Staking His Claim

She is pregnant, broke and alone. She moves back to Casselton, ND to be closer to her family and friends because she needs their support. Upon driving to her parents’ home, her car breaks down and she gets stuck in an impending Blizzard. She sees a former neighbors home in the distance and makes the decision to seek refuge. When she arrives at the house, she receives another shock. The man standing before her isn’t Mr. Johnson. He is Blake Eaton, and he is sexy-as-sin. He is also twenty-years her senior. Yet, she has more impending troubles. Her water breaks.Blake Eaton had no idea how much his life would change the moment Leslie showed up on his doorstep. He doesn’t even realize she is pregnant until she is in his home. He can’t figure out what would drive a woman to such extreme measure’s to make a trip in her condition. When he discovers the father of her child has abandoned her he is astonished. Still, he is shocked to find himself so attracted to a woman pregnant with another mans child. He doesn’t know if he is going to survive being stuck in his home with her while a Blizzard is raging outside, because there is another storm brewing inside. Blake wants her and he doesn't plan to let her go.Excerpt:It was the total opposite with Sean. Everyone else wanted to write him off, but she had been the only one who wanted to give him a chance. Maybe going out with Blake wasn’t such a bad idea. She had already come up with numerous ways in which they were similar.“So you are interested in dating me?”He nodded. “Yes I am.” He paused, looking down at Alison. “I think she is finished.”Leslie stood up and looked down at her daughter. She was nestled snuggly in Blake’s arms. Her eyes were closed, the bottle empty. She took the bottle from Blake.“Do you want to burp her?”He nodded, gently bringing Alison up to his shoulder. Leslie touched her daughter’s back.“I’m going to get her carrier. She is going to be out for the night.”She went into the kitchen, picked up the carrier before bringing it back. She sat it on the sofa. Once Blake had belched her, Leslie took her and placed her into the carrier. She stood there and watched her daughter sleep.“She is beautiful, just like her mother.”She looked up at Blake and smiled. “Thank you.”“Is she sleeping through the night yet?”Leslie nodded. She was thankful that she was. Although Alison still had the tendency to wake up early. It wasn’t an inconvenience unless it was the weekend. She wanted to sleep in late if she could on those days. But Alison wasn’t always willing to cooperate. If she was hungry or wet, she made it known. No matter what time it was. Yet once her needs were taken care of, she would usually go back to sleep.Leslie sat down on the couch, not wanting to disturb Alison. She looked over at Blake as he came over and sat down beside her. He placed his arm around her. She leaned into his embrace. He ran his hand up and down her arm, making her shiver. His touch, although simple, was unlike one she had ever felt before.“You know what I would really like to do right now, Leslie?”She looked up at him. “No, I don’t, but I’m sure you will tell me.”He leaned down and nuzzled her neck, making her quiver. “I want to kiss you.”Her eyes widened. It had been a while since she had kissed someone, excluding the little peck he’d bestowed upon her at the bakery earlier this week. A kiss that she didn’t think really counted. It had been months, the last person being Sean.Her gaze fell on his lips. She wondered what it would be like to feel his lips against hers. She had a feeling the last kiss they’d shared was nothing compared to what was about to happen. Having the urge to feel his lips against hers in a real kiss, she stretched upward. He met her halfway. She sighed. Her heart pounded hard in her chest the moment their lips touched. And when their tongues began mating with an intensity that shook every nerve in her body, she had to fight the instinct to break the connection for fear of losing control. In that moment, she wasn’t aware of anything but the feel of his tongue stroking hers, the feel of hers stroking his, the rush of sensations flooding and overpowering her. She was also aware of the dampness between her legs increasing, of the way her body was beginning to ache with need.If he hadn’t been holding her, she was certain she would have floated away. Opening her mouth slightly, she allowed him to slip his tongue further inside. She leaned more into him, mating her tongue with his. She moaned as a strong surge of desire rolled through her. Her nipples hardened into tight little peaks. She shifted to ease the sensation. When it didn’t work, she leaned even closer to Blake, until her aching nipples brushed against his chest. Slowly, he pulled back, their lips reluctantly separating. She felt a tremendous sense of loss. He was breathing as heavily as she was.

