Amazingly, American buffalo are one of the only herd animals who turn and walk into a storm, strategically shortening the duration of their exposure. Most cattle move away from the incoming storm, causing them to be in the storm even longer.
What a great analogy for life. When change and fear come our way, do we turn and go into the storm to address it immediately? Or do we move away from the fear, keeping us in the fear much longer?
Be the buffalo!
Gratefully,

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.
