Welcome back friends and followers,

First off, I would like to apologize for taking my blog offline without any notice. Recently, my email account was compromised and I felt that I needed a little bit (or a lot) of separation from the internet so it became my priority to disconnect. I now know what it feels like when something like this happens…or when your phone gets stolen or lost. It takes a lot out of you so I wanted to remind all of you to protect yourself online. The internet is freakin’ scary!

With every project that I have started, I have envisioned a beginning and an end. Nearing the end of the year, I realized that I did not want to stop. I’ve worked hard for Yow Yow! this year and it is something that I enjoy and would like to continue. However, there is much to be improved. Throughout the past year, I have mentioned that I had wanted to jump back into hobbies I used to love and not always burying myself into my books and even this blog. I have decided to not blog on weekends, because I still have a life ahead of me. How can I do that if I cannot disconnect? Anna Wintour once said,

“…because of reality television, everyone imagines they can just be a fashion designer, photographer, or model. that’s not the way things go. learn your craft.”

I do not have one passion. You have witnessed it all across my blog. I also don’t want to give you a reason that I am just all “talk.”  This year, I want to take the time to learn my craft and genuinely prove to you that I am a credible source. Before I started Yow Yow! I had been reading blogs consistently since 2006. I have my blog to inform you all of news, news that is more interesting to the both of us.  I also have my blog so that I can learn. I throw myself into reading news everyday and I love it. Not to mention I can spit random facts out like none other now.

Lastly, thank you’s are in order! Thank you to my friends, family, and followers! I never thought that Yow Yow! would have the following that it does today and it has been a very exciting project and a great experience. Who’s ready for another year?!
