#FlirtyFriday – 2 Scenes from Eagle Dance


It's Friday & time to put your flirt on!
No matter your age, flash your pearly whites and let your eyes do the talking. Flirt with your honey while making dinner or doing the dishes. Listen to some music and let the tunes inspire a quick dance in the kitchen. At night time, feel free to get a little creative.

Enjoy these two flirty scenes from my book Eagle Dance.


Scene 1
Definitely one delicious piece of man candy she couldn’t wait to unwrap. Amanda imagined what had to be well-defined pectorals and bulging biceps hiding under the heavy coat. If he had washboard abs, she’d jump at the chance to lick thick, warm chocolate-fudge topping off them. Hopefully one night with him would end her craving.

“Let’s get the pizza then head to the cabin.” He dropped the phone in a cup holder.

She spoke matter-of-factly. “We should pick up some chocolate or caramel syrup, too.”

He blinked sinfully long eyelashes and as the suggestive words sank in, he smirked. Leaning over the center console, he framed her cheek with one large hand. His eyes bore into hers as he took her mouth in a searing kiss that ended much too soon. “You got something planned for dessert?”

“Maybe.”


Scene 2
She wiggled her bottom then hopped off. “I like the way you rumba. Would you care to join me in a nice hot shower?”

“I most certainly would.” He stood and tugged on his jeans. “I’ll add some wood to the fire first.”

“Oh, honey, you already did that.” Purposely swaying her bare hips, she sashayed away.

“I don’t want the fire to go out.”

“Don’t worry about that.” She flipped her hair over her shoulder. “It won’t.”

“But it needs more stoking.”

“Oh, I love it when you talk dirty.”

The sound of his hearty burst of laughter followed her into the bathroom.

Dyami Schafer, a Native American from the Chippewa tribe, leads a lonely life due to his large size and unusual appearance. When his nesting instinct sets in, he turns to Madame Eve and 1Night Stand to help him find his spirit mate. Or at least a woman who accepts him as an eagle shifter. 

Amanda Collins never stopped loving the Chippewa boy she knew from her childhood. Maybe a night with a Native American man will help her forget the past and let her move on with her life. 

Sometimes, it’s necessary to take a step into the past before dancing into the future. With the help of Madame Eve, will the Spirit of the Eagle carry Dyami and Amanda?

Morning Yoga Doggie Style

Yoga is good for me but what's with the wet nose in my face?
I love doing my morning yoga. 
When you do yoga as the first thing you do in the day,  and it becomes habit,  your body will automatically adjust the time to wake up as well as the time  to fall asleep.  I find I wake with more energy and I'm inspired to tackle the day.
Even though dogs stretch and do normal yoga poses, they simply enjoy stretching.  However, your dog is in tune with your stress and anxiety. When you are calm, they're feeding off it and are essentially calm as well. A calm dog is happy and of course wants to share the joy, thus the wet nose and kisses while you are in a yoga pose. 
Today's  YOGI tea tag- "When you become a part of the universe,  the universe becomes a part  of you."

Happy Birthday to my Baby

15 years ago today, my youngest was born. Shortly after birth he was whisked away into NICU. Nathan was born with a hole in his heart, one kidney and a bowel obstruction. Hours later I was allowed to see him for a few moments. 
The next day I held him and we began our bonding. Surrounded by other babies born with problems and worried parents, we spent the next week. The nursing staff, volunteers and doctors at Saginaw Covenant were amazing! 

Within the first year, Nathan suffered seizures and couldn't speak for years.



Despite not being able to talk, teachers believed he was intelligent and proved they were right.




While keeping up with his older brothers, he thrived on baseball and football. The physical activity proved to be good for him.

Coaches worked with his strengths, building his confidence. Soon the insecure little boy was replaced.

With a special pad, Nate easily plays football. At a young age, he noticed other players with the same pad. A brotherhood of players with single kidneys formed.


I've watched my Little Tiger overcome any challenge he faced to become the athlete and top student he is. After years of speech therapy, he speaks fluently (almost too much) without any distortion. His grades have him rated as #1 in his class. He hopes to attend the Naval Academy with the goal of becoming a pilot. His ultimate dream is to be Top Gun.

Nate loves to travel, hang out with friends, play with his cat and drive his brothers crazy.


Special thanks to the medical staff, teachers and coaches who guided us on this journey.



Happy Birthday!
