At
Be Real Magazine we choose topics that interest and excite us
and that we want to learn more about. Through writing, editing and putting together each issue, we
find ourselves steeped in the current topic.
Power is something that at times we struggle to create,
often manage to hide, and can suddenly discover deep within at
surprising times. The
idea of power seems to both encourage and baffle us.
Some people, especially women, are afraid of their own
power. Meaning
gets tangled when we do not discern between a benevolent (yet
strong) inner power and power used to manipulate, oppress, and
dominate others.
We
want to know how you define your personal power.
Is yours a quiet, still power?
Or a loud booming power?
Or is yours an excitable, contagious kind of power?
Or a unique, quirky kind of power?
Ask yourself and let us know what you discover!
Have you been shocked by moments of witnessing your own
tremendous power? Do you give your power away?
How do you feel when that happens?
Whom do you know that is truly powerful? How can you spot someone of power? From where do you draw your greatest power?
What are some of your “power rituals” -- the little
things you do in life to bolster yourself or call on your
inner reserves of power?
We all can learn from one another’s experiences. Please share with us about power in the form of stories, articles, poems, artwork, or simply brief comments.

Humor is healing and laughter is the best medicine for whatever ails you. After the seriousness of Trust and Power, we are in need of a good laugh. Do you have the revered ability to make people laugh without even trying? Lay it on us! Send us your true life amusing stories, silly pictures, goofy ideas, and inside jokes. Tell us about the funniest thing that ever happened to you. Was it funny at the time or devastating at the time and only funny in retrospect?
What makes you laugh? What puts a smile on your face? Who cracks you up? Who makes you laugh so hard you have to cross your legs so you don't wet your pants? Send in a tribute to your favorite comedian or just-plain-funny person in your life. How has humor made a difference in a difficult situation? Have you heard the Impatient Cow knock-knock joke? Have any books touched your funny bone? Share them with us in Books That Changed My Life. Send in a funny dream to be interpreted. Maybe it’s really a wise dream in disguise. We’d also love to have our Moody Girl be tickled pink in this issue instead of her usual cranky moods. And we’d love to have our Younger Selves delighted and amused in this issue too!
At Be Real Magazine, we know that the levity of laughter offsets the darkness of all other problems. Let’s share our lighthearted humor with one another. We’ll show you our stories if you show us yours!
Thank you for contributing to Be
Real Magazine.
You make a difference.
