2019 Came In Like A Wrecking Ball

HELLO INSTAWORLD!!! I am FREEEE! What do you call a year that sees your husband diagnosed with Stage 3 Cancer, your family and chosen family suffer from ALL. THE. STUFF., and just when you think you’ve rounded the corner… you lose your flipping job!?!? HEY! It’s 2019, baby! This year there has been no waiting for the other shoe to drop, it has been raining fracking shoes all year! Why dodge them suckers? They’re coming whether you dodge them or not… so what do we do??? We pour some wine, learn how to make a Seth Rogan and Snoop Dogg special, yoga all the time, and listen to Christmas carols all. Damn. Day. And most definitely start counting down to 2020.

My sister offered me this affirmation on Sunday, and I have whole heartedly accepted it. To the point that this is my lock screen – which we have determined is both inspirational and pretty darn aggressive!

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!
