Thank You, Lin-Manuel Miranda And Disney, For #HamilFilm

My girl has been singing the lyrics to Hamilton for years, though she has never seen the show. We have been listening and singing along to the soundtrack on every car ride over 15 minutes long, and so when it was announced that, firstly there would be a film in the theatres in October, and then that it would be released early on Disney+, she was so excited that she set up a countdown by the HOUR until it was released.

Watching this play that has meant so much to her, singing along with the diverse cast during a time when this is exactly what we need to represent, with strong female characters, filled my heart with gratitude and joy.

She has watched it 3 full times since it was released. I have a feeling that it will be played many, many more times.

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!
