When Beyonce graces the cover of next month's Essence magazine, she doesn't just cover it, she wrote the article, too...
From USA Today
Beyoncé isn't sitting for a traditional, one-on-one interview for the July issue of Essence.
She's writing her own cover story - titled Eat, Play, Love! In it, the superstar shares how a nine-month break reignited her creativity and renewed her soul.
"I had talked about taking a vacation before, but always ended up in the studio after two weeks, so no one believed me. This time, though, I was serious. I was going to give myself a year to do the things I never get to do. Simple things like play with my nephew, pick him up from school, visit museums, go to concerts, see some Broadway shows, learn to cook a meal and spend time with my husband (Jay-Z). ...
"Yes, I needed some relaxation, but I wanted inspiration too, from regular, everyday things. They did not have to be over-the-top productions. I was looking for tiny moments that would speak to my heart and make me smile.
