Smile on!

If you didn't believe in Miracles, here is clear proof of one:

After several hours of surgery, the girl whose shooting by the Taliban has caused deep anger in Pakistan and has exposed that nation's "deepest fault line," is said to be in stable condition.

Malala Yousufzai, our colleague Philip Reeves reports from Islamabad, is surrounded by her family. The BBC says doctors successfully removed a bullet from her head. Pakistan's Express Tribune newspaper says doctors have decided she will not need to be sent abroad for more treatment.

I apologize for believing Malala would not be saved, since she was shot in the head&neck yesterday. This was clearly a Miracle! This strong girl managed to hang on to life and is now recovering. I was so happy and relieved to read this news. I'm sure this happened because she is meant to do so much more with her life <3

I want to dedicate this next post to a very Brave young lady from Pakistan named Malala Yousufzai who for standing up for what she believed in was shot. It saddens me deeply that women in countries like Pakistan are suffering the way they are by having no freedom of speech, amongst so many other constraints. I look up to young Malala for trying to fight for what is right.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Taliban gunmen in Pakistan shot and seriously wounded on Tuesday a 14-year-old schoolgirl who rose to fame for speaking out against the militants, authorities said.

Malala Yousufzai was shot in the head and neck when gunmen fired on her school bus in the Swat valley, northwest of the capital, Islamabad. Two other girls were also wounded, police said.

Yousufzai became famous for speaking out against the Pakistani Taliban at a time when even the government seemed to be appeasing the hardline Islamists.

The government agreed to a ceasefire with the Taliban in Swat in early 2009, effectively recognizing insurgent control of the valley whose lakes and mountains had long been a tourist attraction.

The Taliban set up courts, executed residents and closed girls' schools, including the one that Yousufzai attended. A documentary team filmed her weeping as she explained her ambition to be a doctor.

"My friend came to me and said, 'for God's sake, answer me honestly, is our school going to be attacked by the Taliban?'," Yousufzai, then 11, wrote in a blog published by the BBC.

"During the morning assembly we were told not to wear colorful clothes as the Taliban would object."

The army launched an offensive and retook control of Swat later that year, and Yousufzai later received the country's highest civilian award. She was also nominated for international awards for child activists.

Since then, she has received numerous threats. On Tuesday, gunmen arrived at her school and asked for her by name, witnesses told police. Yousufzai was shot when she came out of class and went to a bus.

Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan said his group was behind the shooting.

"She was pro-West, she was speaking against Taliban and she was calling President Obama her ideal leader," Ehsan said by telephone from an undisclosed location.

"She was young but she was promoting Western culture in Pashtun areas," he said, referring the main ethnic group in northwest Pakistan and southern and eastern Afghanistan. Most members of the Taliban come from conservative Pashtun tribes.

Doctors were struggling to save Yousufzai, said Lal Noor, a doctor at the Saidu Sharif Teaching Hospital in the Swat valley's main town of Mingora. - Yahoo

 

Focus on your bettering.. focus on your bettering. -

Stop looking back Bella's, it's easier the sooner you realize it's pointless. What is done is done and all you can do is Learn from it and Move On if you do anything else you will keep holding Your Potential Back. We are all capable of doing so much but there are times when we allow our inner fears to control our thoughts and actions and that's where the vicious cycle starts. Choose to better yourself :)

Happy Monday! Xoxo
