Dwelling: Simple Ways to Nourish Your Home, Body, and Soul
Dwelling: Simple Ways to Nourish Your Home, Body, and Soul, by Melissa Michaels, is a message about caring for yourself, your home, and the people in your life!
If you, like me, are interested in opening your home to others, inviting people in to build relationships, connecting to people offline and online … this book is so for you. It’s also about cherishing time with your kids, and health-related challenges Melissa has faced.
I couldn’t agree more about finding the beauty in our homes and nature (do you follow me on Instagram? @ReluctantEntertainer), and making our homes a place of peace, comfort, and a welcoming place for ourselves and the people we love.
In fact, I love Melissa’s homebody manifesto!
Initiating Community
“Who knows what might happen or who you might encourage initiating community!” –Melissa Michaels
Now fast forward to the “being the inviter” section in this book. Melissa has a whole chapter on “gathering.” She shares about the benefits of being the initiator (when you’re an introvert like she is), and offers simple ways to host.
You may have already bought Melissa’s book, Simple Gatherings: 50 Ways to Inspire Connection!
Real life connection is where it’s at
When the book arrived, I quickly dove in. When I got to the “gathering” section, I couldn’t agree more with Melissa’s heart on inviting people in to your home, and what it does for your soul.
You are going to love the way that Melissa encourages us to look at our homes, especially her inspiration to use our homes for good. Not to just post pretty pictures on social media, but to actually make that invite!
Real life connections is where it’s at!
Grateful as I am for the beautiful book, I suspect I’ll buy a few copies for gifts, and keep my copy nearby.
Melissa’s reflections, each a kind of mini-memoir, address so many of the themes women wrestle with in our every day lives. Taking care of ourselves (our diet and health), loving and nurturing our families and homes, and creating more sustainable relationships with our loved ones.
Reading this book has sparked my faith!

Beautiful illustrations! Those are the colors I love in my home.
It all looks amazing!
…and I need to give myself more grace!
What a great give-a-way. The book sounds encouraging and inspiring, can’t wait to read.
I’m trying to get more organized (just like the rest of the free world!) and purging items that I only own but never use.
Dwelling, house, casa, abode, cabin, mansion, shack, little house, big house, homestead, domicile, residence….what ever yours is, LOVE it. Make it your own. I love my little house. its just perfect for me. I love to come ‘home’ every day.
I am working on being more present and not just on automatic pilot as I go though my day.
Thanks for such a fun giveaway!
This does look like a beautiful book with great content. Can’t wait to get it!
What a beautiful book and inspiring thoughts! We all need more beauty like this in our lives.
I need to take more time for me. Demands of family & responsibilities sometimes get in the way. Thanks for this opportunity!
Can’t wait to read your new book! Congratulations!
I need this push to be more open to welcoming others into my home.
I want to start doing yoga, healthy eating! Beautiful book!
Meditation each morning and acceptance of my advancing age and determining
what is possible to accomplish that day.
What a beautifully curated collection!
I’ll be moving into a new house later this year, and I’m in desperate need of ideas. I’m an introvert but want my home to be a gathering place for loved ones. Thank you for sharing this!
What a beautiful book…Thanks for sharing…I love your posts too…they are the highlight of many days for me!
I’d like to create a special place in my home where I can have quiet time to write in a journal everyday. A place free of distractions.
Thank you for being a part of this giveaway. My first time on you blog and the recipes look great. I’m going to make the banana bread today.
I agree, blog friends build a community of sharing..thank you! I’ve received a copy of Melissa’s book Dwelling and just got back from a busy trip so I can’t wait to read it as I rest in my favorite spot. A great idea to order more for gifts! Eating and living healthy lives is so important. Since I’ve learned about essential oils (especially Thieves) I have suffered no colds after flights for vacations and such. The brain body relationship is true..feed yourself good things and surrounding yourself with non-toxic things.
Loved the blog today! My first time here! Thank You so much!
I am starting to workout more and focus on self care along with caring for my family
So pretty. Great job
I like to incorporate more meditation into my day.
I love Reluctant Entertainer, you’re gonna be my new friend to go to. A wonderful giveaway , thank you Melissa Michaels
My biggest challenge right now is self-care…doing well physically with that, but the other aspects are lacking.
this looks like such a beautiful, inspiring book – thanks for sharing