Summer Ends a New Season Begins............

Posted by DawnKA on September 6, 2009 at 4:44pm

We have the seasons that last for a while and we make the necessary adjustments to acclimate ourselves. Well as the seasons come and go, I reflect on the various challenges and triumphs that I have had to endure - I call them my seasons. One of my favorite scriptures in the bible is found in the book of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 verses 1-13.The year 2009 has whizzed on by with each month appearing to end almost as soon as it has begun. I often wonder if it's my age or is it that I am finally taking the time to see how time truly flies.In the beginning of the year, I could not wait for the winter to end. I look forward to the spring which seemed as though winter was lingering on a bit longer. Nevertheless, the seasonal days of spring carried on until it was time to begin summer. Ah, yes summer! I was excited about summer - finally some sunny, warm weather with days to dress without jackets, scarves or gloves. However, summer was interrupted by the spring like weather that poured down rain and a lingering chill that somehow just did not feel quite right. We kept our umbrellas close, rain gear actively ready and a light jacket - not the typical summer. In fact, we had an unusual sleet and hail storm in July where people were shoveling wearing shorts and T shirts. Summer is officially coming to an end and I wonder what the Fall will be like for us. Will summer linger on or will fall take its place and prepare us for the winter?In my daily life, the challenges have lingered much longer than I could stand. It all makes me wonder if the triumphs will come soon and will they last longer. To make it clear, even though I complain about waring the rain gear, I appreciate the rain that comes with the spring, we need it. It is essential for our livelihood. I am not afraid of the challenges, in fact, I welcome the challenges. Challenges allows me to learn more about myself. I work through the challenges and somehow, I make it through. I just do not like the consistency of them as they seem to come more often than necessary. I celebrate the triumphs and at times it seems as though they are short lived as the challenge arises while I am still dancing for joy.I have decided and I am determined to work through the seasons. I will not wait for December 31st to resolve that the New Year will be the best year yet. I will allow each season to come and I will make it the best season ever. When the rain falls, an unexpected blizzard, a snowstorm, or any other unusual occurrence, I will get my protective gear and keep it moving.

Airline Cuts

Posted by Dana Hickles on September 5, 2009 at 1:30pm

Tuesday, September 1, 2009, 12:39pm CDT | Modified: Wednesday, September 2, 2009, 7:35amAMR to cut 921 flight attendant jobsDallas Business JournalAmerican Airlines Inc. said Tuesday that 921 flight attendant positions will be eliminated, effective Oct. 1. The move will help the airline reach its previously announced goal of cutting 1,200 flight attendant jobs by the end of the year.The airline had delayed the cuts to allow time for flight attendants to accept voluntary leaves. In a statement, American said the reductions include "449 voluntary options, 224 involuntary overage leaves and 228 furloughs.”Flight attendants who volunteered to accept leaves saved 279 jobs from ending up on an involuntary furlough list, the airline said. With a two-month involuntary leave, 244 flight attendants will preserve their jobs while also allowing other flight attendants to continue flying.After accounting for the overage leaves, travel separations and modified flying schedules, the airline still had to eliminate 228 flight attendant positions to reach its goal of cutting 1,200 positions by October.American announced in late spring that the carrier would make the cuts to help keep the airline's operational expenses in line with the business demands of the current economy.Southwest Airlines Co. will cut 42 round-trip flights but add another 32 round-trip flights for schedules that run from Jan. 10 through March 12.The changes will mean a loss of 10 round-trip flights during the early 2010 travel period, Southwest said. A spokesman for the airline said 92 markets will be affected by the changes.The only adjustment in North Texas is the addition of one flight between Dallas and Houston, Dallas-based Southwest (NYSE: LUV) said.The airline says it's adjusting its flight schedule due to changing traffic patterns.Southwest uses optimization technology to help assess customer demand and add value, a spokeswoman for the airline said, noting that scheduling changes at Southwest occur throughout the year.

