Wanna know a secret? I am not a morning person. Seriously. My favourite thing to do is to roll over and go back to sleep until the sun is over the yardarm. I enjoy the quiet of night too much to then also enjoy the quiet of morning. There is something ridiculously delicious about snuggling further into my quilt and going back to sleep.
…
Unfortunately, getting ahead while keeping my head has required a shift in habits. I have discovered that waking up earlier has allowed me to get to work without being Monster Mom, who is yelling and rushing out the door, forgetting things. I know this because when I don’t do this, I feel stressed and forget things. For example… going to work without my purse yesterday… not cool. To quote Eleanor Roosevelt “It takes as much time to wish as to plan”. … So here I sit, drinking coffee from my Dory Mug and instead of getting caught up, I am planning ahead.

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!
