Before KaliDesautelsSpeaks, before KaliDesautelsReads, there was Kalijd. There was a lot of life in the before. I tend to talk a lot about this season in my life as something I had to get passed to get here, and yes - I had anxiety and depression and an eating disorder and an unhealthy obsession with … Continue reading #TBT – #BellLetsTalk2021

Happy Friday!
Happy Friday! It’s September, which was always an exciting time for me. My sister suggested a couple of years ago that September is another New Year, and since then, that is how I have tried to approach it.
