Join Our "Caught You Kind" Recognition Campaign!
Our caring community is at work each day supporting and uplifting each other through various acts of compassion. Listeners, leaders, and members alike - it could be anyone contributing positively, demonstrating our values, and making a difference through little acts.
Have you witnessed someone taking time to help talk someone down in a room, or noticed someone answering questions in the forums? Someone may have sent you a personalized message when you needed it. These moments of going above and beyond should be captured when they’re seen. In honor of World Kindness Day (November 13) and the entire month of Cupsgiving, I’d like to challenge you all to note them and share them here!
Tag the person, “catching them” in the act of kindness, and with every tag let’s pay it forward, one good deed at a time.
This campaign will run through the end of the year so let's make this thread a beautiful thriving representation of our community's giving spirit!
-
Other initiatives you can take part in right now!
💗 Peer Appreciation Program - write a message that will be turned into a special note and posted in our big beautiful official thread!!

I want to create a post thanking the Care Team and all the hard work they put in every day to support our fellow Listeners. While 7 Cups was founded to support our members, it's so important that our Listeners are supported too and our team does an excellent job of achieving this goal! Thank you all of you!

Just to get started, I am tagging just a few of the amazing people I have spotted being kind. <3 Whether it was through chats, in the rooms, or throughout the forums as I respond and/or lurk, I have read/seen nothing but love and kindness come from you. It is always a joy seeing each of you about. Keep on being the wonderful, selfless beings you are. :)

