How is this my life???? I am so lucky it’s not even funny!! I will be fangirling over this for weeks.
If you know me, you know that the Barenaked Ladies are my favourite band. Trendy bands come and go, but BNL is forever. Through the 11 weeks of quarantine, they have been entertaining anyone with a social media account or access to YouTube with little performances that they call the #SelfieCamJam. This week, they started their performance with a shout out to the Canadian Cancer Society and our Emergency COVID-19 Fund, which is a fund that we have created to continue to offer life changing and often life saving services to Canadians living with cancer during these unprecedented and isolating times.
You know the CCS where I get to work??? Yeah – the Barenaked Ladies was talking about the NPO where I have the honour of working.
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!
