Isn’t our first reaction to make sure the world sees our best? And to make sure nobody sees areas where we struggle? This façade is a game we’ve all been playing since the cruel battlefield of middle school. This game however, only works to alienate us from others and stifle our creativity. It takes real courage to be vulnerable and expose our weakness, but doing so unlocks deep connection with others, acceptance to fail, and true joy. Go ahead and live your authentic life, knowing that we are all on a messy road. Let’s enjoy it together.
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.
