Lynda’s Bio – The Core of Who I Am

Lynda McKinney Lambert - American Author Posted on by

 

For the past couple of weeks I thought about updating my bio that appears with my poems and stories. It seemed  like it would be easy to do, doesn’t it?  After all, I am the author so I should be able to write a short bio, right?

 

 

 

I finally arrived at the finished bio. Here’s my finished product!

I’d love to know what you think about my new bio. Your comments are cherished here.

 

My Bio: June 26, 2023

 

Lynda McKinney Lambert has been an artist, teacher, and author for most of her life.

She taught studio art, English literature, and art history at Geneva College, Beaver Falls, PA.  Her annual summer course, “Drawing and Writing in Salzburg, Austria,” took her to Europe each year.

Her first public art exhibit was in 1976. Her award-winning art is in private and public collections.

Lynda’s extensive writing career began in 1980. She currently has five published books available at Amazon and other booksellers. Lynda launched, “Walking by Inner Vision Blog” December 2009.

She tends her flower gardens, walks her two dogs, cares for her six cats. She married Bob in 1961.  They have five children, seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.Most family members arrive every year for Christmas Day together.

 


“I experience joy when I am in my sacred space with God. (AKA, my fiber art studio in the upstairs of our home.)  I love to read from my Mom’s King James Bible. The fourth watch of the night is my special time for praying and seeking wisdom for the new day. This is the core of who I am.”                                     ~Lynda McKinney Lambert, 2023.

 

 

   My MISSION STATEMENT

  • I reveal what is forgotten, lost, or invisible through my art and writing.

  • For faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.               (Hebrews 11:1)

Lynda’s Bio – The Core of Who I Am — 8 Comments

  1. You did an excellent job writing your bio, Lynda. I could not condense my life into a short summary (besides it wouldn’t be nearly as interesting as yours!)
    I look forward to each of your posts. I especially loved last years “word” – evergreen. It seemed so appropriate.
    Thanks for sharing.

    • Thanks so much!
      I’ve been on a revision binge with my bio. lol
      Today I worked on one that is about 160 words an I will post that one also.
      Updating the bio is important – so it is good to have 2 or 3 of different lengths, according to what need may come up. It’s kind of fun.

  2. I most appreciate the piece you have in the grey box and mission statement. It takes courage to invite readers to make comments on your bio. Kudos for your brave move.

    Would love to see your experience in Austria included in your rich bio.

    Keep sharing the light you were meant to bring to our world!

    • I appreciate you comments and suggestions so much, Christina. It’s hard to condense a career of nearly 50 years into a short bio. This just briefly touches a few key elements, I know. Thanks.

  3. I think it’s great, Lynda. Yes, it is really difficult to know what to put in a bio. You want to give as much information as possible but at the same time keep is as compact as possible. I think you have created a good balance.

    • Thank you so very much for your visit and your comments. Yes! I agree with you – this is just a very little snippet of a photo, but you are so right. It has to be concise – and I am a tweaker. Endlessly revising. lol I always enjoy reading your articles – you have such a rich history of writings on your blog.

      • You are welcome, Lynda. I am like you, constantly revising–seems like there is no end to it.
        Thank you for the compliment on my blog. I haven’t written anything new for a long time. I had pretty much of a stagnant time for a couple of years, but I’m back at writing books again. I just published another one last week and am working towards finishing another. I will be a while yet getting this one finished. Then I have another started, but that one will require a lot of work to get it to the publishing stage.

        • I am so happy to hear this, Diane. I have taken the summer off from posting so much – just doing one piece on Saturdays, over the summer. I am working on a collection of poetry (Garden Songs) for publication – next year. And, I am beginning work on a memoir. I got a copy of the book, “Old Friend from Far Away,”by Natalie Goldberg. I am going to work my way through that book – very slowly. I saw in this book many things I wanted to do in my own book – no chronology, rather, slices of life which are multi-layered – as life really is. Summer is busy for me because I have a lot of outside work to do in the flower gardens, and maintenance projects on the house and studio and property. I am working at finding balance in it all – best of everything to you in your new adventures. Lynda
