Have you ever felt bummed out? A lack of confidence or swagger? I’m sure we all have been there! Usually this comes from a series of tricky circumstances mixed with our own attitude. This funk can be hard to shake. I’ve noticed that one of the quickest ways out of this cycle is to dive into selfless service to others. Not just serving the folks around us who we know and love, but serving people who can’t or sometimes won’t return the favor. It’s crazy counter intuitive, but by intentionally taking the focus off ourselves and selflessly caring for others, this is the quickest way I’ve found to break the chains of self-doubt and funk. Most times I’ve found that the best solution is choosing a path that takes me away from my selfish default.
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.
