3 Key Things!

GlenM November 18th, 2019

Please post here 3 key things you have done to help move 7 Cups forward. I will be doing this on a daily basis. Feel free to do it daily, weekly, or monthly. Right now we've got thousands of people doing a lot of work on the site, but we don't have a clear way of being able to support one another. The goal of this thread is to help all of us see all the good work that is going on. Please ask any questions or share thoughts!

6.) Convinced my counselors I was ready to volunteer. Went over, introduced myself, and filled out the application. I start next week.

7.) Made plans to meet a fellow group member outside of the counseling service at Starbucks.

8.) Got phone numbers and made an agenda for what I have to do tomorrow.

9.) Touched base with Chris, Wendy, Cursive, and Seahawk as well as my mom.

1) I reach out to find posts which have had no responses yet, so I can make people feel they are relevant.

2) I give encouragement when ever I see an opportunity.

3) I created a fun fake name thread and maintain it with fresh posts throughout each day and night; here is the link ---> FUN FAKE NAME GAME - PRANK A PAGE

It's the morning, so I'll post yesterday's stuff.

1) realized I was going through a crisis and needed to pull myself out of it, so I got on here after years of being inactive

2) reached out to a friend IRL and went to have a chat with her and came out of it with a lot of insight and good advice

3) started implementing said advice last night by establishing myself an evening routine with one thing that I enjoy: coloring

@fireyseastar97

I can so identify with that! Not spending any money! smiley I love so many concepts, reduce, re-use, recycle. Living well on a shoe string budget. Having moments of gratitude and appreciating what it is that do I have and taking really good care of those things. Thinking differently and decorating with things I have and giving them a place of honor in my home as opposed to purchasing more. These things tell a story about us, make really nice icebreakers and can look so very pretty if it is done well.

I like clipping coupons, planning a head, the concept of stored labor, buying in bulk (saves a lot of money), and cooking a lot of it but knowing proper freezing and storage techniques. Saves me money and time! heart I like how you think! big *hugs* heart

I think it is amazing that you helped your friends in need! heartIt's also really nice that you did this while also working with the issue of job searching! I know this can be so very stressful and sometimes overwhelming! I'm glad you prepared a nice meal for yourself and had a good lunch! smileyyesheart
