Tips for Introverts Who Want to Love Their Neighbors

“How do I love my neighbors when I’m an introvert?” This is one of the most frequent questions I’m asked.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
