Good Morning Friends, I trust you're well. To start, I'd love to ask, ' How do you live fully?' I'm leaving it open-ended as I try to expand my own awareness of what it means. I've found living presently with intention pre-child was a tool for being more fulfilled with life, yet post-child, you have no choice; you will live presently! Are there more levels? Does it just continue to evolve? Does it heighten the experience of simpler things? Does it allow you to be more ruthless when disregarding things that don't truly matter? All things I'm considering as I write. As much as it's fun being on and living all the time, I want to talk about one of its associates this morning - tranquillity. This source of peace we can access only in moments. This allows it to retain its heightened value, yet in our busy lives can be the thing we crave the most. It makes me consider the difference between busyness and fullness. Busyness sounds stressful, limited and always chasing. Fullness brings a sentiment of comfort, gratitude and satisfaction. As I build my thinking around fullness, I sense tranquillity being a source of living. I titled this piece as tranquil vibrancy as I found the contrast somewhat reassuring for guidance with how to live. Day to day. Week to week. We need to find things we can inject into our life, regardless of state, that will allow us to live fully. To live with vibrancy. I hope you enjoyed these surface-level thoughts - perhaps the start of unearthing a new path. Have a great Sunday! Best, Lawrence |

Good Morning Friends! I trust you're well. Today marks 5 years since I started this project, and in that regard, adds to the significance of today's letter. It all started with an old Mac, a headset, and a desire to share. This project has given me more than I could have imagined, and then some more. I never thought I'd connect with so many people around the world. Nor reach the depths of creativity I have. I'm saying this through pure joy, yet I'll never be able to put a price on the...
Good Morning Friends, I hope you're well. We're well into May now, and I'm truly basking in the greenness of the forest I see on the horizon each morning. I've been considering the relationship between time and meaningfulness this week, as I find spare time more fleeting yet moments more memorable. Time has become more of a commodity over recent years, yet the more you get is like money: there's no point in having so much if you don't do anything meaningful with it. We all think we want more...
Good Morning Friends, I trust you are well and basking in any sunshine that's coming your way at the moment. I had an incredibly full weekend with all the things I love in my life. One of those things was a day trip cycling round an island on the west coast of Scotland which I will share photos of throughout today's letter. The Isle of Cumbrae Some of my sporadic journaling this week has led me to consider what we want out of life. As life changes and evolves, so do our priorities, needs and...
