Linux bash to find files and exlude permission denied

So this is another of those "post to self" notes.
Lots of times you need to search for a file or directory under a user account and get this long list of "Permission Denied" entries back.

The below find command will exclude those.

Terminal command to find a directory with name image: 
find / -name image -type d 2>&1 | grep -v "Permission denied"
