Favorite Quotes/Mottos I Live By:   "Just When the Caterpillar Thought the World Was Over, It Became a Butterfly", "Where Words Fail, Music Speaks"-Hans Christian Andersen, "Be the Change You Wish to See in the World"-Mahatma Gandhi

I feel so blessed for this opportunity to connect with people around the world with whom I have so much in common. I have noticed we are all a bit optimistic, we believe in humanity, we believe in kindness, we believe in a better tomorrow.  






We are all here because we believe that kind word even from a stranger can make a change. And it Can!  





You never know fully what impact you have on another human being! Did you save relationships today? Did you save someone's career? someone's life? health? friendship? We never will know for sure, however, I have certainty that you changed someone's day, someone's life today.  





Today is (05/12/2021 or whatever the date is when you are reading this). It is a unique day. There will be 05/13/2021 / 05/12/2022,2023 etc but never again 05/12/2021😊






And we had the opportunity to live this day, for one reason or another. Maybe it is so we can tell our grandchildren about this day, maybe today is the day you start feeling better, maybe today is the day you are finally able to accomplish something you couldn't before, maybe today is the day you finally are able to love yourself exactly the way you are, maybe today is the day you feel completely carefree and grounding, maybe today is the day.................😊  





I hope I can help make this unique day better for you, to enjoy this day, to feel loved, supported, heard, understood, and whatever it is you may need to make this day all the more unique and special. The day which will never happen again in the history of humanity

So, I want to thank each one of you for being here, for giving me the opportunity to listen to you, for having the courage to be vulnerable, honest, and giving me an insight into whatever you may be feeling/thinking/experiencing, and ultimately giving me the chance to not only be a part of this unique day in your life but giving me the chance to make someone's day better.





Each chat I get the fortunate opportunity to have whether it is with a member or listener is my chance to be present and listen to your valuable, unique, important, and personal story. Remember you are never alone; you matter and are needed in this world. 


If the circle on my profile picture is red, I am either offline, busy, or not taking chats even if I am on the site. Feel free to leave a message and I will get back to you when I can. If I respond expect responses to be delayed.

If the circle is orange, I'm working on something, or I am in a chatroom. Again, feel free to try me as I likely will be able to respond, but responses will be delayed.

If it's green, I am here and I can take chats. If I have a time limit, I will let you know. If for some reason your first message the response isn't quick, I am probably away from the computer for a moment (though I usually try to switch to yellow) or your chat got buried which sometimes happens randomly. Please give me some time and I will respond as soon as possible.

*I am open to taking all types of chats as long as they are within the appropriate terms of service according to 7 Cups of Tea. However, I reserve the right to let you know that I might not feel like I am the best person to handle a chat and will do my best to help find a listener who I feel would be better suited. 

* If you plan on being inappropriate and cannot adhere to the terms of service please do both of us a favor and do not attempt to message me. You will be reported and blocked as I take my roles on 7 Cups serious and do not have any time or desire to engage in these types of situations on here. 

*I have checked off multiple different issues I am comfortable providing support, but the ones that I feel most adapted to handle include: Anxiety, Borderline (BPD), Relationships, Bullying, Chronic Illness/Pain, Depression, Panic Attacks/Disorders, Disability, Domestic Violence, General Mental Health, Loneliness, Managing Emotions, Body Image Issues, and Women's Issues.

*My chats are typically 30-60 minutes long unless agreed to something different.

*I am able to do offline chats as well as live chats through scheduled chats, and inquiring if I am able to talk outside of that set time when my status is online. 

*My time zone is EST. Here is a Time Zone Converter https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?p1=179 (Please Note Eastern Time is New York Time when you are using the converter)

"Where Words Fail, Music Speaks"
IDG 7 Cups Community Hub / by Ivy229

...See more Hi fellow IDG members, In this post I would like to discussion one of my favorite music quotes and how it relates to inner development growth. Music is truly one of the most universal languages in the world and has the power to transcend across all barriers of communication.  The famous quote by Hans Christian Andersen, "Where Words Fail, Music Speaks" does just that in a simple yet powerful quote.                                                   Some of the ways music connects with inner development growth includes music can help express thoughts, feelings, emotions, bridges the gap where one person can connect with a person deep down in the most vulnerable parts of your soul, it can stimulate the mind, and even alter our mood. All these aspects can lead to increased self-awareness and personal growth.  Additionally, it makes sense why music therapy is a specialized form of treatment apart from the traditional method of talk therapy. Some of the reasons behind this is because it provides comfort during good moments just as well as the most challenging and darkest moments a person can go through. It motivates you to work out, to relax, to feel better when you are down, inspire and help contempt life decisions.  In essence, music can speak to us in ways that words sometimes cannot. ------------------------- Discussion Questions: Can you share a personal experience where music helped you express or understand your emotions when words fell short? How do you think music contributes to personal development and growth? Can you provide examples from your own life or observations? I look forward to seeing your answers and learning how this post and music helps you connect and your inner development growth.

HOPE: "Just When The Butterfly Thought The World Was Over, It Became A Butterfly"
IDG 7 Cups Community Hub / by Ivy229
Last post
 August 25th
...See more Hi fellow IDG members,  I would like to talk about why 'Hope' is one of the most important values/strengths/beliefs to me and my life. Hope is one of the things that has gotten me through the darkest times in my life. Hope to me symbolizes so much. Such as the idea that what maybe happening is not permanent, the possibility of being better.                                           Hope reminds me of one of my favorite quotes about change and life transformation. The following quote is one of the most perfect ways of describing my life journey. Hope was one of these things that I have had and relayed on even when there was no hope. For a long time I would describe myself as someone who was hopelessly hope; even when I did not know what hope truly meant and was capable of.  Another reason I live this quote so much is because my spirit animal is a butterfly. Moreover, the butterfly serves as a powerful, beautiful, inspirational symbol among so many diverse communities, cultures, aspects of humanity. Some of the meanings of the butterfly include: transformation, rebirth, spirituality, freedom, bravery, strength and optimism. Hope is what gives us the courage to confront uncertainty with a positive mindset. ------------------------- Discussion Questions: Reflect on a moment in your life when you felt like the caterpillar. How did you emerge from that period, and what was your ‘butterfly’ moment? How can embracing the concept of change as a natural and necessary part of life alter our perspective during challenging times? ------------------------- Remember, hope is not just about expecting the best to happen, but it's about believing that we have the ability to make it happen. It's about trusting in our capabilities and potential, and knowing that no matter what comes our way, we have the strength and resilience to overcome it. Hope is about believing in ourselves, in others, and in the future. It's a powerful value to hold, and it can truly transform our lives. Feel free to share your thoughts or experiences related to this quote and how hope has impacted your own personal life journey! 🌟✨
