Saturdays are for TARDIS onesies, Supernatural, coffee, Christmas trees, candles and cuddling with my kids.
I do not take my privilege in this crazy time lightly – • I get to work from home • I can keep my kids home • I can afford to order my groceries and have them put directly into my trunk without sharing my germs • I have underlying health conditions, but none that impede my ability to wear a mask • I can order Christmas gifts for my kids mostly from home, even while supporting local shops • My family is safe and sound and healthy
I do not qualify as an essential worker, but some of my friends do. With the case counts going up in BC, but few measures being put into place, I am trying to make sure that, for the sake of those who do not have the same privileges as me, I am keeping my bubble small and sticking close to home.
Thank you to everyone who doesn’t get to spend your Saturdays in TARDIS onesies, watching the Winchesters hunting things and saving people. Thank you for working on the frontlines to keep the world going.
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!
