After more than a year, this page and the blog that spun off of it has gone through an evolution. While maintaining the book reviews, and love of all things literary, this has also become my platform by which I advocate for things about which I feel strongly – mental health, feminism, equality, access to health care and education, and human rights. I am beyond ecstatic that there have been so many people to join in along the way, and as the page has grown, the diversity of interests of you, the reader, has grown as well.
This week, I have unveiled my new logo, and will gradually be updating my blog to reflect this style. Along with these updates, I would like to get to know more about this amazing online community in which I find myself!!
I would love it if you left your tag in the comments, so I could get to know you all better! ❤️
Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
