To the beautiful women who make up this (in)courage community– thank you.
Thank you for being souls who crave friendship. Who crave community. Who are opening your homes and hearts this weekend to women you haven’t yet met.
We are praying for your time together.
And squeeee!!! Can you believe we are 3 days away from our first ever (in)RL event?? We can hardly contain our excitement. {squeee!!!}
If you haven’t registered yet, it’s not too late – just click the button!
This is how you’ll gain access to the webcasts so it’s important that you register! It’s only $10 and you will receive an (in)RL T-shirt and Simply Marvelous Card Pack.
And with 466 meetups happening across the globe, there is sure to be a group of women getting together near you. Check out the meetup map here.
Don’t see a meetup in your area? Feel free to invite a friend, neighbor or family member over to join you. If you decide to curl up on the couch with hot chocolate and watch them by yourself, that’s fine too!
You may still be on the fence about jumping on the (in)RL bandwagon. If that’s the case, watch this very last sneak peek video. It’s the one that has the heart, soul and tears of 17 (in)courage writers all wrapped up in it.
See below or just click here to watch the (in)RL keynote:
“How Community Can Make or Break Us.”

Some helpful handouts, tips and FAQs:
- Host tips, encouragement, prayers, and checklists to help you enjoy every moment of your (in)RL Meetup – click and download here.
- If you are hosting, please read through this technology checklist. It might just save the day!
- (in)RL flair for your table– click and download here.
- Let’s all keep in touch on Twitter and Instagram this week with hashtag #inRL – think of it as your online 24/7 support network.
- Wondering how in the world you login to watch the webcasts? We’ll be sending an email out today to everyone who’s already registered and everyone else will find their login instructions in their registration confirmation email.
- The Beach House in a Box Kits and Guest Giveaway Kits are sadly, no longer available. This is due to the time it takes to ship the products to you— orders now just wouldn’t make it to your (in)RL Meetup on time.

We’re excited, you guys. Want to share one thing in the comments you’re most excited about?
Come one, come all and come just as you are!
With much love,

Lisa-Jo@thegypsymama says
Oh we like a little jumping up and down with excitement ourselves!! 🙂

Courtney F. says
SO excited about curling up on the couch in my pj’s with yummy snacks and watching the webcasts Friday night, and then waking up Saturday morning knowing that I am about to head out to meet up with my (in)RL girls for an afternoon of real life, watching and discussing the webcasts, watching our kids play, and just “being” together.
Libby says
The minute I saw the post “3 days” I thought SQUEEE! 🙂 we’re all thinking the same.
Lisa-Jo@thegypsymama says
Super sized SQUEEE!
Nacole@sixinthesticks says
i am excited, even if i end up watching alone–it will be sad to be alone–you know, since the whole idea is community {i just may invite my grandmother, Lisa-Jo} but no one has told me they are coming–only maybes. so hoping it turns out better than i think! happy thinking about all the soul-enriching encouragement i will receive from watching! heading over to register now. thank you for all the work you’ve all put into this!
Lisa-Jo@thegypsymama says
Invite your grandmother or tune in from home – either way you WON’T be alone because we’ll all be watching and tweeting together 🙂
Val says
Nacole–
I’m feeling similar achey heart-feelings here. I had been so excited about a chance to step out and do community, and the people I invited aren’t wanting to or able to make it (it’s a busy weekend in our community too, which is part of the issue). BUT I’m hoping and praying that the incourage ladies and God are going to meet me there too.
Reese says
I am joining you all in prayer for each meet-up. Tulsa Ok is in the house! wut-wut. I can’t wait to meet my group of girls. : )
Lisa-Jo@thegypsymama says
Way to represent!
Mica says
I am registered but have to go out of town unexpectedly this weekend. Will the videos be available anytime so that I can view them as I have time? Thanks
Lisa-Jo@thegypsymama says
You can watch them from anywhere this weekend. But after Sunday they will be available to purchase as a DVD kit.
Debbie says
Would love to be apart of this but I’m unable to get with a meet up group. If I register can I still join in by myself and how?
Lisa-Jo@thegypsymama says
Sure can! Just register here and we’ll email you the login info and you can get cosy in your PJs and enjoy watching from home – no problem!

Debbie says
Never mind…I think I got it 🙂
Michelle Derusha says
Love the video, Deidra (my kids did, too!)
Jen says
Can you sign up even if you’re not a blogger or commenter on the site?
Lisa-Jo@thegypsymama says
Yes ma’am – absolutely! Everyone is welcome!
Marina Bromley says
I LOVE the photo of all of you!!
I don’t know how I missed it earlier in the week – it’s been a crazy one at that – on top of trying to be on top of the fun stuff for inRL!
Can’t wait to try some more of Saul’s coffee sometime. 🙂 WITH SUGAR
Praying for all of you and all that inRL brings to women around the globe!!
