A Bittersweet Goodbye
Dearest 7 Cups Community,
Its with mixed feelings that I am officially announcing that my time as Community Manager here at 7 Cups will be ending. I was offered an exciting new role with another organization and have accepted. My last day here as Community Manager will be next Friday, March 29th.
My time here over the past year and a half has been exciting, challenging and extremely rewarding. Ive learned so much from all of you and have valued leading the group support rooms and teen community. The one constant with 7 Cups is that things are constantly changing and evolving. Change can be hard to deal with and its ok to be scared or unsure. I am leaving you in good hands with @Laura, @Jill7Cups and @Heather225 (and Tuna).
Here is my advice and (unsolicited) wisdom:
- Approach change with an open mind and remember that nothing is set in stone and everyones feelings are valid, even when you may disagree.
- Be nice to everyone. You never know what someone is going through on the other side of the computer or phone screen.
- Be patient with the Community Managers. They see you and they care about you even if they dont answer your PM as fast as they would like to.
- Its ok to take time for self-care. I mean it. Go outside. Your roles will be here when you come back.
- No Cupsing in class.
Even after next Friday, I will still have access to this account so please stop by and say hi sometimes, send me a silly cat photo or a llama-related item you happen to come across.
