Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

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!

#BelieveHer

Dr Christine Blasey Ford’s Full Testimony (followed by the incoherent rantings of her alleged attacker)

The last couple of weeks have been hard. Hard in the world; hard on my heart; hard in my life. I would like to say that I am so so so strong and never break but it’s not true. Today, I am cracking a tiny bit. Don’t panic, don’t worry, I am ok, but it breaks my heart that there are brave women all over this world, you guys, ALL OVER who are being treated as liars and witches and frauds because they dared to speak their truths. If she says that she has been hurt, BELIEVE HER. Don’t you dare call her a liar. Don’t you dare roll your eyes and switch the channel and pretend you don’t see. Believe the hell out of that woman. You don’t need to know the whole story, you just need to know HER truth. Just listen, and DO NO MORE HARM!!!

Thank you, Dr Blasey Ford for staring them down and standing tall. Thank you. I believe you. ….
