@Jneville75 ... Hey! Welcome "new to this" :) I'm glad you've found 7cups. One way to share with friends/family about 7cups is by doing this:

1. Go to your own My Growth Path page

2. Scroll down to where it says My Personal Link (it's near the bottom on the Left hand side)

3. Copy and paste the url into Facebook or Twitter or wherever you want!

(I'm not sure if that's exactly what you meant, but I hope it'll help in some way!) ~ Platy
