This site launched on 2025-01-20. Exactly one year later it had 875 files of which 688 were notes and 187 were images. I'm happy and grateful that you are here. And also a little bit amazed that you found me. It has to have been through word of mouth (the very best way) because I don't write anywhere else, I don't promote this site on social media, and I haven't made it accessible to search engines. If you want to talk with me, and I hope you do, I'm happy to chat, easy to reach, [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]?subject=Saw%20your%20website), and will always reply. (Or if you're in LYT, feel free to DM me.) > [!leaf] Please note that my site is AI-free, as is my life, at least to the extent that I can make it so. - [[Why Profound Journey?]] - [[What's with the Turtle?]] - [[Mary Oliver's Poem]] - [[Quotes and Poems]] ## Navigating Profound Journey ![[Images/Vault Structure for PJ Jan 2026.png|400]] I assume you'll bop around and explore what interests you. If you want navigation aids, you'll find them in the Instructions for Life folder. Upfront in that folder, there's a major MOC for each of the folders: [[Pay Attention MOC]], [[Be Amazed MOC]] and [[Tell About It MOC]]. They are a good place to start. Every note on this site has an Up link to a map of content. It bugs me when I don't know if something I read online is current or a dozen years old. So every note, with the exception of quote files and MOCs, also has the date the note was created and when it was last updated. New notes or updates to existing ones are listed below with the most recent entries at the top. At the end of the month, the list gets filed in Instructions for Life and this Welcome page will have the new month. # New and Updated - [[Where Does Maladaptive Perfectionism Come From?]] - [[The Paradox of Perfection]] (updated) - [[Perfectionism Can be Adaptive or Maladaptive]] (updated) - [[Perfectionism]] (updated) - [[All-or-Nothing]] - [[Find a Contemplative Creative Practice]] - [[Ashok Bedi's Ideas for Overcoming Addiction]] - [[Be in Your Body]] - [[Reassurance from Mary O'Malley]] - [[Ways to Work with a Compulsion at the Beginning of a Wave]] - [[What Addicts Need to Let Go Of - Ashok Bedi's Long List]] - [[All Addictions Are the Same]] - [[Find the Metaphor at the Root of an Addiction or Behaviour]] (updated) - [[When a Spark isn't Satisfied]] (updated) - [[Identify the Spark of a Compulsion]] (updated) - [[Addiction or Compulsion?