You Can Do It!

Posted by Dana Hickles on September 5, 2009 at 1:05pm

Naomi's Notes: YOU can do it!by: Naomi HulmeYOU can do it!You CAN DO it!You can do IT!We make our dreams come true or not. It is all up to each of us to make those things happen that we wish for and want. Whatever your "it" is, whether a dream or passion or goal, you really "can do" it if you want it bad enough and work at it hard enough. Ignore the "can'ts" that you hear in your own mind and from others.We have so many choices each day. Think back a year ago of missed opportunities that either you weren't financially or professionally or emotionally ready for. What if you had planned ahead and were ready for any and all opportunities that came your way. Imagine how and what you would be doing. Now think back five years ago and come forward. There were probably some opportunities that you were able to jump on and make use of in that time. What other opportunities do you see that either you or your family missed?No matter where you are today, you can choose today going forward to have a great, optimistic, positive attitude about every area of your life. You CAN accomplish anything you set out to do. Sometimes we have to get creative to get through the stumbling blocks.Start planning now to watch for any positive opportunities that God puts in your path.According to David McNally, in his book Even Eagles Need a Push, he stated, "Those who learn to soar have the courage to take a positive attitude toward life. They understand that life offers many surprises but believe that within those surprises are lessons - and that from the lessons comes wisdom. A positive attitude requires courage because it is a decision not to be defeated no matter what challenges life presents.""Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing."Abraham Lincoln"A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes."Hugh DownsJeffrey Gitomer's Little Gold Book of Yes! Attitude says, "A large part of attitude achievement is the visualization. It's easier to visualize YES! than it is to visualize positive. When something great happens, no one screams, "Positive!" Everyone screams, "YES!" That's the difference. That's the YES! factor."Each day, do one thing that helps you get where you want to be. Mix that one thing in your schedule no matter how busy you are. At the end of one year, you will have stretched and grown personally and professionally in so many ways. You will then start to add new directions to your original dream. Just imagine how much more purpose you will have in your life. Go for it!

"5 Ways To Beat The Recession Blues"

Posted by Ashani Mfuko on September 5, 2009 at 2:47am

I’m not going to give you advice on how to make extra money, or save money during this recession. You can figure that out on your own. These are practical ideas, to really improve your life, and the way you feel from day to day, while trying to earn more money, or save money. Here goes…1) Stay Positive! If there’s one thing we don’t need more of at a time like this, it’s negativity and pessimism. There’s no way that you can have hope for the future, if you’re stuck in the downward spiral of negativity today. Look for the positive aspects of your situation. Hate your job? At least you have one! Unemployed? What a great time to figure out exactly what path you want to take next in life, and develop and cultivate new skills and talents! Broke? At least you’re not hungry and homeless! Hungry and homeless? At least you’re alive and healthy! Everyday brings about new possibilities and opportunities for change.You get the idea.2) Do a Self-Evaluation. Look deep into yourself and see just how much power you have over your life/situation. There’s always something in your life that you can improve upon, change, develop, etc. Look for areas that you can put energy into that may better yourself, even if it won’t necessarily change your circumstances immediately.3) Get rid of waste. Waste can be holding onto anything that isn’t absolutely necessary, or isn’t adding anything good to your life. It could be clutter, old clothes/shoes that you don’t wear (hello, donate them!), things that you waste money on, timewasters, deadbeat friends, or relationships that do more draining than anything else. Life is too short! Make a change today!4) Focus on the future, not the present. Start planning that vacation that you’re going to take next year. Set goals for how much money you’d like to have in your savings account a year from now. Plan new strategies that you will use on your next job, project, client, etc. Focus on how you’ll handle certain situations in a better way next time around. Recognize how much stronger and wiser you will be in the future, after enduring such tumultuous times.5) Pray! Need I say more? I think this one is self-explanatory. There comes a point when you realize that you need help that is greater than anything you can muster up within yourself. Prayer is the only answer. (Oh, and faith to believe that God hears your prayer, and will answer it).

