Yoriko on The Big Issue Taiwan

My creative work is covered in a spread "Business Tomorrow" column in the January issue of The Big Issue Taiwan 大誌雜誌, that came out on Junuary 2nd!

The Big Issue started 20+ years ago in UK to support the homeless to their independency. I loved their cause & the plus: the Taiwan version is designed beautifully.

Please spread the news if you have friends in Taipei. The article is written by SF based writer Hui-Min Tsai, who found me through my Etsy shop. Big thank you to Hui-Min and editor Brian Huang for this wonderful article. 多謝。

Happy New Year!

I hope you had a good holiday season and started 2018 all refreshed.

Did you make a new year's resolution?
Below are some I have in mind for the year:

1) Use less plastic: carry around reusable shopping bags, wash & reuse ziplock bags, carry around your own water bottle/coffee mug, and not buy plastic bottled drinks as much as I can.

2) Stick with my schedule while being flexible.

3) Make more time—when I can—to do what you love, not what you are supposed to do.

I believe there is no short-cut to lead a environmentally responsible lifestyle and make a difference; it's all up to each of us. Please don't think "It doesn't matter what I do." because it does! An individual can influence the community and the community can influence the local government. It sounds like a cliché, but it all starts from you...

Wishing you a wonderful year ahead!

A lucky King!
My husband Randy got the fève of the galette de rois at a new year's party.

Happy kid.
