CommunityManager'sAppreciationDay Celebration!

Laura & Heather has given up their daily lives just to uphold the betterment of this community, just to shape this social revolution for creating a better world and a better tomorrow. They have shown us the true meaning of Love.

The Community celebrated the first-ever Community Manager Appreciation Day, in the Listener Shoutout thread, Jan. 27, 2015.

So, Twisha, the Director of all our Operations, has something to say for these two amazing ladies.

☆☆☆

?Laura, I admire your positive energy and enthusiasm!! You spread it around the community and are a friend, mentor, and guide to listeners and members. You are also always a delight to work with :).?

?Heather, I applaud your diligent and hard working attitude. You have done an amazing job at making group support a safe and supportive place. I really like that you are always full of great ideas to make 7 Cups community thrive and grow :).?

☆☆☆

Dear Laura and Heather,

"Who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
Who can say what is best gift
one can give, only time.
So today its your time to get back
some of the moments you have given to us
that made us smile."

Please sit back, and only this time relax and believe what the community has to offer to you.

-Love always, Cadence & Samc95xc.

?Thank you for making 7cups a reality. ?

?No matter the organisation, no matter the team, there are special people who do the unfashionable things that allow a team to achieve great things. They are the glue that hold the moving parts together. And without these people, teams generally fail. I've been involved in teams with high performers but without the glue people and they've never achieved what they should have. Therefore a lot of the success of the many listeners at 7Cups can be put down to the work that is done in the background - the work never mentioned in the forums and chatrooms. @LauraS is that 'glue' type person at 7Cups. I have a lot of respect for her from what she is involved in that comes through to the front space of 7Cups and with my personal dealings with her, I have always been struck with manner in which she deals with things. Therefore, in conclusion, and in my ever verbose manner, I would like to honor @LauraS for all of which she does. I really appreciate you! :) All the best..?

@Roadie

@Dhara94

?You're as kind and compassionate as you are beautiful!?

?Laura is plainly awesome! She does so much and is truly an inspiration to me :) I don't know if people realize how much she does for 7 cups, but I really want to thank her for all of it! Sometimes I wonder what a day in the life of Laura would be like haha. Laura you are amazing, and the definition of "7 cups rockstar"! Many many cheers and hugs to you <3?

@Jessica

@MissZ

?I remember moderating one the groupchat - rooms when they had just been opened for the first time. Laura was in the room as well and later thanked me for all the hard work I am doing. It really felt good to be appreciated. I always love reading Laura's posts in the forum because they are thought-though and informative. Her constant reminders of that we shouldn't forget why we are here, to build a community of love and support, are beautiful because they are true!?

?To be honest, it?s hard for me to just pick one memory or favorite thing about this woman...she is really wonderful is so many ways. She is extremely attentive and appreciative, she listens to you and then proactively searches for solutions on how to address these situations. Laura is a person of change, she's not afraid to move forward...to try and fail and then try again. Laura inspires, Laura works hard, Laura makes me feel safe. She might have not been the reason I came to seven cups but she is certainly one of the reasons I'm still around. Thank you Laura, for being your incredible self. For being there for me and any other listener that has reached out to you. Thank you for caring and for doing your best to keep our community the wonderful place it is.?

@Iara

@Jaelin

?@LauraS She is beyond amazing, I feel like I learn so much from her and I'm so grateful that she is willing to take the time to personally answer my questions. I may be a mentor for 7cupsoftea but Laura is a mentor for me. And I appreciate the kind, easy going and supportive way she has about her. Thank you for everything @LauraS?

?Thank you for constantly thinking of others. You make us all feel really appreciated. ? -@MrsFunkyMonkey

@Flourish

?Laura, you have been really nice to me. You are very patient, always finding ways to encourage others and are very thoughtful. You are very welcoming even when you are very busy you always make time to get back to me. Thank you for listening to my thoughts, ideas and trying to understand even when it is frustrating. Thanks for all the praises too, ha ha. I understand being a community manager is a very stressful job, but so far you are doing it great. You've been really helpful to many and that is why a lot of people have something to appreciate you for. Thanks for all you have done so far for 7 Cups of Tea.?

?She's so pretty and super kind to everyone~ Would vote for president.?

