Sunisshiningandsoareyou's Group Appreciation Corner 🌞
Hello lovely people coming across this thread !
As some of you may be aware this is a part of the GLDD course , and while it's something the students have to do in order to complete graduation requirements, I really do feel blessed for this opportunity and I'd also admit, this idea was prominent in making me want to join the course !
7 cups being the amazing place as it is, time and again, almost each day, I come across someone who inspires me to be a better version of myself , who encourages me to keep going, who makes me feel valued for being here somehow , there's so many people here , who do so much for the community ,in various ways , some are extremely visible ways to show contribution while some work behind the scenes and not much 'visible ' contribution , but to each its own and everyone , each one here deserves acknowledgement and appreciation for their presence !
Super glad to have this opportunity to honor some people whom I've come across and who's presence has created an impact for me !
Through this appreciation corner , I really want to give a big shout out to everyone for being here and being a lovely part of 7 cups community !
You're seen, you're heard , you're acknowledged and you're appreciated !
Without further adieu hehe , I'll be mentioning some names each week, to remind them that I appreciate them and I value their presence so much!
Thankyou for being here , EVERYONE !!
Week #1
@GlenM - Any appreciation post on 7 cups will be incomplete without honoring you first . You've probably heard it many times , but the good people should get to listen again and again, that they are good and super appreciated ! Thankyou Glen, the kind intent with which y'all came up with 7 cups of tea - everyone to have someone! That's such a beautiful thought, before coming here I've always wanted to be this "someone" for everyone, and I truly applaud you for giving me and so many others , so many "someones" . Big thankyou for all that you do for us , for bringing so many amazing people at one place and for contributing to humanity , it's very very appreciated! ❤
@ASilentObserver - When I think of "leader" , the elephant profile picture flashes before my eyes , you Obziee are a true leader on the site , I am certain alot of people look upto you simply because of how you are and how you work along the ropes , you make it all look so easy and simple , simple to be a community manager, a 7 cups leader , an encouraging support! Can't thankyou enough for all the support and encouragement you've shown to me, it really does mean alot ! Continue being fabulous, you make 7 cups a better place for us ! Thankyou ❤
@MidnightRaven999 - Heya Raven , your smiley profile picture is so comforting , always always keep smiling ! You are one of the first "leaders " on the site, I talked to, or rather to whom I reached out to when I experienced my first traumatic chat lol, the chat caught me off guard, I was scared , I was terrified, almost wanting to leave cups ...but you were there, you listened to me, you responded , you assured me everything will be fine ...and I went along, everything will be fine ! You may not remember this hehe, which is fine , but I do and I always will, thankyou for your kindness and patience ! You're a remarkable presence on the site ! ❤
@Laura - I know it might not look feasible to tag someone who's not really active around , but omigosh , this would be so very incomplete without mentioning you, I am not sure if you'll ever come across this, but I hope you do, because you need to know what a fierce impact you've created on the site , go to any forum, you'll see Laura's posts and these are a powerhouse , you are a powerhouse, I feel so immensely disappointed sometimes to not get the chance to meet you hehe, but here's a teeny bit of appreciation for all your time and efforts for the 7 cups community, you've left the place, but you're still somehow always around and we feel grateful for your support to the community In countless ways ! Thankyou ❤
@Hope - Hello Hope , you deserve every bit of appreciation for all that you do for the 7 cups community, specially with the internship community and now overseeing the Academy, you are truly deserving of the Dean badge and it sits beautifully as a feather on your hat alongside the many other feathers . Always know, your time and efforts for the community, for making things around the academy programs look so smooth , for being a lively presence in chats and for just being a supportive presence around for all of us ! Keep up being amazing! Thankyou ❤
@7CupsCommunity - I am not quite sure for who to tag specifically for this hehe, but yeah here's an appreciation for the ENTIRE 7 cups community, specially the ones working behind the scenes, the developers , the technical supporters , the sponsors , the facilitators , each one involved in making 7 cups what it is today , y'all do so much around , and it's all super acknowledged and appreciated, thankyou so much for curating this amazing place for all of us to seek comfort in !! Thankyouuu ❤

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
My wonderful Good Day Sunshine, I cannot thank you enough for including me in your appreciation post! woo hoooooo, it's an amazing feeling to read your words and to also feel your true emotion through them. I feel it, I feel every bit of it. I'm incredibly grateful and it feels great for me to hear how you see me, how you percieve me, who I am and what I'm all about as you see it through your eyes! Thank you for seeing value in me my friend!
