[Stylist] Lynda McKinney Lambert - Newsletter

Hi Jackie, 
I hope you are doing well. I can't help with everything, but I didn't want to leave you unanswered. 
When I write a piece, I would read it out using my Braille display. It's great that your mother learned to memorize poems, but I most definitely don't think you need to do that if you prefer not to, or find it difficult. If I didn't have access to my Braille display, I would likely record myself reading it in advance, and then present it. I like the Voice Memos app on my iPhone and, although I have not recorded on my computer, I would probably figure out how to do so if I did not have that option. 
Also, I completely understand about the mind not being able to divorce the brain. I'm in a good place for ideas right now, but have been there before, and will more than likely they could run dry at some point. Are you into writing prompts? These can help, but are not always a guarantee. Another thing you could do relating to these images, is write about them. I had about a three-month period where I found it hard to write due to some circumstances. But when I decided to write something more openly about them, I then found it easier to have the space to write other things.

> have just finished listening to your newsletter. I use JAWS for my screen reader, and found the first five minutes very cumbersome to get to the meat of the newsletter. In going through the entire submission, I found it to be quite repetitious. I think this would not be a problem if I had more vision. I could not see your many photos which again was a disadvantage.
> Also, I have wanted to ask this question of so many on our list: You gave all of your books away because you could not read them. How do you then read your poems over radio, and other venues? Do you, and the others who take part in the Sunday night telephone gatherings memorize all of the poems you present? My mother at 96 was able to do this, but many, including myself, am unable to.
> While I have long been inspired by your many words of wisdom, and love your organization of your work, and the sources of inspiration, and your “one word” such as “clarity” for a year, there is no way I can get to where you are in matters of faith.
> In trying recently, I keep coming up with visions of so many people, and young children, trapped under depths of cement block from their building’s collapse, and terrible pain with no hope of water, comfort, hope, or anything until death overtook them. Where was your God?
> I expect rejection for this comment, but I will hope not. It is not that easy to divorce one’s mind and brain.
> I still felt wonderful knowing that you and Bob have a 60 year marriage, and he survived that terrible illness, and that you are still trying new things to further  inspire us.
