I like to respond to a "needs reply" post, to spread a bit of kindness.
- I like to support someone who needs support.
- I can take my time.
- I can do it when it suits me eg when I have a positive frame of mind.
- I believe that being heard is the most important part of being helped. So I can do something good, even if it is not perfect.

Hi Obs! 😊 ❤️
Hi Sun! 😊 ❤️
Day 2 Tuesday - Connect and Appreciate (list 1-5)
I made a forum post to connect and appreciate one of my teammates in another thread.
I have upvoted all posts in the current thread for the Kindness Challenge.
I connected with and appreciated a teammate by providing peer support through a difficult moment. I showed them how much I appreciated them for being a part of the team by hanging in there with them to provide support and options for something that is a "hot button" issue. Listener retention efforts! They are worth it, every minute of the support!
I'd like to publicly appreciate, acknowledge and show gratitude to/for @Sunthruclouds for their impeccable teamwork efforts in the LSR the other day. Kindness matters and they sure do show a great deal of it. Not only were they a cheerful receiver, they were also a cheerful giver.
The room was busy. They had multiple questions as did others. They were kind, patient, asked for support and while waiting for their questions to be answered they showed impeccable leadership qualities by greeting others entering the room, helped to keep the room welcoming, warm, inclusive and supportive.
It was a beautiful thing to witness how they were highly aware of their surroundings, noticed how fast the room was moving and that there was one person answering the questions of many. We as listeners are asked to have empathy and compassion for our members. Of course! It's another thing to see a listener having the where with all and ability to translate that to Listener to Listener interactions. ✨
Thank you @Sunthruclouds! ❤️ You encouraged me and I'm most grateful for you! ❤️ You have no idea how much it meant to me in that moment for you to say kind things to me, to notice that I was trying. Thank you for your selflessness, for sticking around and providing me with positive affirmations for my efforts well after your questions were answered. Pretty amazing leadership skills that you exhibited. Thank you for being such a great example to others!
And for #5. I nominated you, @Sunthruclouds for our "Encourager badge". It's for being extra encouraging to your teammates and you only need 10 nominations from your fellow listeners to receive that brand new, shiny badge.
*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️
