Hello! And a warm welcome to my blog. Here you will find information about Shamans, Shamanism, shamanic practice, personal development, personal growth and yes; the answer to the question: “What is a Black Shaman?” I realize that some people might think that a Black Shaman is something bad – something to do with black magic.

Absorb and radiate happiness
Happiness is a point of view. A strong statement I know, but true nonetheless. Even if it were not true, then it can still be seen as an “anchor thought” and used to help bring stability to your life and mind. I suggest that even if you do not believe this particular definition of happiness, [...]
A visual search engine.
Yesterday I wrote about TurboScout; my favorite ‘multi’ search engine. Today I will be introducing a “visual search engine” – Quintura. So, what is Quintura? I quote from the Quintura blog: In December 2007, Quintura was named the Alternative Search Engine of the Year 2007 by AltSearchEngines.com. Today, Charles Knight, the editor of AltSearchEngines, has [...]
What is your soul attracting?
“The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors; that which it loves, and also that which it fears.” – James Allen: Author and lecturer on personal and business productivity Yesterday I wrote this post: “We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.” – Orison Swett Marden Today’s post is along similar lines, partly because [...]
Moving account of "Life as a Foster Child"
Today I came across this moving account of “Life as a Foster Child” It contains many key insights about Fostering and its impact upon people.
Which search engine to use?
I remember the days BEFORE Google. I remember the days when Google started. I recall being an early adopter of Google, despite the scoffs of others who were set on using what they had always used. Today, I still love Google….. Swoon. But….. At times I need to see what other search engines have to [...]
"We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves." – Orison Swett Marden
What do you really think of yourself deep down? This is one of the most important questions that you will ever ask yourself. “We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.” – Orison Swett Marden And yet it can for many people be extremely difficult to answer. The reason for this is that many [...]

This post is about free online study resources; some even at university level. The post also covers some of my background and insights which I hope people, including parents, will find helpful.

Your email address should belong to you, not your internet service provider (ISP).
For most people online, their email address is a vital component of life. So much hinges on it. It surprises me that so many people are still using the email address provided by their Internet service provider (ISP). I stopped using mine in the 1990′s, when I started using domain based email. Still others use [...]
Good source of inexpensive images
Within the last week I have written two other posts with a graphics theme. One was about a great source of ClipArt and the other about a free image resizing program. Good quality images can make all the difference to a website. I always ensure that I put a lot of effort into picking the [...]
Lateral thinking with a twist!
I chuckled when I saw this article about a hot new trend on Gizmodo: Swedish Town Using Cremation Heat to Warm Houses While you are there, be sure to check out the comments section.

Learning about business from smart people.
I like smart people. I can learn so much from them. It makes my life easier – cruisier. Too many people like to try and pull others down a peg or two. Here in Australia we have what is called the “tall poppy syndrome“. It is a shame, and very counter productive. It can even [...]
