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!

The creators of Be Real Magazine were befuddled this time around when it came to choosing a theme for this issue.
We threw around a couple ideas: first Passion (too scary), then
Dreams (too Oprah), then Pleasure (too SARK). But we didn't really connect with any of them.
One day before launch of the POWER issue, still befuddled, one of our staff members threw her hands up in the air and said "Let 'em write whatever they WANT to write!" Yes! And we can call it "FREE WRITE," another member chimed in.
So there you have it, a theme that isn't a theme. Wide open. Everything is up for grabs. Write stories you want to write. Write poems you want to write. Take photos and create art that you want to create. You're in charge. Whatever sings to you, sing it on over to us.
If you want some context, remember our recurring columns ALWAYS need fresh new submissions: Letters to My Younger Self, Moody Girl, Books That Changed My Life, Visualize This,
Universe Spoke To Me, and Firsts. Oh, and please keep sending in your Real Dreams, too!
Take a chance! Get out your pens and paper, write something, then send it in. We'll take it from there.
Whatcha waiting for? Send something in!
