Nourished: A Search for Health, Happiness, and a Full Night’s Sleep

With little more knowledge then what the words on the cover offered, I purchased “Nourished” because it was a mother and daughter effort. I got this book to take on a recent cruise; and I got copies for each of my three adult daughters who were joining me. I hoped that the book’s insights would serve our time together – seven days cruising the Caribbean. I hoped that the book would help us return from our journey more motivated to nourish our body, mind, soul and spirit… no matter if we were playing in deep blue seas or back home in our homes in AR, CA, MO, and FL. I wasn’t disappointed because lots of conversation transpired as each daughter (one with five kiddos, one with two teens, and one with a cat) was captivated by the book in different ways because its insights served us in unique ways. It gave insights into the stuff that is stressing us out and messing with our minds. And by way of sensitive and humor stories from their own lives authors, Becky and Rachel, helped us to learn how to make peace with our imperfect bodies and create living spaces to love; then, we learned to get wiser in our relationships, tame demanding schedules and embrace God’s love. In short, Becky and Rachel helped me (and my daughters) to better nourish my body, mind, soul, and spirit… I was delighted that my daughters were inspired to do likewise! <3 :-)

This book is filled with countless nuggets of hope,wisdom, and truth. If we are to nourish those around us, we must be purposeful about nourishing ourselves. This is one of those books I will return to again and again to remind me of what really matters and for reminders of how I can live fully and truly nourished. The mother/daughter co-authorship provided a beautiful contrast in perspectives, which makes their message even more credible and beautiful.

I am so enjoying Nourished! I was at my doctor's office, and let out a laugh that woke up an old gentleman who was snoozing across the room. Mom and daughter’s shared experiences are sweet and encouraging with great ideas, personal stories and visuals that make you feel a part of what you’re reading. Like “We Laugh, We Cry, We Cook”, Becky and Rachel’s latest offering is a homey read, reminiscent of an afternoon chat over hot tea, sugar cubes and lemon wedges. A joy.

I absolutely love the writing that both of these ladies share in this book and other books as well. They each are so relatable, and I feel like I can make so many personal connections with them and their writing. Thank you for another wonderful book ladies! It's a book that I could ready many times and feel so nourished as a woman and a mom. I hope there are many more books to come :)

I greatly enjoyed this book! It is well written and easy to read. I liked that the authors mixed humor in to make this a fun uplifting book.This book is written by a mother and her daughter, which gave an interesting dynamic.

I feel as if I have spent time with people I know and who know me. I had to find pictures of the authors, download the we laugh, we cry, we cook app and buy the two books by Earl Hendlin. It's been a great journey.

This snippet sucked me in and held my captive for the brief time it took to read it and once done- I am forever changed by its message. This book is a gift to oneself!

Really enjoyed this book! It was full of excellent, helpful hints for every day use. Loved getting the mother/daughter vantage points.

I loved every minute of this book ~ the amazing insights shared by Becky and Rachel. I shall read it over and over.
