Happy October, UTD!
If you do not know, Annie and I are BIG Mets fans! This rollercoaster season has gotten us to the AMAZIN' postseason! The clubhouse t-shirt says OCTOBER READY which completely sums up the season. Through the team's collective spirit, courage, confidence, chutzpah, and talent they are flying forward! I'm also using "October Ready" to describe our manifesting process. The Fall season is filled with promise and opportunity. I encourage all of us to embrace this energy and let it carry us through till the end of the year. Momentum is everything. October's affirmation is:
We are OCTOBER ARTISTICALLY READY and empowered with courage, confidence, chutzpah, and talent.
Happy Manifesting!
