Luscious Living Blog by Kim McMechan

So here’s the truth:  The reason I haven’t posted in such a LONG LONG TIME is because…. Well, it’s sort of embarassing. 

I launched this site last fall, and within weeks, I had clients coming out of my ears.  It was wonderful.  I paid off the web design guy, I paid off my promo costs, I even made enough money to buy myself a  lovely digital SLR camera. 

And quickly became very obsessed.   With the camera, that is.

I started taking pictures of all the kids at my daughter’s school.  And because I love it when people love a photograph I have taken, when they smile and say thank you so much, and because prints are so inexpensive, I began giving all the photos away to the parents of said kids. 

And before I knew it, I had a business on my hands.  A business that is more fun than I thought possible. 

 So I’m here to say that I am still taking coaching clients.  Just not so many.  

 And also, that if you are from the Okanagan, I would love to take pictures of your kids or your family, or even your dog.

In other news……

I am finally almost done the record I have been piecing together for nearly a year.  The production contracts have been signed, and I’m extatic that I will soon be releasing another album!  As Lionel Richie likes to say….Oh, what a feeling!

And as many of you know, I’ve been doing freelance writing for awhile now, and my latest column is posted HERE if you care to read.

 Anyway dear ones….. Thanks for stopping by so faithfully.  I think I will be HERE a little more these days, and also HERE.  I would love to hear from you, if you feel like dropping me a line. 

 Warm Wishes….

Happy summer, dear ones.

 Yes, it’s been so terribly long.

If you are ever looking for me and I’m not here, I’m often HERE.

 But these days, I have actually been away, or at the very least, not at my computer.  The summer has been filled with long beach days, road trips and music.  The highlight, I think, was an hour and a half of morning yoga on a bluff overlooking the sea, where I literally laughed out loud as a bald eagle circled above me.  One of life’s most exquisite moments.  The low point was definitely my attempt to take my 2 kids, alone, to the Vancouver aquarium, which I implore you NEVER to do.  But regardless, as August unwinds, I find myself trying to suck the marrow of out of its last sweet days.

 So I wanted to tell you about a few things I’ve recently fallen in love with:

For all you photography junkies out there like myself, this site will come as a lovely treat for you.  It’s a gathering of women, some mothers, some not, who chronicle their lives through photography and post them here. 

And this reminds me to tell you about a great photography posting site called FLICKR where you can set up your photographs and network with other photographers, and it’s all free.  I’m totally LOVING it.

 Also, I am trying very hard not to go HERE every day to see what Katherine Newman has posted, since reading her lovely little book this summer and found myself, towards the end of it feeling so so sad that it was going to be over.  You know those books?  Sigh.

 Now if you’ll excuse me, for some reason there is dried pee on my bed and I’m off to find out why and figure out whether or not I can cram a whole queen sized duvet into our regular sized washing machine…
