About Me

Hi, I’m Krista.

Strategic communicator and storyteller.

I am the wife of a very talented musician who takes me around the world in pursuit of excellence. Mama to Jakob, Audrey and Ella, who just happens to have Down Syndrome.
And an aspiring disciple of Jesus, defender of the oppressed, writer, graphic designer and photographer.

I write and speak on navigating through the fog of life…you know, when things don’t go exactly as planned and am fuelled by a passion to amplify the voices of those on the margins…
oh, and coffee…lots of coffee.

Happy Earth Day Everyone!

Truth be told, in a perfect world, every day would be earth day. Our connection to earth is so much more profound than I suspect, many would assume but once you start to make yourself aware of what an integral part each species, plant and human play in the cycle of life, it is hard to turn a blind eye. It is my desire to raise my children with this same awareness: to look at a tree and see it not only as a climbing apparatus but God’s creation. Currently, I am reading a book called Planted: A story of Creation, Calling and Community and it is completely inspiring. Leah Kostamo draws you in with humour, humility and honesty as she tells the story of A Rocha’s beginnings in Canada. To celebrate Earth Day, this wonderful book is on sale. It is available in both print and kindle edition.
