I'd originally only shared the card pull photo on other socials.
The original post description: Today's #Tarot card is the Six of Wands from The Witches Tarot by Ellen Cannon Reed and Martin Cannon.
Illumination, realization of bigger things, teaching, spiritual growth, humility, realization that there is a pattern to the universe. This often comes after an extremely difficult and trying period in life.
========================= From December 14, 2009 =========================
This is the promotional video received on Monday, December 14, 2009 with the subject, "Target presents Nuestra Navidad on Univsion: Dec 17 and Dec 25." This was part of the multicultural marketing by Target at the time with the TV special to be broadcast in Spanish at 9 p.m. CT Thursday, Dec. 17, on Univision. It would be rebroadcasted at 10 a.m. CT on Christmas Day.
The program featured a visit to the White House for an interview with President Obama and longtime Target partner Gloria Estefan.
Also showcased was P.S. 155 in East Harlem New York, where Target and local team members had recently renovated the library - donating thousands of books and creating an inspiring space for kids to learn, thrive and grow. The segment included interviews with Principal Lillian Ortiz, the school librarian and some very happy students, as well as holiday music performances by David Archuleta and Latin entertainer PeeWee.
The broadcast also included performances by various artists as well as a look at singer/songwriter Luis Fonsi's visit to Target House, a free home-away-from-home for families receiving long-term treatment at St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
As the sole sponsor of the program, Target ran their Spanish-language holiday TV spots, as well as their Dream in Color spot celebrating Hispanic heritage that featured Principal Lillian Ortiz and Luis Fonsi, as well as actress Elizabeth Pena and racecar driver Juan Pablo Montoya of the Target Racing Team.
This video may be a bit pixelated since I enlarged it to fit. Additionally, although I didn't record the program itself, you may be able to find some of the performances here on YouTube and likely somewhere out through the innerwebs.
I remember watching most of the program when it aired, mostly to watch Thalia's holiday song performance but didn't record any of it. The video is a little pixelated because I enlarged it.
The XIV - Grace from the Mystical Cats Tarot Deck was the card drawn on January 12th of 2023.
The card was upside-down meaning Disunion, lack of harmony. Competing interests, unfortunate combinations or alliances. Frustration, impatience.
However although it may seem like you are stalled, things really proceeding toward their proper ends and will arrive in their proper times.
- I'd originally only shared the card pull photo on other socials. For this video version I used CapCut to add a bit of flair to the photo and added the title, date, and the reading. I was originally just going to use it as is but decided that I first wanted a clear view of the card as close to the original share/post on other socials. This brought me to use my trusty old Camtasia 9 to put it all together.
What you see on this short video for the first several seconds is the card with just a tad of enhancements via Camtasia 9 then continue on to the CapCut version. All in all I think it came out pretty neat.
Although on occasion I do play with enhancements for videos/photos, particularly for my Amalgam Creative Arts channel, I most often choose none to small amounts of enhancements for No Tan Diario Chronicles. Do you like adding more or less enhancements for videos/photos?

These are photos of the volunteer event where a team of volunteers from work got together to help setup one of the many Christmas trees that are set up around the Phoenix Children's' Hospital. All the photos were taken with my camera except the last one that one of the volunteers shared.
The tree we decorated we donated and decorated was located in one of the waiting room areas.

These
are photos that I took on the first day of a series of dates where
volunteers would create ornaments that would then adorn one of the many
holiday trees that the Phoenix Children's Hospital places throughout
their facility. Volunteers had from November 30th through December 2nd
to assemble ornaments from craft kits.
Here is a video from photos I took from two work celebrations.
The first was the launch of the new mission for the department I was working in at the time. The new mission statement was, "Create guest loyalty and enhance financial performance through a branded dispute experience." We celebrated with cakes that we called Mission Momentum Cake. Here you see the photos i took of the cakes and of the printed and laminated mission statement.
The second was me celebrating ten year anniversary working at Target. The photos I took of the acknowledgement. The congratulations note was signed by the HR team, the acknowledgement by then Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel, and also included a $50 Target GiftCard.
As
usual when I went to a new to me restaurant I like to take photos.
These are the photos I took of what I believe was the first time I
enjoyed a delicious meal at Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe in Phoenix,
Arizona, USA. For this first visit we of course had to try the famous
fried chicken and pork chop.

Before, during, and after my time with the TFST Diversity Council—which would undergo several name changes in the future, including Tempe Diversity Council, Tempe Diversity & Inclusion Council, Tempe Inclusion Council, and others—there were many brown bags (talks, presentations, and the like) about different diversity, equity, and inclusion topics.
I attended many brown bags throughout the years and helped coordinate and/or assist on a few of them. What you see on this video is the tri-fold takeaway that I put together for the A GLBT Brown Bag that took place on November 02, 2010.

On the 30th of October from the year 2010, I participated in the 2010 JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes that was held at the Tempe Town Lake. I helped as part of #TargetVolunteers in selling tickets for a raffle the event organizers were doing. If I remember correctly, participants could buy a string of tickets stretching their entire height for a set price. I believe we also got to participate in the walk itself.
Because I didn't take any photos of the event, I made this video of photos from the screen capture of the email update of info for the volunteer event, the map of the event, the map of where parking was available, and a photo I took of the t-shirt we received.
The JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes from 2008, took place on November 1st of the same year. Although I wasn't able to the walk itself, I did volunteer the Sunday prior to the event to help put together packs for the event. I didn't previously create a video about this because I didn't take any photos during the volunteer event.
The only thing I had was a screen capture of the email we received from the event organizer. I then went back to my blog and found that I had posted a brief recap of various events from September through October of 2008 where I included a few sentences about this event.
Original blog post: Quick recap of October 2008... and September... → https://elkirbster.blogspot.com/2008/11/quick-recap-of-october-2008-and.html
Because No Tan Diario Chonicles is about chronicling my small life where even if there isn't a specific photo or video of an event, I decided to screen cap that piece of the blog to add along with the screen capture of the info email and make this short video to document. If ever I find photos or videos that anyone else took at this volunteer event, I may make an updated/new video for it. For now, this is what I have.
Stargate Special Edition | Main Title and Prologue: Egypt https://youtu.be/rwkUtA_dXZA
These are the two initial scenes of the Stargate Special Edition movie, the Main Title and Prologue: Egypt. The Main Title scene is the same on both the theatrical and special edition. the Prologue: Egypt scene was not in the original theatrical version and is part of what makes this special edition unique. Before sharing the two scenes separately, I had originally intended to upload them together because it's what builds excitement to watch the movie.
Although this is my last upload about for the foreseeable future about the Stargate Special Edition DVD, I hope you have enjoyed this look into this fantastic movie and its special edition DVD. May this brief look encourage you to go get yourself a copy of Stargate Special Edition DVD but most importantly watch it.
The other videos I've made from the Stargate Special Edition DVD:
This is the start of the Stargate movie, the Main Title/Scene 1, on the Stargate Special Edition DVD. The soundtrack and the visual of the Ra headpiece always gets gets me excited to watch the movie. Even as I extracted this for this post I couldn't help but watch it again.
You may notice some slight skipping on the video which I believe is due to having been in storage for a bit. Nonetheless, it is still enjoyable to watch.
