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!

Look at her, she’s wicked!

The highlight of my weekend? Finally checking off a 20-year Bucket List dream by seeing Wicked the movie! 🎥💚 Starring the incredible Cynthia Erivo (@cynthiaerivo ) and Ariana Grande (@arianagrande ), the film was everything I could have hoped for—and more.

I have always loved The Wizard of Oz and then I first fell in love with this story when I read Gregory Maguire’s book as a kid, and I’ve dreamed of seeing the musical ever since. This movie brought that magic to life in a way I’ll never forget. The visuals were stunning, the story was engaging, and the singing? Absolutely out of this world. 🌟

This theatre experience was pure joy, and I’m already ready for a rewatch. Have you seen Wicked yet? Let me know your favorite moment (no spoilers for others)! 🪄💚
