Repost • @mrdavehollis I’m a total weirdo and I’m here for it. When I started embracing being who I am rather than who I thought I needed to be, an entire world of impact and fulfillment opened up in front of me. Hear this: The world needs you and all your special, freaky, nerdy, unique weirdness. Don’t give ‘em what you think “they” want, give them YOU — you were made with a totally unique set of attributes that makes you unlike anyone else and exactly what this world needs. Tell me one weird thing about you below 👇🏼👇🏼 that makes you awesome.

I’ll go first: I’ve moved the same 17 boxes of baseball cards from house to house five times over the last 20 years. Once a year I get all excited about sorting through them and I make a huge mess and three days later pack them up until next year when I forget that there’s no point in going through them again. It’s my jam. I am weird.

Thanks to @selenaashley_designs for the rad quote card from Girl, Stop Apologizing. Book club continues today as we talk about going all in on one big dream.
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!
