[stylist] bios and cover letters

[Lynda Lambert]

Yes, I believe we have to be held to the highest standards in what we do and 
that does not have anything to do with any physical problem we have.  I 
don't disclose my bladder surgery, my bout with cancer, or my age, and there 
is absolutely no difference - a disability or a physical problem has nothing 
to do with my writing and art skills, my education, or my creative 
abilities. Lynda
