The Gratitude Hour – Little Man got to do the car alarm tonight.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to our global neighbours. If you are on the frontline, thank you; if you are an essential worker, thank you; if you are staying home and keeping the curve on the flattening trend, thank you; if you are doing errands for the immunocompromised, thank you; if you are teaching kids from your computers and phones, thank you; if you are making the best of things, thank you; if you are sharing your talents online, to make things easier for the rest of you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Fill your heart with gratitude. Fill your home with gratitude. Fill your town with gratitude. Fill the world with gratitude. It helps.
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!
