Little Bits Count Over Time
My approach to life is…
Little bits count over time.
500 words written a day (2 pages) is 182,500 words a year. That’s over 2 long novels (80,000 words or 320 pages long).
1 piece of trash picked up in the neighborhood every day is 365 pieces a year. This will make a HUGE difference in how the neighborhood looks.
1 extra seed sown could provide the equivalent of a full day’s vegetables for 1 person.
Stretching scrambled eggs once a week with a bit of water could save the equivalent of over 4 dozen eggs a year.
1 reach out to a friend could make the difference in her day.
Using 1 old cotton t-shirt, cut into strips, for tomato ties keeps that shirt out of the landfill and saves us money on ties.
1 romance novel bought could ensure that series continues (I’ve seen this happen first hand. 1 sale can make a HUGE difference.).
Little bits can make a difference in the world. Don’t ever doubt that, my friends!

Art Persists
I was telling the Dear Wonderful Hubby yesterday
that the world might be a giant ever-burning tire fire
but
the music being shared is AMAZING.
I don’t like all of it, of course. Art isn’t meant to be liked by everyone. But I like a lot of it and I recognize the creativity and the awesome wordsmithing behind the works.
There have been some great romance novels released also (often self-published). And poems. And wow about the rebellious graffiti art springing up all over.
Art persists.
And so will we.
(smiles)

Go Offline For A Moment
I see you doomscrolling!
As we all are. There is so much doom to scroll.
But the doom can wait. Your mental health and happiness comes first.
Disconnect for a moment, a brief moment (or longer), and be present in your surroundings.
Smell the Spring (or Fall/Autumn) air. Listen to the birds sing. Curl your toes (if you are fortunate to be able to do this). Touch a leaf.
You NEED this moment of peace, of connection, my friend. Give it to yourself.
You deserve it.
(big hugs)

Sleeping In And LOVIN’ It!
I am NOT a morning person.
But, during outdoor gardening season, which in my part of the world usually stretches from mid April to mid November, I tend to get up at the butt crack of dawn, as I jokingly refer to it.
Because it’s preferable to water plants in the wee hours of the morning. That way, leaves can dry before the sun’s rays touch them.
During the rest of the year, I sleep in.
And it is GLORIOUS, my friends. (smiles) I snuggle under the covers with the Dear Wonderful Hubby (also not a morning person) and I dream about all the stories I might or might not write.
I wish you equally happy mornings!

Take A Break From Social Media
Recently, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I took a bit of a break from social media and the news.
We checked in to ensure our accounts were functioning but that’s it. We didn’t scroll. We didn’t read articles or watch the news.
(We DID ask a couple of reliable and wise people to contact us if something happened that we needed to be aware of immediately. Don’t worry. We weren’t careless with our safety in this way.)
This break was desperately needed. Our stress levels decreased. Our joy increased. Our emotional health greatly improved. I got a gazillion new story ideas. (grins) My dreams were AWESOME.
Another buddy only looks at the news and/or social media once a week. Again, she knows others will inform her if something urgent arises. But she also needs a break from the constant bombardment of bad news.
If you need a break and can take one, please do so, my friends.
(big hugs)
Keep yourself healthy and find some happiness!
Badge Bunnies
C.S. Sax
Enjoy four fun yet sizzling hot paranormal romances set in a future where genetically enhanced supercops keep the peace and mafia rabbits rule the underworld.
The Godrabbit
I am known by many names. My beloved mother called me Flopsy Lapin. Lady Grace Satin jokes that I am the wickedest rabbit in all of the world. Her father, Lord Satan, dares to label me a mobster street rabbit. You, my friend, may call me the Godrabbit.
Lady Grace is the only female I lust after. My bloodstained hands are unworthy of holding her, so when a high-class hooker with Lady Grace’s face, voice, scent, and everything else, wanders into my casino, I make her an offer she can’t refuse. This leads to a night I will never forget.
Note: The Godrabbit is a prequel to Protect And Serve: Badge Bunny
Badge Bunny
My name is Officer Drake. I’m genetically enhanced to be the best damn policeman there is. I can snap a werewolf in two. I can outrun a car. That’s not boasting. Those are the facts.
I’m designed to protect and serve, and when I spot a plush little bunny shifter by the name of Hunny Lapin, that is exactly what I do. I protect her from a strip club owning vampire and serve up her every desire in bed. ‘Course, that lands me in a whole heap of trouble, but it’s nothing I can’t handle. I’m a supercop, remember?
Legal Beagle
My name is Officer Wright. I’m genetically enhanced as one of the city’s finest, and a normal day for me involves plugging liquid sunshine into rogue vamps, tagging and bagging renegade werewolves, and putting the fear of the badge into all criminals.
But these are not normal days. While my partner takes a leave of absence to bang his bunny, I’m stuck on babysitting duty. Yeah, stop laughing. It would be more humorous except the chick I’m tailing is a hot little beagle-shifting judge, and when she takes the bench, believe me, my whole body comes to order.
Speed Demon
My name is Officer Sargent, Sarge to friends and fellow police officers. You might have heard some rumors about me, but they’re all lies. I’m not gay. I’m not. The reason I watch my partner’s back is because that’s what cops do; we watch out for each other. It has nothing to do with his broad shoulders or trim hips or shapely butt.
My partner Nero is a demon, and he has a sick sense of humor, tricking me into thinking things no straight man should ever think. I’m a genetically enhanced supercop, and I can handle his devilish magic.
That is until the unthinkable happens.

