Spencerism #42: When a Relationship Is Falling Apart

Spencerisms

Have you ever felt like a relationship was falling apart? It’s easy to focus on the other person’s flaws—but changing someone else’s heart is rarely within our control. What we can do is show up as our best selves: emotionally healthy, genuinely joyful, and full of grace. That’s where real transformation begins. When your own ‘yard’ is in order, it’s amazing how healing can follow.

Gratefully,
Spence (October 2025)

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.
