So Long 7 Cups....A Message from Laura
Hello 7 Cups,
After 5 plus years in my role, I have decided to step back from my role. It has been an absolute pleasure working with each of you and building this incredible community together. I am very proud of what we have accomplished together. I have been humbled by the opportunity to work at 7 Cups and with our community time and again. I know 7 Cups will flourish well into the future. Thank you for being on this journey with me.
My last day is Friday, October 18th.
Please come say goodbye at the following times this week:
----> Thursday, October 17 at 4PM ET
----> Friday, October 18 at 3PM ET
I will be present in both teen and adult rooms! Please meet in Laura's Office!
After this time, I will still retain my 7 Cups listener account, but will be less available. If youd like to stay in touch beyond 7 Cups, please reach out and I can share my non-7 cups email.
Thank you for being my cheerleader and teaching me so much about myself, community management, the internet, love, support, and human nature. I have greatly enjoyed our time together and look back on it fondly. This is very bittersweet.
With Gratitude,
Laura
But what will happen with the community team structure after I leave?
PS - Id love to hear from all of you. Please share a memory of working with me or sharing in community with me. This will make me smile as I say goodbye.
@Laura
Oh my god Im shocked Ive never expected this youve put so much time, and effort in this community I thought youd be here forever... This is so sad Im like literally on the verge of tears right now. Laura I know I didnt really know you personally however you are a legend around here. 6 years ago you helped Glen bring up 7 Cups, then you helped it grow, and now 6 years later here we are! Thats a amazing reputation to uphold, and I think thats why everyone here (including me) respects you so much! I dont why youre leaving, and honestly I dont need to know as its really not my business. However wherever your life takes you from here I hope its somewhere amazing with ample opportunities! You will be missed but thank you for serving 7 Cups for the past 6 years. I promise we will keep up with 7 Cups standards in your memory we will not let you down!
Sending lots of love your way, @AriannaPink
P.S. I will try to attend at least one of your goodbye parties ❤️
@Laura lots of wonderful memories and lessons. Thanks so much for all you have given to 7cups.
@Laura I think we started communicating in the early days because I wanted to see some expanded areas for the forums. Since then there have been so many changes with 7cups, some of which I loved, others which I critiqued their details. At times I think some of our communication was running on two different wavelengths! You created a more formalized role to help me channel some of that which helped. While we didn't always understand or agree each other when it came to the details I think we have always appreciated each other's efforts and desires for 7cups.
This place is so different from when I last met you and so much of that is because of the love you have put into many of the various aspects here. I wish you all the best with your next endeavour!
@Laura I've been on 7 Cups since 2014 or 2015, as both an active member and a listener. This website helped me grow as a person, and through my listener role, recognize my passion for helping others. While I don't have a specific memory to share, I wanted to say how grateful I am for the work you've done here! Your work has always been appreciated and I loved seeing you around in my Feed, in Forums, chat rooms, etc. I hope that things going forward are positive for you and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors! Thanks for being here and being such a friendly face 
@Laura
I felt so sad. 
@Laura
That was a big shock... Thank you for everything you've done for this community. It's crazy how time flies and we are not grateful or appreciated for some things.. We are all human beings. You will be missed Laura ❤️ Won't forget you ❤️ Best of luck on the new adventures in your life!
@Laura I wish you all the best for your success in the future and remember to keep inspiring
@Laura
I might still have short journey as member and now as listener. I didn't have direct connection with you yet. But i want you to know, since i learn to be active listener, i growing up mentally with practising coping skills that introduced here. And it means a lot for me. Virtual long hugs for you, Laura. Thank you for your dedication to make 7 Cups works like a magic. Somehow, i am on love with this community. I am sure you build with whole heart form very beginning till last 5 years.
@Laura!
My favourite fellow butterfly! Do you remember the Butterfly Cohort party when the elephants invaded the room! Fun times!
Laura I am a little shocked at this, but I know how wise you are and so this must be a very hard decision for you to make. I had tears in my eyes at your video. Give Coco a big hug from me and my woofies! Take care and good luck in your future endeavours!
