Kristin Schell is a popular public speaker and blogger who is especially passionate about the topics of food, faith and hospitality.

Her readers have since been inspired to follow suit, setting up turquoise tables in their own front yards. Kristin has authored a book titled The Turquoise Table: Finding Connection and Community in Your Own Front Yard, and travels the country encouraging audiences to open their lives and homes to others. She resides in Austin, Texas, with her husband, Tony, and their four children.

Going on a Mission in Your Own Front Yard

For Kristin Schell, author of The Turquoise Table, loving her neighbor started simply in her front yard, and now the Turquoise Table Movement has spread around the world with thousands of turquoise tables everywhere. It’s a reminder that loving your neighbor begins with knowing their name.
