I'd like to introduce you to the wisdom and world of VinnieQ. You'll find information on spirituality, photography, painting, mac-os, marketing and advertising there.

From the page: "When you speak of a path, where are you now? And where do you want to go? If these are known, then we can talk of a path. Know first where you are and what you are. There is nothing to be reached. There is no goal to be reached. There is nothing to be attained. The conception that there is a goal and a path to it is wrong. We are the goal or peace always. You are the Self. You exist always. Sri Ramana Maharshi"

Writing and StumbleUpon can be very illuminating to each of us. What you choose to add and what you write show you what is important in your life. Many may be amazed to realize it is not even close to what they THINK is important to them and only the few are currently living a life that reflects it.

Most of us do not realize we are doing what we are "supposed" to do - not what our true purpose is. Any time a thought includes the word "should" it is someone else's thought and not your own.

To find true bliss we must integrate all of the different personas we think we are and live true to our heart's desire. Anyone's StumbleUpon blog is a record of what they are focusing on and may point the way to what they are really called to do.

The easy way to find out if a stumbler is likely to be a friend is to use the tag cloud feature in their profile. Ezras tells us that he is interested in art, painting, people, photography, stumblers, classic-rock, and much more.

By looking at our own tag clouds we can see what we are focusing on - and what we may consider in conflict with others - and thereby learn much about ourselves. Knowing ourselves is an early step on the path to freedom. We each have more courage than we realize and it will take courage to change our lives to live our bliss.

Do not too quickly dismiss this as impossible. It will require enormous changes. We can start with those we can accept and move to those we once "knew" could never be done. All things are possible with sufficient desire and belief.

Don't let that crazy Avatar scare you; Chris is a good guy who has the great GoogleTutor site at googletutor.com [googletutor.com] that I previously reviewed. If you want to know about anything Google you'll want to check it out. If you think his sense of humor is wild check out some of his other reviewers - especially docbarleycorn.stumbleupon.com [docbarleycorn.stumbleupon.com] - but only visit DocBarleyCorn if you are not sensitive to adult language and very incorrect humor.

Judibug has so many endearing images I couldn't choose just one. Visit her for many more. Major topics she covers are stumblers, photography, painting, humor, gardening, and animals.





Want to know how to use multiple images, or an image and an excerpt, or images, excerpts, and comments in your StumbleUpon blog? I wrote up how I do it at ppcthink.com/2007/10/08/using-stumbleupon-photoblog-it/ [ppcthink.com/2007/10/08/using-stumbleupon-photoblog-it/]

Just as that deer is curious, the curious will want to visit this dear at csforest.stumbleupon.com [csforest.stumbleupon.com] for awesome photos of nature, wildlife and horses.

I love this little tidbit all SU users can use, found at the top of her blog: "Sticky Post: Please don't link images directly from this blog. Out of fairness to the artist or photographer who created the work, please click the image to go to their site and use the "StumbleUpon PhotoBlog It!" feature (or at least include a regular link and web site name with the image). This will link directly to their site so credit for the works won't be lost and their name and web site will stay with the image.

No, it's not "stealing" bandwidth to hotlink to someone's image as long as you include an "a href" link and credit that sends traffic to their main site. After all, that's why they have a web site, so people will visit it. Just make sure people can find it!"



Clicking the first, small deer image takes you to http:Csforest.stumbleupon.com. Clicking the Doe and fawn image takes you to many more deer photos in the Flickr account of deerlvr.

If you want to know how to use an image and send the link elsewhere visit my blog at ppcthink.com [ppcthink.com] for my post on how to use the StumbleUpon PhotoBlog It! tool to add images and photos here.

Welcome to a new stumbler with some awesome images and a great "handle".

I don't know how I never came across this stumbler before; we have lots of related interests and content.
