Spirit Day 2010! ~ 20 October 2010

Spirit Day!

=========================

From October 20, 2010

=========================

These are photos that I took on Spirit Day 2010! The first ever Spirit Day. 

The first seven photos are of a rainbow were taken from my vehicle on the way to work. The last three photos are the group photo taken with my camera at my then place of employment, #TargetTempe.

What is spirit day?

From Wikipedia: Spirit Day is an annual LGBTQ awareness day observed on the third Thursday in October. Started in 2010 by Canadian teenager Brittany McMillan, it was initially created in response to a rash of widely publicized bullying-related suicides of gay school students in 2010, including that of Tyler Clementi. Promoted by GLAAD, observers wear the color purple as a visible sign of support for LGBTQ youth and against bullying during National Bullying Prevention Month, as well as to honor LGBTQ victims of suicide.

From GLAAD https://glaad.org/spiritday 

#SpiritDay is the world’s most visible anti-bullying movement inspiring LGBTQ youth, especially transgender and nonbinary youth to live their lives in their truth and authenticity.

Autumn Flowers! ~ 16 October 2010

Autumn Flowers!
=========================
From October 16, 2010
=========================

These are photos I took on the 16th of October of 2010. Curiously the title I'd given the folder for these was. "Fall Flowers." My younger self used 'fall' to mean autumn. As I've gotten older, I much prefer to use 'autumn'."

Magnolia Grove Crystals & Gifts!

=========================

From February 04, 2026

=========================

This is a collage of the photos and short video that I took at recently at this recently opened crystal store!  

Magnolia Grove Crystals & Gifts is a true sanctuary for the senses. Walking in feels like entering a peaceful and thoughtfully arranged world. The air carries the gentle scent of incense from their plentiful variety, along with a wonderful collection of handmade candles, lovely soaps and jewelry, and a delightful selection of teas.

For anyone curious about crystals and stones, they have a tremendous selection. This shop is more than a store; it is a destination for meaningful gifts and personal treasures, all made with clear intention and care. It is an absolute gem.

They are located at 377 E Main St, Eagle Pass, TX 78852

As this year draws to and end...

 As this year draws to and end, I've realized that although I have uploaded more videos this year than before, particularly in the first half of the year. The idea is to at some point make that gap from videos from past years to current ones be less far apart. At my current pace, it may be several years before that happens. Additionally, I didn't upload as many videos to the 📟 Analog to Digital: A Time Warp Journey playlist as I'd hoped. I've decided to look at this as an exciting opportunity for the new year. Here's hoping the new year will be filled with many more videos.
