joy and Kindness. These nine principles serve as a compass for women seeking direction. Without them, life can feel like a losing battle, they write. When you’ve learned to incorporate them into your life, you’ll be able to live from a place of authenticity and love wherever you find yourself and whatever has happened in your past.”
