About Me

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.

Some men see things as they are and ask “Why?” I dream things that never were and ask “Why not?”

This is one of my favourite pictures of myself. It was take in Aldeburgh, UK. I felt such peace on this beach. The ocean is home.

Hi Friend. My name is Krista and this is where I write about family, faith and dis/abilities.

Life rarely turns out as we had pictured, and certainly not as we had hoped. And yet, through the fog of disappointment a light shines and the light is beautiful. I write about navigating through the fog and finding the light. It’s a rough world out there. I know because I’m in it – calling out from the trenches.

I am the wife of a musician. This could be the subject of a blog in and of itself. My husband, Ben, is a Choral Conductor (that is conductor of choirs) and we currently live in England, where he is a Music Minister and I work as the Communications lead for the National Ministry Team of the Church England.

I am the mother of three beautiful children – Jakob, my feisty and courageously independent just-turned-teenager, Ella, my beautiful and ridiculously charismatic eleven-year-old who just happens to be blessed with an extra chromosome and Audrey, my baby who reminds me daily to slow down and take time for the more important things in life. And I am follower of Jesus Christ, fumbling daily through faith in pursuit of holiness.

Food is my love language and jazz is my soul language. I enjoy photography, dancing (think more ballet and less disco) and am seriously addicted to coffee. I am passionate about amplifying the voices of those on the margins and about finding the beauty in the everyday.
