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!

Grateful to have been “re-directed” to your blog from The Inspired Room. I regularly visited here (and there) some years ago, but my window for discretionary online time closed to but a crack. Recently a little more space has been afforded to me. I had forgotten there would be welcome here for me, and I’m delighted to renew your acquaintance. :-) Thanks for sharing your space.
Thanks for the review and for the chance to win this amazing prize.
I’m moving soon and plan on trying some new ideas to make my new home the most welcoming and comfortable yet.
I like having a designated area just for myself to have “me” time
My health and peace changes: I don’t let toxic people upset me anymore; I learned to say no; I quit being in bondage to a “diet” – I just make real food choices – I’m not “counting” anything (calories, fat, etc.); I started walking for exercise 5 days a week.
Thanks for the heads up about this book and your recipes look amazing!
Thank you for your post. I have the book and am looking forward to reading it soon.
In the middle of decluttering and paint down items in my home for a more peaceful atmosphere, would love to read.
Thanks for the review. Sounds like a good read.
We’ve made a point to practice hospitality in our home – so important!
Real life connections are so important. Thank you for the reminder.
Spring is a time of renewal for our spirits. This would be a great jump start!
As an introvert inviting in is also hard for me. I would like to learn from this book and package. The BBQ chicken salad on your site also looks great!
Your blog looks amazing.
I believe home can be heaven on earth…but it’s hard work.
So lovely! Thanks for the opportunity! ?
I have been following you, from back in the day, and learning so much, would love to win!
I found your blog through theinspiredroom :)
It’s beautiful looking forward to more!
Would love to win
I am trying to organize my home and paint with calming colors
Beautiful! Thank you, Sandy ☀️
Nice selection.
This book looks wonderful!
What a challenge! I’m trying to use better judgment in several areas of my life. Your posts are lovely.