@YourCaringConfidant Oh my goodness, seriously me? I have been caught being kind? Well, thank you so much. I don't think I'm anything close to selfless lol, but thank you anyway, I appreacte you saying it. And know that you have just been caught being kind right now! The graphic is really cute by the way, I love it. ❤️❤️
@exuberantBlackberry9105 I think you are "berry" sweet as can be! <3 Sorry for the late response. I don't know how I missed this.
@YourCaringConfidant Haha I appreciate you saying that, thank you! What are you being sorry for though? You responded in just 12 hours, that's not at all late! ❤️
@YourCaringConfidant
aw Desiree, this made my day 🥺🫶, thank you for all you do, you are simply incredible and so kind.
@CaringEzra I'm so glad this added to your day! Keep on smiling. :) I appreciate what you do for us in the Grief & Loss Community. You are such an empathetic and compassionate person. <3
@YourCaringConfidant Thank you so much for thinking of me and including me in this post. It means a lot! 💐
Please also let me say that you have always gone above and beyond in acts of kindness on Cups. I always enjoy seeing you around the forum spreading love and being a beacon of positivity with your kind words and amazing graphics. I appreciate this sooo much and thank you from the bottom of my heart, Desiree! 😊💓
@GentleHealingInitiative No need for a thank you, but you are sooo welcome. You're one of the ones whose username I love to see as I lurk around. I read your responses and you respond in such a beautiful and thoughtful manner. I just wanted you to know I appreciate that in you. :)
Thank you, Desiree, for tagging me among that “All-Star” list of amazing people, some of whom I know very well and, yes, they are in the Mother Theresa league of kind, loving, compassionate people. Exceptional beings of light.
And you too are a fountain of kindness and compassion! I have seen so many times how tender, caring and loving you are!
By the way, that drawing is so cute and meaningful! That’s another way to show your dedication to others, by devoting time and thought to render you beautiful and always significant artwork.
I remember when we both were in Grief Support what a tremendous impact your carefully conceived images could have. How people hurting much would feel greatly comforted and understood by them.
So I too caught you many many times being extremely kind!
@HealingTalk That means soooo much to me, Marcelo. Awwww, what a sweet acknowledgement. <3 And you never need to thank me for including you on the "caught being kind" list. There is no way I could have neglected not mentioning your name. :)
It makes me super happy that my note made you feel good. What I say about you is true and evident, visible for all to see. It’s a reflection of what we all see in you. I am nothing but a mirror.
And yes, that you mention me is such a privilege! In contrast with your steadfast presence, I have not been very active supporting people in the Forums lately, and I feel bad about it. So your post reminds me of that part of me that I miss. That's so heartwarming, and makes me hopeful that I will come back and be again deserving of your lovely and reassuring words!
@HealingTalk You are more deserving than you know! <3 Please don't ever think otherwise and you shouldn't have to feel guilty. You have inspired me and so many others here. You have made an impact in our lives and I value what you do. It shouldn't matter when it was. If you miss a part of you, you can always go back to you. Look at me: I literally walked away from all my roles and everything to pursue self care. I battled between staying or leaving, went as far as deactivating, and then came back. Part of me misses my past roles, but I know I don't need the actual label to continue just being me through the forums. Marcelo, sometimes in life we outgrow certain things and find ourselves in a new chapter in our lives. That is perfectly ok to do. I say all this to say: never forget the value you bring. Never forget how wonderful and amazing of a person you are. Never forget how loving and selfless you were of your time devoted to helping and inspiring others. Past, current, and future... you have so much to bring. In whatever capacity you choose to help others now, it's still makes you special in my eyes and I think you are great! <3 Again, you are so deserving, my friend!
@YourCaringConfidant
Thank you so much! This is really sweet of you 😁
@YourCaringConfidant
Wow, this is such a beautiful and heartwarming message! 💖
You're absolutely the sweetest and I truly appreciate the lovely graphic!😍
Thank you so much for thinking of me and it really means a lot! 😊
@YourCaringConfidant
Thank you, Desiree! You are really caring.
@SolitaryBird Thank you for the flower, my 🐦 friend. 💙 I'm grateful to have met you on here.
@YourCaringConfidant awwwwwwww thankyou ❤❤ hugs you tightly ❤❤ I love you ❤
@Tinywhisper11 I happily accept that hug and love you right back! 💞
@YourCaringConfidant
Hi Caring! 😊 ❤️
Speaking of "selfless beings", that is you to a T my sweet friend! ❤️ Everywhere you move across the platform, you share joy, kindness, help and support for others. It's an honor and a privilege to call you my teammate and my friend!
I want to apologize for my late response. I got to see your wonderful forum post, your gift 🎁 to me. I started feeling ill Wednesday afternoon and haven't been around much in the last few days as sometimes it was hard to even lift my head. The little bit of energy I had, I knew I needed to keep it in reserves for self care (and I know that you would have wanted it that way) ❤️ .
I'm a big believer in that the universe will bring to you exactly what you need and when it is that you need it! Every day I have been counting you in my gratitude moments, feeling physically bad, but with a heart full of joy that someone out there cares about me, someone out there thinks I'm pretty neat! Rest assured, the feeling is so very mutual.
The universe knew exactly what it was doing when it brought you here to us on 7 cups! I'm having such a big gratitude moment for you and for the universe today!
Thank you my sweet friend! You truly were the chicken soup for my soul! ❤️
*high fives* 😊 and big big *hugs* ❤️
@SparkyGizmo Awwwwww, I'm just literally over here smiling after reading your comment. You are so right, I would have rather you reserve your energy and self care. So sorry you have been feeling well, but I do hope that you are feeling better. I will keep you in my prayers, Sparky! You are so special, valuable, and dear. Thank you for my smile this morning. Big hugs coming your way! <3
@YourCaringConfidant
❤️❤️❤️
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Awwwwwwwwww myyy hhheeeaaarrttttt. <3 That's a mighty big smile, ☀️! Never lose it. Your comment has me literally smiling just as big. You already know you are all those things and more! I love seeing you in the forums always being helpful and brightening the days of others. Xoxo. PS: I love the image of us. Aww. :)
@Heather225
Im gonna mention some lovely kind people who are my friends and often don’t realise how kind they are until it’s been mentioned, at which point some of them will deny it. However, I have caught these people in such incredible acts of kindness soooo:

@SparkyGizmo ✨
It is not often that I'm rendered speechless 🥹 but your more than kind response did exactly that (in a good way). You are a true ray of sunshine 🌞 and it's an honor to spread some kindness and joy to one who so selflessly does so for others on a consistent, routine basis. *hugs* and *high fives*❤️🧚♀️