I remember when we first met. I must say, it was a powerful moment for me. I was so like......okay, I know I have just seen greatness, right before me. I truly felt like, give it time, give Good Day Sunshine their time and space. They will create their own destiny on this site. You came to this site with highly portable skills, the total package and I saw you as someone that was a true gift to all of us, to this site from the beginning. Thank you for being the true gift to me!
You got this my friend! You are truly rocking the house! Once again Good Day Sunshine, I *bow in front of your greatness* In addition, I remember why I gave you the nickname "Good Day Sunshine". For anyone that doesn't know it's a song by the Beatles and I had said, you can't listen to that song and not get in a great mood! So, this one is for you Good Day Sunshine, everywhere you go on the site, you truly spread joy, help others, and you are one of those people that make the magic happen around here. In honor of you, I will listen to that song once again, this morning before I do anything else on this site! big *hugs* and *high fives*
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Dear Sunshine,
First of all, sorry for the late response! I am still a bit slow in checking forum notifications and I hope you understand!
Secondly, I appreciate all these kind words so much, they mean a lot to me. I consider you very kind, warm, empathetic, caring compassionate, dedicated and quite amazing as well. Seeing you being appreciative, supportive and encouraging towards everyone (our teammates, a lot of our community members, other leaders as well as me), it often warms my heart and I find your kind gestures very sweet, admirable and sincere. Stay the way you are our beautiful Star.
I love the way you shine your positivity around too like a bright sunshine. ❤ *Sending lots of love and hugs your way* ❤
Love,
Star

Secret time -: I've always been in awe of all the hosts on cups ever , I believe it is one of the most challenging tasks , to keep the room in order , to host a bunch of people , to keep the room engaged, supportive , safe , welcoming , fun , informative , enjoyable...all at once lol , truly a task 😮 . As a host and a room participant ( room supporter / Mod ) , it gets really challenging at times to hold a group of diverse individuals together and make sure all feel equally involved and heard , and encouraged to participate , but our lovely people give their best ! ❤
@richuyulin , mention group support, hosting and moderating and then not tag you is * simply incomplete * , lin linnnnn , I know you shy away from appreciations but know you get these because you deserve it and more , you truly do , I've had the pleasure to co host and co mod with you , and also see you in action numerous times , I see your consistent efforts for group support and maintaining the quality and safety in rooms , you do alot ... ALOT for the community , and trust me, all is super acknowledged and appreciated , from being a great host , mod and room participant , to being a group support quality mentor, supporting new leaders in group support , brainstorming on ways to make it all better for everyone, compiling resources and helpful information...now these are only from what I see and know, I know you put in tremendous efforts and so much time behind the scenes as well . So lin, you gotta accept this one , you truly deserve this , I believe in the fantastic leader you are and I know you're a force to be reckoned with ! Happy to know you here , and proud to be your friend! Always be your enthusiastic and simply awesome self ❤
@LivingInDiscomfort123 , Hi hi Liv, don't be surprised hehe , you are deserving of recieving shout outs for your wonderful presence in group chatrooms . To mention though, there was a brainstorming session for group support chatrooms, and I was in awe of your thoughts and suggestions, you were honest about how you felt and what could be done to improve room support quality , loved how you presented your valuable insights there. As for being a room supporter , I see you as an active participant and host in sharing circle room, you're a warm and shiny presence, greatly appreciate how you frame thoughtful responses after shares and truly do your best in making someone feel heard and validated , your words have power, remember that, they are straight from your ❤ and they go straight to the reader's ❤ as well . Can't wait to see you shining more brightly , I see all the light in you, and I know you've got this ! 💙
