It's brave of you to share something like that, and I think with your experience and willingness to write about this, your content will be helpful to all.

I like how you decided to focus on a topic that you relate to. I find it a lot more easy to do research on a topic we relate to and/or interest us.

I think real-life experiences is a good factor in determining which areas one has a credibility in. That is to say, in my opinion your choices are good and backed up with a reason which can make readers find you trustworthy. <3

WendinCaring February 28th, 2021

@blissart @11820Read

I agree. The best kind of writing comes from your heart. With that being said, real-life exprience helps us create the most authentic connection with our readers. It is more like creating a heart to heart conversation.

Yes, I think one of the important things that we must take seriously is choosing healthy relationships✨

After exploring both the Current Article Topics and Content Focus Area, I think I'm a good fit for "Spirituality" and "Personal Stories" under the Current Article Topics.

Spirituality is a good choice for me not only because currently (and sadly) 7Cups lacks articles of this topic, but because I'm both religious and spiritual.

Personal Stories may be a place suitable for me to share with readers different steps in life that have shaped me into a unique person today.

As for the Content Focus Area, I regretfully cannot find any that seems to be my area of expertise. They are either something I have never had a real-life experience with or something I myself still need to learn to cope with.

Thank you for sharing - these content focus areas do not limit us as contributors so I would love to see you add this perspective - interesting fact, we are interested in seeing some religious/spirituality based growth paths so perhaps you would like to build one?

@SoulfullyAButterfly

I'd love to, thank you for suggesting this for me!

By the way, I understand you may not be the person responsible for the new Growth Path advertised some days ago, but do you happen to know if it isn't opened for everyone? I've sent a message to another listener but they haven't got back to me yet. Thank you in advance. :)

Just to clarify, I asked this because I've tried to access it but failed.

SoulfullyAButterfly OP February 27th, 2021

The Content Team will help provide great content on the paths too! I am helping out and on this link you can find an Interest Form because the builder is available only to people with some badges (CDM Graduates included) but another way to gain access is to fill in the linked Interest Form within the announcement - I would love to consider it! https://www.7cups.com/forum/SiteUpdatesInformationFortheCommunity_100/GlensNookCommunity_547/OurGrowthPathBuilderisNowAvailable_240264/

@11820Read Very interesting choice of a topic. Definitely, if something has potential to contribute to our growth, it must be explored and written about.

@11820Read

Thank you for sharing this. I agree that personal experience can influence how you write and I like that you picked out the need for this website to have more articles on spirtuality so I am glad that you pucked a topic that you are enthusiastic about.

@11820Read


That's really a great reason. We would definitely need more articles around this topic.

WendinCaring February 28th, 2021
.

There are several areas I would like to develop contents for:
Child and Adolescent (social media, substance abuse, anxiety, how to help teens), Coping Skills, Self-Esteem and Autism.

Reasons:
I went to teacher's college many years ago. After graduating from my programme, I worked with high school students for a few years. My work experience prompts me to reflect so much on a daily basis. I am interested in writing to help ease the pains of the parents of children and adolescents.
I am on the Autism Spectrum. It is natural for me to want to share also explore more on the subject of Autism.

@WendinCaring given your experience of working with students, makes sense. It will definitely help one in developing Child and adolescent related content.

KristinHelps March 9th, 2021

@WendinCaring These are great areas to have interests in for developing content. Working with experience is incredible and the ability to learn and grow with the content and spreading new things will be great for the community.

I appreciate your topics of interest and it is quite nice that you can offer support via content based on your individual story.

@WendinCaring

i think this is an awesome topic that we need more of the child and adolescence topic! great work on the reasons. i would love to read this article!

@SoulfullyAButterfly

1) Grief and Loss:- Mainly because it can have deep and long lasting impact(s) if not handled well.

2) Self-esteem:- It is a very common issue and at times misunderstood. At times self-esteem overlaps with narcissism too. So, boundaries for healthy self-esteem need to be established.

FinleyTews March 3rd, 2021

@DonaldDraper I am interested in seeing you elaborate about boundaries concerning self-esteem and how it overlaps with narcissism. Hope you will write about it one day!

@DonaldDraper i look foward to reading your chosen topics if they get written donald lovely choices too

@DonaldDraper

That's very true - the field of grief is not always appreciated enough - and I feel like it needs more people to take the helm.

@DonaldDraper

I can see that you have emphasised the importance of these two topics and am looking forward to see you describe these topics too! :)
