My Weekend in Pictures: The Good Old Hockey Game

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.

Despite the fact that I was devastated to move to Edmonton, I have to admit that it has definitely been a cultural experience and one I am glad to have had at that. You see,

I am Canadian.

I will buy almost anything with a Canadian flag on it. My favourite store is Roots, my favourite band is Great Big Sea, I love Sarah Harmer and I count Margaret Atwood and Chris Hadfield as two of the people I would most like to meet…okay, I’ve met Margaret Atwood, but it would be great to have an actual conversation with her.

Being in Edmonton has created the opportunity to do things that the rest of the world deems truly Canadian. This weekend was no exception. Jakob had an outdoor hockey tournament. Aside from Friday, when it was too warm to play on the outdoor rink, it was hockey, hockey and more hockey.
