October Edition of Black Pearls Magazine
This month we are paying tribute to Male Breast Cancer Awareness, Domestic Violence Awareness, Evaluate Your Life Day on October 19 and Make a Difference Day on October 23, 2009.

Make A Difference Day, initiated in 1990, is a national day devoted to helping others by doing volunteer work in the community. Millions of Americans participate in community improvement projects. To help you along the way, we have included 20 wonderful life improving articles in this issue. This is one of our largest issues yet! It is packed with 10 new bookclub showcases, 35 inspiring articles and over 60 author interviews.