@kindLemonade , Okiee okiee Lemonnn, you are an emerging host and you've set the bar with your exceptional hosting skills, I'd say more like your " room " skills , you're a fabulous host and presence around , be it in listener chatrooms or member ones , and I always feel so proud to see you around, it's said we can all take our time through things around here , no set time to " do " anything , you've been here for a while, took your time and applied for some great roles recently, and it makes me really happy to say that you got it all, you're creating a powerful impact and we appreciate everything you do . On a more personal level, I really enjoy hosting with you and the admiration is definitely mutual , thankyou for being so upbeat and fun . Also an added appreciation for your amazing ice breakers and forum threads . You're appreciated muchly, keep being your bright and kind self ❤
@Unique73 , Uniiii 😮 , safe to say , you make me so proud, I feel incredibly happy to see you shine around in community, specially in chatrooms , be it with listener check ins , sharing circles, pop ups or other guided sessions, you've already made your presence felt so strongly, it is a great sight to see you around, and to see you host , you do it so efficiently, adding your own Unique charm to it , and making these sessions for all participants so fun , supportive and engaging. Youve always been so kind towards everyone, be it participating actively in sessions, or offering 1-1 suppprt to someone needing it. You make me so happy with your presence and by being your ossum self , you're kind , beautiful , sweet and exceptionally compassionate, thankyou for being a part of 7 cups community , you're cherished ❤
@MagicalSarah , Hey hey Sarah, hope all izz well with you 😉 , where do I begin with your hosting 😮 , you're one of the finest hosts in the community, it is such a Joy to be able to attend any of your sessions , you add a personal touch of Magic in your hosting, the script doesn't look so scripted then haha , thankyou for being so passionate about hosting and creating a lovely vibe with your presence, you make sure all feel involved and engaged .

Hi @Sunisshiningandsoareyou,
Thank you so much for this shout out of appreciation! Needed this reminder today.
Sun, you're honestly amazing at everything you do! The positive energy you bring to rooms is felt the moment you enter. I would even dare say, your positive energy is contagious. You're an amazing host, and mod. I love co-hosting / co-modding sessions with you, but attending them is also something to look forward to. Keep on shining and being amazing! Looking forward to seeing what else you'll accomplish on your listener journey.
😯
This was unexpected tbh!😅
Dear @Sunisshiningandsoareyou , I have to say you're really good in giving surprises, 😛
Thank you sooooo much for acknowledging and appreciating it, means a lot!❤
Thank you for everything you do here, there are lots of things I learn from you, from handling busy rooms, graciously hosting sessions to being an amazing listener ! There's lot to learn and get inspired from you!❤
Thank you again!❤
Aww.. Suni 💛 All izz well with me, Suni, and I hope all izz well with you too! 🤗
Thank you so so much for that tag! The first time I read your post, it made me laugh happily because once again I found a special person here. Seriously, you and some of the people I know here are definitely so great in making appreciation posts like this, taking time to appreciate others, and with lots of love and sincerity too -you guys are just special! I hope I can be more like you; a good writer and such an attentive person to others, a kind soul indeed 🥰
I'm a slow thinker, slow at typing, and slow in making good words also (that's why I'm often using quotes when validating during hosting lol), so, I just wanna say that You Are Beautiful. I can feel your beautiful presence every time I saw you in the group chatroom, I can feel the beauty in you, and I believe you truly are a beautiful person here and in real life. So, stay beautiful inside out, Suni!
Sun is shining and so are you
Sun is shining and so are you
Can't you tell? I got news for you
Sun is shining and so are you
And we gonna be alright
Dry your tears and hold tight
Can't you tell? I got news for you
Sun is shining and so are you
🎵🎶🎵
Your warm-shine admirer,
Sarah @--;----
