The background color of the graphic is blue, so the letters are in blue. The warm hug shows the mocha bear was freezing in grey, but then becomes brown after the warm hug ☺ hihi

@LoveMyMoonflowers

The letters color is light blue & light purple for the names, the hearts are blue & purple, because the frame colors of the graphic is light blue & light purple. Also because the font color in the graphic is light purple. (Nii's signature ☺ '🌙🌸 ' )

It is a pretty soft graphic, Nii! 🌙🦁☺

@EmpathysGarden @YourCaringConfidant Riley!! Desiree!! Guys!!! Oh my god.. I don't even know where to begin!! Thank you?! I'm just so in shock! I haven't been active on 7 Cups for about 2 years until about 10 days ago, yet I'm being appreciated all of a sudden.. just wow. I'm so glad to be a listener again - not for the praise but for knowing that I can genuinely make a meaningful, positive and noticeable difference in the lives of others. I couldn't ask for a better welcome, as I not only recently started listening again - I'm also starting my internship tomorrow! Thank you so so much, you two!! 💖💖 I know you two especially do so much for 7 Cups - way more than I do actually given the roles you've taken on and programs you've completed - so make sure to appreciate yourselves too!! I look up to you two and hope to take on some roles in the near future to better serve the 7 Cups community as well. Thank you guys so so much again for everything!! Let's stay in touch! 

The bear picture was SO cute and punny too!! Don't mind if I screenshot it!!!!! 😱🤪😀

@EmpathysGarden Omgggggg it's you!!! The incredible, passionate smile spreader I met in LCR. ♡ I was just not long telling someone wonderful about you. I remember your name Riley and garden part. But it didn't dawn on me to come here. I would surely sent an appreciation for you at the same time. 🤣 The three of us bonded so well that day and y'all just made such an impression on me! Thank you soooooo much, Riley, for being the one to deliver the note to 🐻. You did an absolute wonderful job! Hope you have been doing great and soooo good to see you again. ♡

@Sirenofserenity received this special appreciation from a secret friend.  Here’s what the secret friend has to say:

Academy check-ins! That's where I got to meet you. Just wanted to appreciate and thank you for all the help you gave me during my programs. It was really a pleasure meeting you, and it was really sweet that you made Africa the password for one of the sessions. That meant a lot to me. I think you can guess who I am from that haha.

The letters color is purple because the font color in the graphic & the color tone of the flowery theme graphic is purple. The names, Jon & Mahad, are in gold, because the trophy 🏆 color is gold. ©️ Sunshine's original cute style! 🥳❤

Aw thank you so much @Sunisshiningandsoareyou and @Mahad!

Its a privilege to serve the community and we try our hardest to make things better everyday. Not all of it is immediately visible and we also can't do everything requested. But hopefully most folks can feel the intent and that things consistently improve over the year. 

Mahad feels like an extension of the team with his feedback, ideas and support. We're very happy to have you here with us ✨

@Lovingtangerine has a very special appreciation for the one and only @DivorcePapers!  Here’s what the LovingTangerineHas to Say:


Papers was the first person I ever chatted with when I joined 7cups. I instantly felt safe being there. He uplifted my mood. Now I look forward to each day because we get to chat. Even playing games together. He is so helpful to everyone in chats. Always knows the right thing to say. I’m so glad I met him. 

And these traits were spotted in DivorcePapers:

Optimistic - They focus on cultivating positivity, to bring out the best in everyone., Friendly - They are caring and nice to everyone., Positive - They focus on good qualities in others., Empathetic - They look to understand and share the feelings of another., Purposeful - They act with a purpose, a dream that the world can be a better place., Cheerful - They are fun to be around., Respectful - They try to make sure everyone feels respected and understood.

Along with their wonderful words, they are sending a champions trophy and requests colors of red, green, and gold.
