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!

Kofi Annan – Rest In Peace

It is common when people of fame and “significance” pass away to see your feed flooded with posts about their lives and our grief for their loss. I am surprised, therefore, to have seen very little about the passing of an impressive statesmen, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and the Secretary General of the UN. Kofi Annan did more to preserve peace, and to create a unified world than nearly anyone else in my lifetime. With grace and patience, and a desire for right, he worked to end the genocide in Rwanda, he worked to contain the spread of HIV in Africa, and tirelessly opposed International Terrorism. I wish to honour him and his work, and thank him for the legacy of peace keeping and globalization that he worked to create. …
