I was happy to learn this information because now it makes my moonth word make even more sense. In case this is your first YesSpiral encounter, we refer to the lunar cycles as moonths.

To keep my energy fresh, I consistently try new things every month, quarter, or year. "Consistency is the fruit of the tree of success.
