March Leader of the Month: LavenderFlower!!

Congratulations to @LavenderFlower for being nominated and named as one of our March Leaders of the Month! Learn more about Lavender and their work on 7 Cups!

🌸 What roles or projects are you involved in on 7 Cups?

I have many roles and am involved in quite a few projects on 7Cups. I am an Internship Mentor and Quality Mentor. I am a Group Support Moderator in Anxiety Support, Depression Support, and Personality Disorders Support. I am a Support Session Leader in Personality Disorders Support for both Teens and Adults, doing 3-60 minute sessions a week (1 Co-lead with @Rivercat22), and also 1-60 minute session in Depression Support for Teens a week (Co-lead with @Selenew). Due to doing 3 sessions a week, I am also a doorkeeper. I am also a Team and Feed member of Personality Disorders Support and a Team member of both Veterans and Military Support and the 7Cups Internship Community. I am part of the Verified Listener Team, Wiki Team, and Safety Patrol Team. Finally, I am also an Adult-Teen Listener and Peer Supporter. Whew, all done.

🌸 What has been your biggest accomplishment on 7 Cups?

Honestly, just making an account to listen to others. In my opinion, the best accomplishment to have on 7Cups is helping a member, nothing gets better than that for me. It's so nice to have a chat and, at the end of it, having the member feeling a new sense of self.

🌸 How would you describe 7 Cups in one word?

Supportive

🌸 What is your favorite 7 Cups memory?

My favorite 7Cups memory was finishing my 7Cups Internship! It gave me such a strong sense of accomplishment to have listened to so many people and create a bond with so many members and listeners.

🌸 What is the best vacation you've ever been on?

When I went to visit Switzerland. It was so serene and beautiful. The architecture, nature, and culture was so rich. I felt like I took a step into a new world on their streets.

🌸 If you could have any super power, what would you have?

Teleportation. It'd be amazing to go anywhere in the world with just the snap of a finger. Think of all the people you could meet and places you could visit.

🌸 What is your favorite kind of weather?

Snowfall! I love the cold weather on your face and the beautiful white flakes falling from the sky. It making going into a warm room so much more special and exciting, especially with a nice cup of hot chocolate.

🌸 What is your favorite inspirational quote? (and why)

Though it's not a quote, it's from a song I love, the lyric is "I think my spaceship knows which way to go". It gives me hope that no matter how far you wander from your dreams or goals, you will get there somehow, just like an astronaut getting lost in space.

🌸 If you could give one tip to a brand new listener or member what would it be?

Take your time and be patient. 7Cups can be a little difficult to get the hang of at first, but don't rush it! Enjoy every minute, and don't be afraid to ask questions when you feel confused. We are all here to help you!
