Three years ago, on Aug. 9, 2011, I threw caution to the wind and published my first post on my Scribbles & Tostitos Blog. I was nervous, excited, and expectant. I did not know how people would react to my posts. I did not know if anyone would even read my posts. The initial post was extremely personal, so I remember only sharing it with a few people.

The decision to make myself vulnerable in public was not an easy one. Eventually, I let go of my fears and worries and made the blog public. Writing for S&T has been therapeutic for me. It has helped me learn who I am, and it has helped me help other people. The number of e-mails, text messages, and phone calls I get of people thanking me for blog has been overwhelming. It touches me that women are going through the same struggles as me. These women are who motivate me to continue blogging, even when it gets tough.

I have a vision for where I want S&T to go. I’m not there yet. I am happy that you have decided to take time out of your Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday to read my blog and join me on this journey. You inspire me more than words can say.

Thank You, S&T Readers, for supporting me for 2 years. The best is yet to come!

Yours Truly,

Yaa Yaa
