Hey hey @Astraeuss, I'm so happy to see you being appreciated. We've got a secret friend, who does mention you are one of their best friends, so maybe you can guess who this lovely friend is, who took out time to send some kindness your way! ๐
Keep being you, Astra, and there are people who accept you and adore you exactly as that! ๐
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
hmmmm I think I know who ๐คจ๐คจ๐คจ, also thank you that person
Hey there @ShineQueen001, you've got another secret friend appreciation yaya! ๐
And the cutest part ๐ฅฐ
How freaking cute is that hah, I dont even know how many times I've kinda sung it already xD
You're so blessed with beautiful peers around, Shine, I'm really proud of you for being soooooo wonderful to be appreciated, loved and valued by so so so many wonderful people also! Y'all are absolute sweet hearts! ๐
We have an iconic appreciation! ๐๐๐
This time it's for the lovely, talented, wonderous Lin!
I thought the message was so sweet, and of course, any chance to appreciate @richuyulin is going to be taken by meeeeeee. I honestly think Lin is one of our most talented listeners and leader. I'll be honest, I get really excited whenever I get the opportunity to talk with them. Lin, thank you for everything you dooooo
Firstly, when did I become iconic? hides! Secondly, thank you for sharing this, @FrenchMarbles. And thirdly, let's hope that @Sunisshiningandsoareyou doesn't get jealous trying to jump at every opportunity to post stuff about me. ๐
@richuyulin, you're always an icon to me. I look up to you when it comes to the group support, and you taught me that it's not a scary place.
@FrenchMarbles I was privileged to have connected with some amazing mentors who focused on group support early on who showed me group support isn't scary. It's a learning curve for sure, but you'll get there with time. Some of those mentors left the platform for good, but some are still here.
Shouting out:
- @CommunityModElliot - Showed me the ropes to hosting SC and moderations. Cheered me on even when I wanted to give up moderation and quit. Thank you for believing in me even when I didn't. *here's some donuts for you* ๐
- @DonaldDraper - You were my very first mentor. Thank you for all the resources you shared with me back then, I wouldn't be here without your support. And honestly, it's always a blast to host Pop-up events with you despite the huge time zone difference between us.
- @Sunisshiningandsoareyou - I met you when you were an active host during the pandemic. Thank you for showing me what it's like to bring our own style to rooms and not having to copy cat others. Your positivity really light up the rooms. And thank you for showing me the ropes with forums and putting up with my stupid questions on this front.
- @SparkyGizmo - One of many friends from LSR from the early days who made LSR more welcoming and less daunting to ask question and gather resources in. Without you, I probably wouldn't have given LSR a chance, then I wouldn't be here in leadership positions paving it forward.
@richuyulin Aww, thank you! You are a great moderator! and an amazing SC host!!
@richuyulin
My wonderful Lin! ๐โค๏ธ Those are powerful words. What a gift you have given to me today to know that I was a part of your growth and development in becoming the great leader that you are today! โค๏ธ I'm so happy to *bask in your glow*. You shine so very brightly my friend! ๐
Whatever it was that I did and how I did it, I sure am glad that I did! ๐ What a missed opportunity it would be for us all, to not have a powerhouse such as you here on the platform!
I really am focused on the concept of listener retention (part of one of my roles that I have taken upon myself). It's so very important to me to keep the great ones around, to support and help in everyones efforts. Your words are deeply meaningful to me and anyone that knows me well, knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I am shedding more than a few tears at the moment....but in the good way! โค๏ธ
Thank goodness you didn't "walk". Thank goodness you stayed and had the chance to learn, grow and to develop into the amazing leader you are today. I love how you are paving the way forward and supporting others now in the exact same way that you have been supported! โค๏ธ I feel like *I just heard angels singing* ๐โค๏ธ๐
I appreciate you! โค๏ธ I am grateful for you! โค๏ธ You are a remarkable human being, teammate and friend! I'd really like to express my gratitude towards the other teammates that you tagged and listed as people that helped you along the way as well! @CommunityModElliot @DonaldDraper @Sunisshiningandsoareyou . I'm so glad that they did their part as well! โค๏ธ Quite the line up of amazing leaders right there and am grateful to even be put in the same category as them!
Thank you again my friend! โค๏ธ I have what I call my "gratitude moments" at the end of each day. Once again, you will be included in them today!
*high fives* ๐ big *hugs* โค๏ธ and.............I love the smell of fresh paint! ๐ *wink* You got this!!!!!!!
@SparkyGizmo
Look at you shining everywhere and so brightly, Sparkyyy Sparkkk! Honored to be in the same list as yourself! Way to go, Spideyyy Twinn!๐คโค๐ค *high fives* and *biggg hugs* back!
The next appreciation is from a secret friend :o
But it goes to the wonderful @Mack who has made a lasting impression in the teen world and while I understand it can feel scary moving on up, I have seen you in the group chats and you really do be there for people. Thank you Mack, for everything.
We have a secret appreciator for ..... @ALeXaNdEr0712

@YourCaringConfidant
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much. This made my day. :)

I am who i am, I try to treat others the way I'd like to be treated. i believe in "being the change you want to see in the world." and I like to practice what i preach. I never would've thought someone would've noticed and or thought to take the time to say something. Thank you, thank you, ty.
๏ปฟIf there is anyone who deserves to be appreciated it is the beautiful and lovely @Aishaa97 as she is one of the most helpful, beautiful people I have met on this platform.
When I seen a "secret friend" of hers sent her an appreciation, I instantly knew that I wanted to be the messenger. If you know Aishaa, you already know the type of person she is. For those of you who don't know her, let me share with you some of the qualities about her that really make her stand out of the crowd!
Aishaa is: supportive, respectful, empathetic, coachable, Forgiving, and so much more!
Now let's see what Aishaa's secret friend has to say about her:
Aishaa, you already know the drill-- You can guess who your secret friend is; but if you get it wrong, then you have fill out the form and appreciate others. ๐
Now doesn't that seem like such fun? Lol. Aishaa, I do have to say that I agree with your secret friend. You really are amazing and you truly do have a "heart of gold". You always think of others and are so sweet. You will always be my beautiful and lovely Aishaa no matter what! It is soooo good to see your name getting the appreciation and recognition you deserve. Keep on touching the hearts of others and being do amazing! ๐
