Celebrating one year of @Belle_ on 7 Cups!

JBlue March 2nd, 2016

One year ago today the inimitable, the incomparable, fantastic, amazing one-and-only @Belle_ first became a listener on 7 Cups! Let the celebrations begin!

Most of us probably know her as the LCR icebreaker queen, but she's enriched 7 Cups as a mentor, moderator, listener and friend to one and all. Her reviews show clearly her fantastic ability to combine practice of active listening with unmistakeably genuine warmth:

"Belle2 is very caring, calm, and compassionate. She has a gift for encouragement which allowed me to work through an issue I was having. Belle listens and she truly cares. It is not fake. She is the real deal."

"What a great listener and friend! She helped motivate me to get the help I need. She doesn't deal unsolicited or formulaic advice, but genuinely hears the real you and embraces you with warmth "

"She was just what I needed. Very sympathetic with my struggles with my child and job loss, meet me emotionally, confirmed my statement that I am a good mother, and didn't leave me waiting for a response. She had a positive outlook and voice of concern, just as though she was a friend placing her hand on my knee."

"In my opinion Belle is the best listener on 7 cups. I love talking with her. She has helped me so much and I am so grateful to her for listening to my problems and the genuine care and affection she has towards me every time we talk."

"really great! made me feel like i was just talking with an old friend"

and perhaps my favorite brief review

"Damn she is good! better than choccolate"

I consider her my own best friend and I'm grateful every day that I came to know her through 7 Cups... @Belle_ is one of those special people who makes the world a much better place just with her presence!

@JBlue. I have not had much interaction with her but she does seem very sweet and I'm sure does a lot of work on here. Perhaps we should throw a little party in the chat room for her :p

@Belle

Trying to say something genuinely today has made me realize how speechless I can be when its about saying something genuine to someone so good :)
You are a person who can connect with anyone, I mean anyone :) talking comes so natural to you, its easy to flow along with you :) You are an excellent guide, a guru, and someone who can truly inspire people. You can be a ray of hope for someone who's stranded in darkness. You've helped me in a way that no one ever did, I discovered a side of myself that I never even thought I had :) and I acquired one more skill from you .. Lurking :P, you are an excellent moderator, you define leadership on a whole new level, you are a leader who is within the group, not above it, I love the way you make people feel valued :) respecting you came naturally to me :) and that's coming from a guy who always had trouble following authority :PIt's such a journey, 5 months me being here, from jokes in the LCR to you becoming my mentor, to you becoming a person who genuinely understood me, in a way that no one ever did :) Your work here is great! Its very rare the level of kindness and compassion you exhibit :) You are not one of those people who can smile their way through things, you are rather genuine, you have genuine feelings, genuine thoughts, that's what I admire about you the most! :) You have helped me through some difficult chats and difficult situations that you yourself don't know about as I did that subtly :P I just wish you a great 7cups Janmdin (Birthday in hindi:D) :D :D and I hope that you always care for people like this and stay strong and awesome just the way you are, the real you! :) <3
