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 I wish you nothing but the best and I hope whatever it is that you are doing works out great !! Good Luck ! 
All the best @Laura
@Laura Wow Laura! I wish you the best on whatever your next journey may be! Thank you so much for all your support. It has meant a great deal to me and I know it means a great deal to everyone else in the 7 Cups family! Goodbye and stay beautiful!

Hello Ms:Laura,"A big thank you" for everything you did here.I have personally learned a lot from this site,and to say I have learned much would be an understatement.Your work as the Community director has been essential for the growth of this site.The fact that this site has grown by 'leaps and bounds' is a "testament to your talent and dedication" in your role;and I can only applaud you for the same 👏🏾😁.5years of managing people I would imagine is a 'pretty demanding' activity mentally and you Ma'am have done that really well (I would say 'really well to every other person working on this site because a puzzle can only be whole or good when all pieces are present).All I can say is I wish you Ma'am all goodness in everything you do post your retirement from this role........... Regards-Ismail :)

@Laura I would just like to extend my gratitude for the work you have accomplished here building and maintaining this community. I don't think we ever did get to speak direcetly but I did admire your accomplisments here from afar. Whether it was a simple or important reminder on my forum feed, or an innovation on the site- I did look up to your leadership here. This site has become an integral part of my evolving character in the last five years, so I thank you for your dedication. I hope wherever your road leads you it is open to beautiful sights, friendly people, and more success. Take care!
