WBEZ 91.5 Chicago

 (Photo Credit: AndreeBelle.wordpress.com) First, this message from my daughter Paris in response to what shook down here last week.To everyone I know and do not know at all...Thank you so much for taking the time to read Grip It.

Here at Mission Amy K R, we all decided long ago that ATM stands for Always Trust Magic. We even made a video about it, remember?  Well, this week we've taking our ATM manifesto to a whole new level:  we've created spiffy wallet-size ATM cards for you!

So much can happen in a week. I was reminded that you don't always need to know where you're going before you take your first step. That the path has a tendency to properly unfold if you let it.

Don't forget to check out this week's mission: ATM: Always Trust Magic. The powers that be here at WBEZ tell me that what a new blog (like this) really needs right out of the gate is a little buzz, some swirling-about-the-internet, check-this-out chatter.

I do most of my writing at a coffeehouse in the neighborhood. I sit at the same table, same chair, facing the same direction. When I look up from my computer, I look straight out the window to an ATM across the street; that's my view.
