You need to change things up.
A new sense of style is called-for, a new job, new digs, maybe a new outlook on everything. Out with the old, in with the new, different, exciting.

The struggle to find oneself in this world can be a mysterious and turbulent journey; and no one knows this better than the talented and versatile Tyler Perry. This month, Bluewater Productions released a new biographical comic book of the life of Perry that will be an addition to their Fame comic series, available both digitally and in print for $3.99.

Among the usual fliers, bills, and donation requests in the mail last week, there was something you haven’t seen in ages: Someone sent you a greeting card.

Action, drama, and a solid story—what more could you want from a graphic novel?

Dear Diary…
You’ve written that many times in your life. Little hurts, schoolgirl crushes, firsts, lasts, and thoughts. It’s all written in your journal so you’d see where you came from and where you’re going.

You hated your tin grin, but that wasn’t as demoralizing as acne, which was nothing compared to hormones, which wasn’t as annoying as untamable hair, which was minimal compared to your teenage self-esteem—which hovered around 5 on a 1-to-50 scale.
Still, you overcame, lived through it, and here you are. And in the new book Handbook for an Unpredictable Life by Rosie Perez, (c.2014, Crown Archetype, $26.00 / $30.00 Canada, 322 pages) you’ll read about another survivor.

Your second home is a grand one.
It’s much bigger than the house you live in during the week. No, your second home has huge windows to let in the light, fine linens, and it’s usually filled with music.

When it comes to chores around the house, you have lots of responsibility.

For as long as you can remember, there’s always been someone in your corner.

The rumblings you hear from around the office are disturbing.
Something’s happening: layoffs, downsizing, something worse, you’re not sure which. You’re afraid it’ll crumble your career. It might tear your income in half.
