I’ve just discovered urban fantasy romance with The Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews and I am obsessed – obsessed. There’s magic, action, amazing chemistry, and strong female leads. But this line from Rogan from White Hot made me melt. I am currently reading Diamond Fire.

Beach Read
Finally read Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. What was I waiting for?! It was such a fun read and to finally be able to read Jane Austen’s progression in her craft from this to Persuasion is amazing. I’m even more of a Jane Austen fangirl now.
Storytelling Magic
Truth – 95% of the books I read.
How I Manage Design Projects

Before Mr. Darcy…
it was Gilbert Blythe. As in “Pride and Prejudice,” things begin badly between our heroes. Gilbert admires Anne (Megan Follows) when she arrives at their one-room schoolhouse; she registers his handsomeness but ignores him, in part because of his cockiness; he calls her Carrots; she smashes a slate over his head. The “Carrots” slate-smash is […]

In 2022, The Metropolitan Area Planning Council’s Arts & Culture and Public Health teams patnered again with local artists and designers to update the messaging of the creative, culturally resonant communications about COVID-19 and vaccinations to include booster shots. Lillian Lee chose the Cantonese/Hong Kong slang 加油! Add Oil! to be the rallying cry for […]
