What happens when you go all in
Oh, hi friends!
I recently asked what you were going “all in” on for the last quarter of this year.
Here’s what your fellow readers are focusing on right now…hope you are as inspired as I am.

I’m going all in on taking the pressure off. I’ll live each day thoughtfully but I won’t badger myself with things I ‘should’ doing or accolades I ‘should’ be acquiring. I’m just gonna live baby!
Going all in on becoming a photographer—not the, "I decided to randomly make an online portfolio and do nothing with it" kind, but one who gets paid for it (still figuring that part out :P)
I’m going all in on my health! I am going to continue to put one foot in front of the other and take everything one day at a time. :) —BD in BK
I took a trip to South Africa earlier this year expecting to return with a renewed sense of purpose – or at least gratitude for the experience. Instead, I felt numb, hollow. Guilt followed. How could time at an orphanage not bring out feelings? Four months later, I awoke to thoughts of a long-ago dream of adoption – which I set aside in my forties along with other I’m-too-old-now castaways. Turns out, age isn’t an issue when adopting a child through the state. I’m all-in on the path to becoming a mother to one of the twelve thousand children in the Massachusetts Foster Care system. —Monica, Berkshires

Something I need to be reminded of all the time.
Because when's the last time you had a good idea when you were in a bad mood?
