What readers say:
We [Vancouver Ikebana Association] were fortunate to have local lifestyle blogger, Lynda Philippsen, of The Way of Words drop in on our 2015 Spring Show. An excerpt from her article: “…What elegant beauty: evanescence and stillness poised at the intersection of nature, philosophy and art.” Read Lynda’s full eloquently written review here: thewayofwords.com (From the VIA Summer 2015 newsletter #36)
I was reading the review and something about the vocabulary and the sentence structure made me look at the by-line. Well BINGO. If the English is impeccable and the wording enticing, it just HAD to be you. -Mary MacDonald
