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!

Happy Birthday, Babe!

“Hey girl, it’s me, I just called to tell you hi

Call me when you get this

Haven’t talked lately, so hard to find the time

Give the boys a big kiss

Tell them that I miss them

By the way, I miss you too

I was thinking just today

About how we used to play

Barbie dolls and make-up

Tea parties, dress up

I remember how we’d fight,

make up, and laugh all night

Wish we were kids again

My sister, my friend

Oh yeah, before I forget, I met someone

I think I really like him

I was just wondering if I’m jumping the gun

By going out on a limb

And invite him home for Christmas

To meet the family

Seems like just yesterday

You brought home oh, whats his name

He had been drinkin’

What were you thinkin’

After dinner he passed out

We can laugh about it now

We’ve learned a lot since then

My sister, my friend

Do you think you could come and see me sometime soon?

We could just hang out like we used to

It’s late, and I should go

But I can’t hang up the phone

Until I tell you

What I don’t tell you enough

Even though at times it seemed

We were more like enemies

I’d do it all again

My sister, my friend

Oh my sister, my friend.”