5 Ways to Overcome Negativity

Posted by Ashani Mfuko on September 5, 2009 at 2:45am

With all of the challenges we face everyday of our lives, financially, professionally, personally, within our families and our relationships, not to mention the demons of our past, it's no wonder to me that some people look for any little outlet to release their inner anger/frustration on others.If you somehow, innocently, get caught on the receiving end of such hate, here are some tips on overcoming other people's hate towards you:1) Always take the high road. It's best that you stay on the offensive. Haters will always twist your words, and the meaning behind them, to feed their hate. It's just what they do.2) Remember that you're not who they say you are. Haters are typically people who know you the least. True friends and family, who really know you, wouldn't see the need to put out such hate about you.3) Decide at some point, that you won't even acknowledge the hate anymore. Do whatever it takes to remove it from your life. Stop accepting those calls, have someone else handle them or send them directly to voicemail, then erase them, stop reading those e-mails or comments, just choose to remove it from your life by any means necessary. That negative energy is not only distracting, but it's draining, and it will only cause you to feel down, and focus less on the really important things in your life.4) Focus on the positive. Even if the hate is due to a mistake that you made, or a belief that you have that may be controversial, acknowledge it, but remember that whatever it is, it’s only one aspect of your total person. Remember all of the positive things about your character, or your business, all of the great things that people say about you, or the great testimonials from your customers.5) Let nature take its course. I find that hate has a cycle. There are times when it's hot and heavy, and constantly being fed by haters who simply follow other haters. But, at some point in time, it dies down, as the haters find a new victim, or simply have to contend with the hate that they've sown into their own lives. Some call it Karma, or it could be the good old' saying "you reap what you sow". But at the end of the day, you can't control what other people do; you can only control how you respond to it.Stay positive, stay focused, sow good seeds, spread love, have integrity, be a blessing to others, and the haters will never be able to prevail over you.

Dreams come true. Robin Tramble's original song You don't weep alone 911 shared across the world

It was then that I knewthe dream was still alive and the song must be heard, expecially bysome of those who lost loved ones as a result.Today that burning desire was still present and I pushed againsttalking about it and planning and found myself passionately settingup the posting of a clip of my song.

How To Grow Your Salon Business Using Videos

Posted by Charlotte Howard on September 5, 2009 at 12:10am

A video is a great way to promote your salon business. It is some sort of an advertisement and marketing strategy for your salon business. People can easily know what you have to offer. When we say using a video to grow your salon business, it does not mean that blatant in-your-face advertising. This means that you can show what your salon business has to offer, the services that you have or the tools and information that you want the audience to know. These are all considered as advertising.Easily, it gets your message across. So, make sure when you make the video for your salon business, the website is most visited by people for them to learn more about your salon business. Otherwise, the promotion will be useless.So, how do you do it exactly? Maybe you are wondering if it is difficult to create a video to help you grow your salon business. Well, here are some tips for it.• The first thing you should do is to ask yourself if the video that you will create will benefit your salon business. Will it create sales when you make it? Will it serve the purpose of promoting your salon business to prospective clients? All your answer should be a definite yes!• So, you have answered it with a yes. The next thing you should consider is will you make the video yourself or will you hire a professional to produce it for you? Of course, when you hire someone, you need to pay him with a certain amount. But don’t worry about it as there are many fairly inexpensive video devices available that can produce good quality videos. Just consider your market and the objective why you are doing this. Is your business targeting a top notch clientele? If so, then hiring a professional videographer is the answer.