?All of Laura's hard work never went unappreciated, that I'm sure of. Though this has been really redundant, please allow me to say this again. Laura, thank you very much for all the hard work you do around the community.I've had the honor of working side by side with you while editing those articles. I understand the busy schedule and lifestyle. Thank you for the time you take talking to us as well as listening to our concerns despite the unavailability sometimes.I think I owe you an apology that I left. Lol. So, sorry about that. But, like I always said, and always will say this, that I do offer my help still. You know where to find me. :)Best wishes and stay awesome! Den or...Phanvan lol :D?

?Thank you for all the work you do here Laura! I cannot imagine my life without this site. It has helped grow me into the person I am today, and so I am extremely appreciative of our community managers. I enjoyed the idea of a compassion course for members and your brief drop-ins in group support amidst your busy schedule are always nice :) Lots of love, AB?

?Heather you are kind, compassionate, caring, patient, and a good hearted person.the group chats are a mirror of your efforts. From giving us right guidelines, showing us the right manner to handle situations to making us feel heard, you are simply outstanding in all that you do. I remember not being able to be on time once, and I can never forget that not only she understood my problem, she also gave me another chance.

?Heather, omg those eyes XD i could look at them all day and not get tired, its like the bluest sky you will ever see. You know just by looking in someones eyes you can tell theyre story. in her eyes i see beauty, a strong person, very determined woman. Another thing i like about her (taking out the eyes part.) is her boundaries, she knows when to say enough is enough, i think shes the person that most thought and applied that in this site, she basically made it a thing XD? -@Zandinator

@Iara said? ?Hmm, what can I say about Heather? I admire this lady for a long time, even before I ever dared to reach out to her I would hold a great deal of respect for her. She was always so honest yet tactful, always so warm and motherly but at the same time highly mysterious, she always knew what to say at the exactly right time?she had a way of brushing off compliments with a modesty that only made you admire her more. Of course Heather is also the master of boundaries and one of the best forum post writer?s 7 cups has. So thanks Heather for sharing you knowledge and warmth with this community?I will never stop feeling honored with working alongside you (and Laura and Rin) and for being trusted with your awesome 7 cups baby (the discussions haha)?

?Heather has always been sooo helpful whenever I've spoken to her, no matter how trivial my question is. It's clear how much hard work she puts into 7 Cups, even if we don't necessarily see it all, and I know things would be very different around here without all her hard work. Thank you Heather!? -@Georgie4

@Jaelin said? ?@Heather is so kind and so generous with her time and her heart! She's always ready to help, to guide you, answer all (2 dozen/week) the questions you could possibly throw at her. There is no doubt as to why she received the CM promotion. She and @LauraS Rock it! She's a kind hearted person whom I look up to very much. Thank you so much @Heather!?

@Phanvan said? ?Robyn!!! I'm never gonna call you Heather, I guess. Lol. I still remember the day your name was up in the banner for being a mentor. I remember you're one of the pioneers. After some months, much to my surprise, you became a Community Manager! Wow. That's simply astounding. I understand that being a Community Manager is hard work, let alone taking care of three children. Though I may not be overly vocal about things in the community or even in our one-on-one interactions, I do want you to know that I appreciate all your hard work and the effort that you put into the community.Also, I believe you're the first one who nominated me as a mentor. Hahaha. I kinda sucked at it, really. If I'm to appraise my performance, I gotta say I'm subpar. What went through your mind?!?!?! Lol. :) That is another thing I'm thankful for, though. You kinda believed in me...in a way. So, Cheers to you, Robyn aka Heather. Cheers to that awesome you!

Best regards,

Den/Phanvan

?I feel like Heather is really loving 7Cups and what she does here, she's very friendly and positive with all people in the community. I'm super excited when I see new project/ideas from her, because I know they'll be amazing :D .? -@Niko

@sparkleofhope said? ?OMG HEATHER!! She's amazing! She's super funny and real nice and I love her so very much! There was this one time in the holiday chatroom on Christmas. We were all there and she asked us what we want for us and 7cups and we all replied and she was super awesome and cute towards every single response! She's just adorably amazing!?

@michaelahelps said? ?Heather, you are amazing! We've talked a bit, and you are so sweet and kind! I love what you do for this community, and you really do help to make sure everything is great around here. Love you, Heather!?

