A T M

I created this brand to serve as a reminder, to bridge the gap between our intentions and our actions. We experience numerous joyous moments in our life and at times don't fully appreciate them. Through the highs and the lows, know that the true ATM in life is to Appreciate The Moment, every moment that comes at you. Life is a journey not a destination."Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." -Matthew 6:34

WHY A WRISTBAND?

Because the reminder needs to be with you everywhere you go.I wanted something simple. Something that didn't preach at you but give you that Spirit-lead nudge every time you look down at your wrist, whether in traffic, at work, in a hard moment or in a great one.That's it. That's the whole brand.

ATMMy name is Darryl Rogers, founder of Appreciate The Moment, LLC.ATM came from a word God gave me when I was stressing financially amongst other things. I would find myself being upset about my situation, when someone was probably praying for the life I have. I've been blessed enough to be in corporate positions I wasn't qualified for, but my mind tend to always want more/focus on the things that I don't have, hence the stress.For about 2-3 years not knowing what to do with this ATM idea, the more I noticed I needed it in my daily life. Just speaking about it changed my mood and made me want to focus on the good in my life and show gratitude while getting better. I felt like more people are probably just like me and need a daily reminder, so I thought about what would someone wear everyday.I remembered those WWJD wristband and how convenient they were and how everyone was wearing them, so I wanted to do something similar. I plan to expand ATM apparel in the future, but Appreciate The Moment isn't about selling merchandise, it's a movement, its about spreading a message that God gave me and me being obedient to that. Another verse I associate with the brand is "Don't worry about anything but pray about everything." -Phil 4:6I pray that this brand, this movement, this lifestyle can help save a billion people, in Jesus name. Amen

Future ATM Plans

Ever since the bakery on 66th & Ashland was demolished in Chicago in the middle to late 90's. As a 9 to 10 year old boy I've always dreamt of having a community center and putting it right there in its place in the Englewood Community. On my way home from school I used to walk pass the area and just day dream about it.This vision is something I plan to work towards to turn to a reality. I'm sure this will be a multi-million dollar project but I'm believing God will fund it.With the help of AI, I was able to make some renditions of what I would want it to look like.This ATM community center would bring jobs, help bring the community together, help lower the overall crime rate and be the starting point to appreciating the value of the area.

On another side of things. I would do this project in 3 or more phases.I would like to stay in the Englewood community but I'd be open to other disadvantaged neighborhoods.Also, I would be open to having smaller community centers in different areas around Chicago. Putting ATM's everywhere.Come be part of the movement. #appreciatethemoment
