Happy birthday, Christy! I think this is the longest we have gone in all of our years of friendship without seeing each other regularly!
One day we will get lost driving to the beach again. One day we will go camping when it is way too cold again. One day we will play board games with rules that neither of us can follow again. One day we will talk over top of movies while eating all the candy again. One day we will just sit in your backyard and stare at the trees again.
You are a seeker of beauty. You are a champion of sensitivity. You wear you heart on your sleeve and encourage those around you to do the same. You love your people with your whole heart. You are strong in your opinions and share them freely. I am so glad to have you in my life. I love you so much and when this is all over, I am so looking forward to getting back to our life together ❤️
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!
