Who is the other Kathy McGraw

There are several Kathy McGraw's online. This is a short description of who this Kathy McGraw is.

Who is Kathy McGraw

Besides a Writer, Photographer, and Basically Just a Down to Earth Person

 Hello, I am Kathy McGraw, well at least one of the Kathy McGraw's online.  I found out there are several, so this will tell you a little about who I am. 

One thing I don't enjoy is writing about myself in the first person.  Seriously, it's not my favorite type of thing to write, but I did write about the different puzzle pieces of who I am when I first started writing on Squidoo in November of 2008.  Instead of re-writing the same things, here is a link to my Squidoo page where I actually told about some of the most important parts of who I am, Putting the Puzzle Together: Who is Kathy McGraw. 

Writing Online and Off

California Real Estate and Life and Other Writings

Kathy McGrawI love to write.  For years I wrote in journals, and no piece of paper, or pen, was ever safe from my doodling as I tried to compose my thoughts into words. Short stories, poems, and plays are some of the things I would write for pleasure.

 

Grant writing, job descriptions, and other more professional things weren't always as fun to write, but they were things I was proud of once finished.  Now my professional writing is on my Real Estate Blog  .  I'm a bit embarrassed to say I don't write on it much anymore after I found the writing platform Squidoo.  I write a wide variety of things, and now am starting to write here on Wizzley.

Photography is my all time favorite activity

besides writing

I love taking photos, whether with a professional camera, or just a point and shoot.  Almost all the photos on my blogs or other writings are my own, except for certain product reviews where I will use the manufacturers photo.

The one type of photography I don't like is taking pictures of people.  Don't we all know someone that hates their picture being taken, or is never satisfied with the picture?  So, you will never see me with posed pictures.  Candid ones yes, but not posed. Actually most of my pictures are of things, or places.  I love to capture a photo of something that others might not see like a spider on a web, or a dewdrop on a blade of grass.  Here is link to a few of my photos with some basic photo tips.

 

Kathy's Journey of Being Isn't Over

My life has been an interesting journey, but no matter whether times were tough, or everything was wonderful, I am who I am because of all my experiences. I'm not sure what the next part of my journey will be, but whatever it is I am sure I will write about it.

I hope you learned a little of who I am. The link to the Puzzle of Kathy McGraw tells about being a Foster Mother, Veteran, and a bit more, but this was a brief overview.  Thank you for taking the time to read, and if you feel so inclined, comments are always welcome :)

Thank you all for the comments, and now that you know a little about me, I hope we continue to meet online ;)

Hi Kathy, great to see you here as well and good to ready this Wizzley page. So far this platform seems great, though I haven't had a chance to write much yet. Looking forward to being a little more active here. I'm sure I'll see you around...all the best! :)

I knew we were kindred spirits the first time I saw your puzzle pieces.

Wishing you all the success in the next leg of your journey, Kathy, especially in Wizzley.

It's always good to learn a little more about each other online. You have an interesting life!

Nice to meet you, Kathy McGraw!

Susan52Jun 2, 2011

I'm anxious to continue reading about your journey as you photograph and write about it, as it happens!

AJJun 2, 2011

It's great to see you on Wizzley Kathy :)

RamkittenMay 31, 2011

I'm glad to know THIS Kathy McGraw.

KathyMcGrawMay 30, 2011

What a nice way to start my day...reading the comments. Thank you...and nice to know that "this" Kathy McGraw has so many wonderful wonderful people that I have come to respect and read.

petuniaMay 30, 2011

Kathy, your photos are beautiful and I always enjoy your writing!

dustytoesMay 30, 2011

No matter what your name is, there is only one YOU! Your photos are beauties - nice to see you and learn more about you too.

WordCustardMay 30, 2011

Kathy, for us you will never be "the other" Kathy McGraw, there is only one as far as I'm concerned in any case! :) A wonderful introduction to your writing and photography and a gorgeous selection of photos. Like you, I've loved to write all my life, and though I have always taken snapshots I'm beginning to get serious about photography too, inspired by people like you and Kim.

KathyMcGrawMay 30, 2011

Mouse...you make me laugh...don't you notice this picture is 1/2 in shadow :)

Thank you all for the comments on the photos....and about being creative.

JoyfulPamelaMay 29, 2011

You are so creative with your photo surrounded by colorful puzzle pieces! You actually look a lot like a friend of mine named Cathy (with a C). : )

SylvestermouseMay 29, 2011

I hate to have my picture taken too! Thus the reason you see a blue mouse :) I think it is quite interesting that we both love to take pictures, but we hate to be photographed. I give you huge props for using a real photo of yourself as your avatar. You are a braver woman than I, or perhaps just better looking!

JewelsofaweMay 29, 2011

I love your photography! I enjoyed this page also!

MicheyMay 29, 2011

Kathy you really shot great photos, this talent will be very useful for your next adventures with this platform. I enjoy to know you better, and I am glad we meet again on this platform.
All the best

DianneMay 29, 2011

Nice to "meet" you on Wizzley, Kathy.

KathyMcGrawMay 29, 2011

Thank you to everyone for the welcome and the words...don't want to fill this section up with my photo answering everyone individually LOL....that's way too many Kathy McGraw's in such a small space :)

mbgphotoMay 29, 2011

Nice to get to know you Kathy!

GuestMay 29, 2011

I also love taking photos, although I don't do it anywhere near as often as I would like. Thanks for adding more pieces of the puzzle.

mandeesearsMay 29, 2011

Here's to more adventures Kathy -- You make the most of them!

makingamarkMay 29, 2011

Now I didn't know you were a photographer! I'm off to take a peek at your pics.

flipflopnanaMay 29, 2011

Hi Kathy, I enjoyed learning a bit more about you and it's great to see you here!

SquidRichMay 29, 2011

No mention of those little blue creatures? LOL! Great to see you here, Kathy :)

KathyMcGrawMay 29, 2011

Hi Spook...ahh your wife is a woman after my own heart...I don't like anyone taking my picture, and have been embarrassed many times :) Thanks for reading :)

SpookMay 29, 2011

Delighted to learn more about you. My wife is one of those people who can't bear to be photographed either. Very difficult to get a snap of her.

KathyMcGrawMay 29, 2011

Thanks Paul....and yep, I am the only one of all the Kathy McGraw's on Squidoo and Wizzley :)

pkmcrMay 29, 2011
