My name is Sadie Rose Desautels. Yesterday, I moved from Mexico to my new home in Canada and I have to say, I am a pretty big fan.
There are comfy beds, kids who think I am amazing and play with me, and my Mama and Daddy seem to be good at the whole food, cuddle, kiss thing.
I’m not shy, and my tail seems to wag at least 89% of the time. I’m not to sure about my fur brother – he is the only one who has no interest in playing with me.
Oh, also I get a bit excited and need to learn to always go pee outside. But I know some commands – I can sit, I can stay, and I don’t know why but my human brother loooooves to shake my paw. (I don’t mind! I get a treat when I do that, so it works out for me.)
I am affectionate and really really like cuddling. My foster parents in Mexico were so good to me, and taught me good manners.
Also – my mama said to please don’t mind that in addition to my brother Timon, I will be showing up a lot on her Instagram. Don’t worry – you’ll love me! Everyone else around here seems to!
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!
