As we tinker with various fad diets that seem to be never ending to control our weight or reduce inflammation, etc., I’ve found only one thing brings back energy and that’s exercise.
As a former collegiate athlete, I figured I’d always be in shape, but after a couple of kids and starting a business, I found myself unable to do even a few pushups! (I’m glad no one was there to watch.)
My path back to being in shape was “simple and easy” (I swear!):
1. No longer than 10 minutes
2. Repeat EVERY weekday morning
3. Simple exercise you enjoy at home (no equipment)
4. Get your heart rate up, heavy breathing and break a sweat. (Also called “the red zone” where your body wants to stop.)Sound too good to be true? It works — time is on your side. You can do it and enjoy it.
I’ve heard it said, “Diet is for weight control, exercise is the fountain of youth.”
Gratefully,
Spence

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.
