Dr. Norris J. Chumley Satisfied Life

As a prelude to Thanksgiving, I’d like to revisit this recipe, that may be a delicious prelude to your Thanksgiving menu this year. ——- The word for “corn” is “succotash” from the native language of the Narragansett Indians. Originally from their word, msiquatash (broken pieces), succotash has become known as a mixture of different vegetables,…

I had lunch at a really sweet cafe yesterday. The food was great, service fast and friendly. The place was pretty crowded, though, as others must have agreed that it was great. So we had to sit fairly close to another table. We sat next to two businessmen; it was like we were at the…

My wonderful wife, Catherine Stine, author and book blogger herself, loves to watch TV shows where women talk. A big fan of “The View” for years, she’s now also into “The Talk.” Frankly, I’m not so talkative or into hearing people chat and chew on the tube. Yesterday, though, Kelly Osborne talking about her 50…

Yes we have all heard the terms easy diet, easy weight loss, quick weight loss, etc., etc. Don’t believe it! There is no such thing as losing weight effortlessly or easily.

This is a really interesting, and helpful book that I wrote about earlier this year.  I want to bring it to your attention again, in case you have not read it. “How do people, whose hearts and minds have been wounded by violence, come to feel and know the redemptive power of God’s grace?”  That is the…

I’ve always said that you don’t have to work out at the gym all day in order to control your weight. All you need is a minimum of 30 minutes a day filled with consistent, moderate movement or activity. And it doesn’t have to be hard.  Consistency is the key. 60 minutes is the ultimate…

Tell the truth today, as much as possible, in every instance. Say what you’re really feeling and thinking — unless it would actually hurt someone for them to hear it. If you find it hard to reveal your true thoughts, at least start by being totally real to yourself.  Tell yourself exactly what you think…

I had lunch the other day with my dear friend, and colleague, Dr. Harville Hendrix, author (with his wife Helen LaKelly Hunt) of “Getting the Love You Want.”  That’s a classic bestselling book that “can save your marriage,” according to Oprah. Dr. Hendrix and I were talking about anxiety, and why people have it.  He…

It’s Veteran’s Day in the US, a day that we honor and celebrate those who serve in the military and protect our country, and sometimes the world. Today, though, I am thinking about the military and war, and how it is so sad that we have to be involved in war at all. Too much…
