I am a human, but I was raised by elves! Today, I am celebrating.I am wrapping gifts, I am watching Christmas movies, and totally put mini marshmallows (donated by Ty and Danielle) into my coffee this morning. If I had syrup, I’d probably add syrup to my coffee today! 😉 I am pinching myself. I have come full circle this year – at this time last year, I was a couple of weeks away from Dave being diagnosed with Stage 3 Colorectal Cancer. This year, I am a couple of weeks away from my new job which will allow me to help other families in that situation.
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!
