Do you know the difference between wasting time and time well wasted? Time well wasted is when you decide that you will sit in your comfy chair and scroll through insta for 20 mins, or read a book, or sit outside with your coffee and your thoughts. You are not being productive, but you are engaging in self care and this is never a waste of time. Wasting time is what is included in this list – these are things that you do not particularly enjoy, that have no value and that do not further your life or happiness in any respect. …
Do you waste your time on any of these? I know that I am guilty of trying to solve people’s problems, doing things to make others happy that do not make me happy at all, trying to “win” conversations, just because I want to be the “most right”, complaining about things that if I spent time fixing would no longer be an issue. …
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!
