This month is by far my best month yet! I’ve also taken better care of myself physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally than I have in a long while. As always, the “ask the Universe and shuffle the iPod” somehow gives me the reflections of my life, feelings, thoughts, and emotion in songs. Here are my little nuggets of wisdom for this month.

I didn’t jump on board Ryan’s New York, New York was the favorite after 911. It’s actually my least favorite. Other Ryan fans probably just gasped in disgust.
