March is here…

…and this year is just flying by!  I was looking at some of the holidays and happenings of the month as I usually do, and thought about an article in the news early this year about a 14 year old equality activist named Malala Yousafzai in Swat, Pakistan who was shot in the neck and head by a Taliban assassin for wanting an education! I then thought that it is sad to see education being misused, unused and taken for granted!  All this should make us more mindful of the fact that there are STILL people, both here in the U.S. and all over the world that are mistreated in so many ways.  Educate yourselves! Take that step forward to achieve more…and BE MORE! That is, for your health, mind, relationships AND education!  It’s never too late!  Glad to see she is doing better and is moving forward in her education! 

March 8^th was International Women’s Day and I created a layout in honor of her and Women everywhere who want more for themselves:
