Think of all the times in life when we wished/hoped/prayed for something we KNEW would be the best for us – only to have it all fall through. We were crushed and devastated in that moment. But as time moved on and we could see that event in the context of how the rest of our life played out, we began to see that what we thought we wanted would have been a roadblock to our growth and flourishing. Next time we’re in one of those moments where we feel we KNOW what we want to happen, let’s try putting aside our desires and approaching the situation in ‘neutral.’ Simply a curious expectation of where the next chapter in your life will lead you. It may turn out to be better than we dreamed!
Gratefully,
Spence (October 2024)
One day back in 2022, Spencer said in a staff meeting, “I want to think of a way to make billing a little nicer for our clients. Nobody likes to open a bill, especially for architectural services.” And thus, Spencerisms were born. That’s an internal name we initially gave these short notes Spencer writes to our clients each month, if they receive a bill. The name stuck, only because we couldn’t think of anything else that fit. We hope you’ll enjoy these bits of encouragement (or simple thoughts) Spencer shares each month.
