Which state came out on top, who took a tumble, and where does your home state land on the list? This week, U.S. News & World Report released its annual Best States rankings, and the results are sure to spark some friendly debate. Join us as we break down the biggest movers, the standout categories, and why these rankings are about much more than bragging rights. Whether your state cracked the top 10—and maybe a few surprises waiting for you! What does one of the most beloved songs of all time have to do with living a more intentional life? More than you might think! In this episode, we share the fascinating story behind We’ve Only Just Begun by The Carpenters and explore how its timeless message reminds us to stay present, embrace new beginnings, and live each day with purpose. It’s an uplifting conversation about slowing down, staying alert to life’s opportunities, and appreciating the journey that’s still unfolding. Thanks to today's sponsors: Northeast Factory Direct and Liberty HealthShareSign up for the Morning Boosts newsletter HERE!Email: [email protected]Our Website: StartYourDayPositive.comHOSTS:Sara Carnes  // @SaraCarnes4Len Howser // @LenHowser
