Passenger airplane taking off at sunset Many of my friends have hobbies, from pickleball, making quilts, binge watching (is that a hobby?) gourmet cooking, baking, and reading. I enjoy all these activities but one hobby I especially enjoy is talking to the person that sits next to me on an airplane. I was curious if my activity is actually considered a hobby and it turns out it is! A hobby...
by Marianne Clyde Why can't I make the money I want? Why is our non-profit ineffective? Why can't I write that book? Why is my relationship stagnant? Why don't I have more friends? Why does everyone else seem to have a fascinating life and mine is so boring? Whenever I find myself asking these kind of questions, the answer comes back to me loud and clear. Who is going to fix it? What do you...
by Lorna Martinez Magill As we age, it's important to stay active and engaged in social activities. Not only does it keep the mind and body active, but it also provides an opportunity to connect with others and build meaningful relationships. I personally love social activities and find many ways to engage with my friends to help maintain and foster my relationships. Yes, it takes effort,...
By Lorna Martinez Magill Today started just like any other day. I automatically woke up at 4:00 a.m. and although I typically jump out of bed today, I decided I was going to ease into my day. I looked up a YouTube video on meditation and settled for a 10-minute video on having a peaceful day. I read about 10 pages in The Hotel Nantucket, an Erin Hilderbrand book I’m currently reading, scanned...
We all know what we need to do to lose weight. Eat less, exercise, drink more water, sleep enough, and eat “real” food. Yes, there are other areas that we can consider such as number of calories consumed, tracking macros and protein intake to name a few, but the bottom line is eat less food, eat food that is good for you, get your tush off the couch, and drink water. So why is it so hard? I am...
I have FINALLY decided to get serious about my weight loss. I gained 20 pounds since COVID, and I just can’t seem to get back to a healthy weight. At Isn’t She Amazing, we focus on taking the first step to implement a change or achieve a specific personal outcome, so I started to think, “Lorna you need to be serious about this next step and you need to just take it.” I’ll start with a short...
Life transitions can be hard so it’s important to surround yourself with positive and supportive people. I discovered this was the case when I had the trifecta of life transitions, I resigned from my job, my youngest son graduated from college and my husband had some major health conditions that caused him to retire earlier than planned. This time ranks as one of the most challenging times of my...
I have a mental bucket list that I check off in my head when I do something I’ve always wanted to do. I know, I know it’s better to write down your list but I really have too many lists as it is and I’ll likely misplace it in the piles of paper I always seem to have. So, I keep it in my head! Anyway, jumping out of an airplane (or skydiving as most people say) is something I always wanted to do...
A couple of weeks ago I was running errands and decided I needed a new wreath for my front door. I was near Target and stopped to look, but no luck so off I went to Home Goods. If you are anything like me, you could spend hours in either store browsing through the isles looking for something “You just can’t live without”. I’m sifting through the wreaths, and I get a phone call,...
Well, we’ve made it to week two of assessing and adjusting our eating habits. I like this terminology better than dieting since it sounds more life altering. My accountability partner and I are determined to stop the yo yo weight and make this a life change. So, how’s it going up until this point? Let me back track a bit. She and I both had prior success with Weight Watchers, but we don’t have...
