The Turquoise Table: Finding Community and Connection in Your Own Front Yard by Kristin Schell

4.0

"Life at the turquoise table is a multitude of tiny moments, mini-miracles really, strung together like radiant beams of light over the places we call home."

Beautiful inside and out, filled with simple brilliance -- wisdom, poignant real-life stories, recipes, thoughtful questions, activities and tips that remind us of the importance of making deep connections with others. This is often difficult for me as I tend toward the introvert end of the social spectrum. Yet, Kristin's experiences, ideas, and suggestions are not only simple and doable, they are motivating and inspiring!

I devoured this book and was touched by the abundant wisdom in her relatable statements such as "We strive for independence - we fight for it. But we are not meant to live as lone rangers." and the clarification that hospitality should not be confused with entertainment. Instead, hospitality "is always about the people, not the presentation." What a great reminder of the joy that can be found in simplicity.

Open this book to any page and read. You'll come away feeling uplifted, empowered, and inspired.

Turquoise tables multiplying like rabbits. ... "Whodda thunk?"!
