The leaves have been changing color, although they are browner than they are red, orange, or yellow. Fall is coming to a close which means that soon, besides the snow and ice there will be nothing on the trees to captivate our attention.

Snow has been falling intermittently blanketing everything in white, but it does not stay for very long. Winter is not here quite yet, even though with each snowfall the snow sticks to the ground just a little bit longer.

Frost has been tinting the grass a green which pales in comparison to how vibrant it was only a month or two ago. Although the frosty green is quite appealing, it is a sign that soon the grass is going to die for the winter leaving us with even more brown.

The sunsets and sunrises occur closer together and within a time frame that more of us can enjoy them. So seeing as the colors surrounding us are in such a massive transition, the celebration of color in HUEVEMBER could not be better timed.

HUEVEMBER is a month-long art challenge where artists around the world and across mediums follow prompts to create color themed art every day of the month. Although every artist interprets the challenge in their own way there are a few standards which are followed. Due to the fact that this is supposed to be a challenge, artists attempt to feature a different color every day they participate. Many artists will also use this challenging period to do more than use an abundance of color. Artists who use color in their work on an everyday basis have been known to step outside of their comfort zone and use a new medium or even test colorful art supplies during this challenge.

The video I included in this article linked here, is a prime example of how the challenge is a celebration of color. Although I had heard of Kasey Golden before thanks to Adam and Steph from the youtube Doodle Date this was one of the first videos of hers that I watched. Kasey's channel features a lot of art challenges from style swaps to following the 500 prompts books.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
