Sylvia Hoehns Wright: A Path Worn Smooth

By NWHP admin on March 15th, 2011

Sylvia Hoehns Wright is a consultant, lecturer & wordsmith that specializes in business, environmental and communications theories.

She has been the recipient of the 2008 Turn America from Eco-weak to Eco-chic Award and the 2005 VA Horticulture Foundation faculty travel award. Wright is an avid landscape gardener and conducts eco-gardening workshops and was featured by VA Home Grown WCVE Richmond PBS TV and Birds & Blooms magazine for her eco-strategies.

As a communications specialist, she is published by environmental, lifestyle and business magazines, conducts PR communication workshops and teaches adult education nonfiction writing classes. Because of her past experiences, she felt that it was high time to publish her first book.

Her first book, A Path Worn Smooth,is dedicated to the people of Wright’s hometown community, in the Laurel Historic District of Virginia. Wright wants readers to walk on a path worn smooth by generational expectation. Savor nostalgia for the places that are near and dear to her heart, recall family traditions and more importantly, renew experiences. Challenging all to celebrate heritage because it’s more than a possession, it is a gift; the birthright of our children. It’s a great book if you want an invigorating read on the beach or to give as a gift to your mother, grandmother or daughter.
