Miley Cyrus – Gimme a break!

First, I must admit, the Cyrus family is brilliant. “Billy Ray” has had quiet a career! “Miley Ray” is following in his footsteps. I admire some things about them. I don’t dislike them. I just have to comment because I am so TIRED of hearing about the Miley Cyrus pictures.

The family and “handlers” were on site and everything was great. WOW – what an accomplishment to be photographed by a celebrity photographer known for “racy” shots at the age of 15!

Now, for some reason, and on the receiving end of incredible publicity, the young teenage star is crying “embarrassed”. PLEEEAAASSSEEE!

We all know that sex sells. It’s everywhere all the time. I don’t think this is the first time “Miley Ray” has been “sold” as a sex symbol. Is this just a marketing ploy or is there really a sponsor who is upset by the photos?

Personally, IF I were to be concerned or upset about anything, it would be the “father and daughter” pictures instead of the “Miley Ray” shots. They’re just creepy! Check it out:

What is it with people?

Scenario 1:

Running in the local TARGET with a small amount of time to pick up a few items

There’s an older lady in front of me walking VERY SLOW! I’m walking slowly behind her with a respectable amount of space and exercising PATIENCE when all of the sudden I hear the older lady YELLING at a middle aged woman who walked in front of her. The older lady yells “Why don’t you watch where you are going?”. The middle aged woman yelled back “I’ll run over you next time”. I had numerous random thoughts running through my head but BIT my tongue and stayed out of their little fuss. What is it with PEOPLE?

Scenario 2

Names have been changed to protect the innocent!

Lucy and LuLu are working together on a potential problem when Greta appears and interrupts with this comment … ” I went to school two years so I wouldn’t have to do that” and she follows it with loud, obnoxious laughter.

Lucy and LuLu looked uncomfortably at each other and provided a courtesy laugh. Greta then walked away. I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing and again, bit my tongue! I didn’t find the comment funny and thought it was incredibly rude!

What is it with PEOPLE? I can’t believe I chose to keep my mouth shut in both situations! It was the best thing to do although difficult. Thankfully, I can write a blog about it.

Do you believe in miracles?

I want to believe in miracles.

I hold onto hope that miracles do happen.

I think we may be preparing to experience MIRACLES in our life … finally !!!

It’s hard to believe in miracles.