?I may have mentioned this before about @Heather, however the majority of my dealings with her have been via the group moderation team. She is a real leader behind the scenes of that team and do you know what struck me about her? Her calmness. I think the world could be falling to pieces and I envision her calmly saying, "Oh, that's alright. We'll do this." It's gift that and it really inspires trust in those who she deals with. It does for me, most definitely. So, please accept this little piece as a token piece for honoring you today, @Heather :). All the best.. Roadie :)? -@Roadie

@AwesomelyLonely said? ?Thank you for making 7cups a reality.?

?I remember meeting Heather in the chatroom almost a year ago, she was a very funny member of the Community. As the time went by I learn that she was not only funny but she is also thoughtful, smart, caring and creative. I'm really grateful to have her as a friend and Community Manager, I loved working with her as a Mentor and Ambassador and I love it even more now! Thanks Heather for all your dedication and for making the best forum posts ever! ;) <3? -@Pali

@Shanna said? ?Heather, we haven't had the chance to interact much, but I appreciate how much you do behind the scenes to make the Group Support and discussions a safe and engaging place for listeners and members, and I know you undoubtedly do loads of work that we aren't even aware of. I hope to get to work more with you in the future!?

@Heather, it surprises me too, that it was kept so quiet, yet we had so many participants! c: Our community is amazing and loving, and it couldn't continue to be that way without our lovely Community Managers. Thank you, Heather, for all that you do for the site, and for always enstillingself care and kindness to every person you meet. You inspire me heavily.

And I'm glad you like the rainbows; I was afraid you might find it tacky. But rainbow colors are amazing! <3 We love you tons!!!

Sam?s Tribute

@LauraS , well what can say about you , Its difficult to pen down everything for everything have done for the community but I want to keep it short by saying

?Its been an Honor for me to meet & work along side with the Legend of 7cups of Tea?

So this is the Poem of Honour for you

?On the trumpets sounds

Which are mighty and loud

A new dawn has begun

The mighty war of 1 years and half have finally been won

Leaders come and goes by but Legends are truly born

Not by the law of normal birth but in the hearts of all

Not many are born with the luck to be guided by one

But we are thankful to the you Laura for nurturing us as your own

Have you seen the sun which is the alpha and omega of life

In the times of dark to who give us light

Like that uni source of energy mass

You inspire us all

When the mighty time flows by,

And when life becomes fragile

Its is the works which will keep you immortal

For years after all

Centuries will pass but memories will last

To guide us when we are wrong

And love us to make us strong

No words are there to describe you ,

For under you 7CUPS saw its Golden years of all.?

Hugs!

@Heather , Thank you is a very short word to shelter everything you have done for the community ,

I really like your Calmness and your Patience and the way you handle every difficult Situations ,

Hugs !

Some words from @Cadence

@LauraS, we?ve spent so much time together, especially here lately -- some good (group discussions, things of the like) and some bad (trolling experiences). All in all, you?ve shown me that everything can, and should, be viewed as a learning experience, upon which to grow and learn. Whether it?s seeing you in the forums, or sending you yet another email, it?s always a pleasure to hear from you. It?s obvious that you care a lot about this community, and that you have so many amazing ideas you want to enact. It?s that inspiration that keeps me? Well, inspired. Honestly, I have a folder called ?Things that make me really happy,? and many of the things you said have been in there. Thank you for everything, and thank you for working with me so closely, and always being willing to give a second chance. You?re the best!


@Heather, my gosh, you?re a wonderful woman. Thank you for all of the times I?ve come to you after being in an unfortunate situation, and thank you for always ensuring me that things will be okay, and that everything will eventually be okay. The group support is something I?ve been massively involved in, and you?ve taken it on, acting as a complete inspiration to me. Without you, many members would be friendless, as well as many listeners; it built our community even stronger! I feel like there?s a lot behind the scenes that you do, that likely goes largely unnoticed, but know that it doesn?t go unappreciated. Here?s to working closely with you and Laura in the future! <3

I'm so pleased that @Cadence and @samc95xc organised this. I could not think of another two more deserving people to have this done under "Secret Squirrel" protocols than @LauraS and @Heather ("Secret Squirrel' brings back so many memories from primary school lol)

I want to thank Laura because she helps me when I have doubts, and she is so kind. I love her forum updates, and she is always doing new things :)

I want to thank Heather because she is very kind as well, and she is always trying to make this community happier and more safe. Thanks for the good work!

And of course, thanks to @Cadence and @samc95xc for making this amaaazing post!

Thanks for everything!