The Changing Of The Seasons
It is Spring-like in my corner of the universe.
I love Spring.
I love how the snow melts and creates little streams all over the place, all of that water hurrying along, going on a big adventure.
I love how the plants poke out of the ground, creating greenery where there once was none, babies who, if given a chance, could grow into giants.
I love the chirping of the baby birds, missing their parents, calling out for their next meals, knowing their parents are out there sourcing those meals for them, loving them.
I love the hope and the fresh starts and the newness. It makes me happy.
(smiles)

Do Something Random
We, humans, are creatures of habits. We tend to do the same things at the same times in the same ways. This is comfortable. This is easy.
This is…boring.
And boring is bad for our brains. Our brains need exercise and new gives this important part of us a great and fun workout.
So do something random today.
Listen to a new-to-you radio station for a song or two. Pick up a book from a library’s display table. Take your guidance system’s most fuel economic route home. Go into the vegetable section of your grocery store and buy one of whatever vegetable is located in the fifth bin to the right of the romaine lettuce.
Embrace the chaos of random comfortably. (smiles) Your brain will love you for this!

Love Is A Safe Space
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I fell in love at first sight and many decades later, we are still very much in love.
People have asked me how I knew it was love.
My answer usually is…if you wonder whether or not it is love, it likely isn’t love.
When you experience it, you KNOW.
But the big tip was…I immediately felt safe with him.
He felt like the home, the sanctuary I never had. I could relax with him. I could TRUST him.
And this was unprecedented for me as I rarely feel safe. Anywhere. With anyone.
I grew up a daughter of abuse and I have been betrayed and hurt far too much to ever trust easily.
Yet I trusted the (now) Dear Wonderful Hubby. I knew he wouldn’t hurt me.
(I still didn’t let down my guard for years after meeting him because…well…I didn’t even trust myself or my own judgment and I didn’t think someone could be as nice as the Dear Wonderful Hubby truly is.)
My trust in the Dear Wonderful Hubby was also unusual because, while the Dear Wonderful Hubby is a very kind man, he doesn’t seem like a safe person when people first meet him. He’s very physical (is never still) and often sarcastic and fairly…intense.
But my soul knew. And eventually my brain figured this out also.
Love is a safe space.
If you don’t feel safe, you likely don’t feel love.
And you deserve to feel love, my friends. (big hugs)

Do What Makes You Happy
A dear loved one still has her Christmas lights up inside her home.
Yes, at the end of February.
These Christmas lights make her so very happy. And having them up doesn’t hurt anyone.
So why not keep them up?
Happiness is precious. If something makes you happy and doesn’t hurt anyone else, embrace it!
The people who love you, once they know it makes you happy, will be happy for you.
The other people…well…they don’t have the good sense to love you so clearly their opinion isn’t worth much, is it?
(grins)

Send A Note To A Loved One
It is the end of February, usually a very dark time for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. Some of your loved ones are feeling this darkness also.
Consider sending them a note, either snail mail, email, message, or some other way.
Consider it even more if this loved one commented on the Holiday Card you sent them in 2025. That was a ‘request’ for more letters, more communications, more love from you.
The note doesn’t have to be long. It could simply say, “I was thinking of you today and I wanted you to know you are loved.” or it could simply be a sharing of a very bad pun. (grins)
The important thing is…
Our loved ones feel loved.
