    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.

A little belated love…

February 16, 2011

I’ve never been one for Valentine’s Day. It sits somewhere between Mother’s Day and our anniversary and the expectation just doesn’t sit well with me. Because inevitably there will be expectations, as much as I try not to have them, and if they are not met, a dark cloud lingers and just kinda ruins a perfectly, otherwise normal day.
What we have taken to doing is celebrating on a different day. I often will just pick a good day and label it in honour of whatever occasion is closest. This year was no exception and we went out on Sunday instead. It was down played perfection. Dinner at the Tea house.
On Monday however, we did celebrate pint-sized love and decorated cookies with friends. Nothing says Valentine’s like Red food colouring overdose.

And because I have never been very good at PDA (physical or written) I’ll just say that I am so thankful for all the loves of my life.

Happy Belated Love Day!
