Hello there! I'm Desiree. I'm so glad you found me on 7 Cups and selected me as your listener. I honestly suffer from my own share of mental health issues. However, despite my diagnoses, it has taken me a long time to realize that I am not those labels nor do they define me. I would love to support you by lending a listening ear. If you see my status as available, you are welcome to send me a message so we can connect. If my status is set to offline, then please respect that I am not available to offer support at the moment. I do not support any one member for a long period of time, as I believe there needs to be established boundaries. I tend to frequent the forums as there is where I meet so many wonderful members and listeners. Don't ever hesitate to drop me a line and say hi if you see me about.

Appreciation is....

...See more When was the last time you took the time to let someone know that you appreciate them? Were you aware that appreciation can be considered as a skill? According to the IDG Framework, the third dimension Relating-- Caring for Others and the World, appreciation is one of the skills/qualities listed; along with connectedness, humility, and empathy & compassion.  So what is appreciation, you ask? According to the reading, appreciation is... It is taking time to think of others and letting them know. It is uplifting and encouraging. It is giving words of kindness and love to let someone know about the difference/impact they have brought into your life. Showing appreciation helps breed life into the appreciated. It makes them feel valued and special, because that is what they are! You may think "Ohhh, that's so easy. Appreciating is not really a skill. It can't be." But the truth is, it is, and it really isn't all that easy as it seems. Some people struggle to voice how they really feel for various reasons. My stepmom always taught me to "give people their flowers while they are living". Show people you love them, care about them, and appreciate them... while they are still living here on this Earth. Life is too short, so I have a little activity for us all. If you can, please consider joining me in an appreciation activity here on 7 Cups. If you are grateful for someone, let them know you are by filling out the Peer Appreciation Form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsCXyPYjQ4dsfLMh2ZzXC4of1lEutJsSasbkzc6JLDq7b8ow/viewform]. A lovely smile spreader will deliver your note of appreciation beautifully to the person you are appreciating. And if you are a mentor, moderator, or Baron of Big Hearts and know someone who is always displaying acts of kindness wherever they go, please nominate them using the Kindness Crusaders Nomination Form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdMImEjEFVrIZ3k6zXcHDrx7yTiKLNBrZ-Erq5UNOU3jaNZ7A/viewform].  It is my hope that you all join me in this activity to implement this very important skill. The skill of appreciation is one that I find to be of much value. It may not always be easy to do but, I believe, it is a necessity for us all! @Fristo Questions: 1. In what ways can you show someone you appreciate them?  2. Why does appreciation matter in your life? 
Connectedness is...

...See more The third dimension of IDG of Relating-- Caring for Others and the World. According to the reading, "it constitutes the following": * Appreciation  * Connectedness * Humility * Empathy & Compassion Of the following skills/qualities, what stands out the most to me is connectedness.  In simpler terms, it is being apart of something that extends outside of yourself. Some of you may be apart of groups, teams, etc where you have to work together with others in order to accomplish something. Whatever it may be, you form bonds and relationships; that is you connecting! Social connectedness is so important. By being apart of something outside of yourself it can lead to an improved sense of wellbeing. Being wanted, needed, and feeling a sense of belonging is something many of us need and desire. I believe it is the connections we make and the feeling of belonging that help draw us together.   For instance, take 7Cups... we have people of all over joining together to bring kindness to this not so always kind world. We have people who give freely of their time to help support others. And in turn, this platform has become a safe place for many of us. It has become a bonding community bringing us all together. And even though this may be, connectedness has to extend beyond the computer screen and keyboard. It is being able to go outside and soak up the sun. It is being apart of and connected to nature. We need to connect with ourself, each other, and the world.  After reading what connectedness is and its importance, I would like to invite you all to join me in answering two questions to help invoke thought... 1. In what ways is being connected to others important for our wellbeing? 2. Do you believe you have a strong sense of purpose? 
Happy Birthday Anna! 🐳🧁

...See more Happy birthday to my beautiful, amazing twin Anna. From the moment I met @AnnaSilverberg on 7cups, she has been such a great addition to my life. For those of you who know her, you already know the type of heart she has. And for those of you who don't know her, now is the time to get to know one of the most beautiful people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  Anna possesses so many extraordinary qualities. She is supportive, kind, loyal, thoughtful, loving, accepting, and so much more. She is talented beyond measure and has a real gift at capturing the beauty in the world. I know that with everything she does she does it with her whole heart. And her heart is so very big and beautiful. ♡ In the time of knowing her, she has shown that she is a wonderful listener, a mentor, and a friend. I am so blessed to be able to call her my twin and my friend. Normally on here, I always try and maintain boundaries... but often times, some people make their way into my heart and my life and you just can't help but love them. She's one of them and I love her dearly. With that said.... So, everyone please join me in wishing Anna a very happy birthday. She does so much to make others smile... to make me smile... So today, I hope to return just a fraction of those smiles to this most beautiful person.♡ If you have a second to give, please help me in making her birthday one she will never forget. Sending hugs out to those who help make this a success. Xoxo. PS: Twin, these are for you. Just a little something to let you know how special you are to me. I hope you have a beautiful day! Love you.  ------------------------- Tagging some of Anna's buddies: @Floatingdandelion @Communitymodiris @Marje @Confidentrabbit7311 @Asilentobserver @Smilesandears @Gentleemperor @Sleepwalkermw @Tabbycat97 @Wilh3Lm @Avaria @Chaoticlistener @Melodyoftheocean @Tranquilkitty4959 @Communitymodkay @Richuyulin @Beck1 @Kindsoul10 @Erica @Kenzolena @Tobedoctor @Morganwindow @Tifaxemmi @Fristo @Annasilverberg @Goldenrulejg @Grimsmark8 @Hawaii968 @Optimisticempath @Fristo @Rubylistens22 @Kindwolf2023 @Sunisshiningandsoareyou @Victorialove7 @Here4Good74 @Justfarheen @Magnificentnutella @Heathermarie95 @Brightindigo @Teenytinyturtle @Lovemymoonflowers @Warmheartedcamp3360 @Insanepotatu @Somebodyspicy @Listenerpanda007 @Rubyjane00 @Yourcaringconfidant @Jenna
Grief & Loss Check-in: Sept 16 - Sept 30
Grief & Loss / by YourCaringConfidant
Last post
 October 2nd, 2023
...See more Hey everyone. Welcome to the check-in for the second half of September. Here, in this thread, is a safe place for anyone grieving to come to and share. Grief is something we all have gone through and experienced at one point of our lives. It has many forms; and there is no wrong and right way to grieve. I know many of us bottle our feelings inside and try to grieve in silence... but I want you to know that you do not have to deal with it alone. Dealing with grief by yourself can be very difficult and it's so important to seek support if you feel you need it. That is why we have this Grief & Loss community here for those of us needing a place to go. That is why we have this check-in here for those of us who just want to get something off our chest. I read the other day a sweet reminder that we never know what pains someone is dealing with. We sometimes smile even through the pain because that's what we think we have to do. But I encourage you all to be honest with yourself and your feelings and emotions. With that said, please let's all be supportive of one another. While this thread serves as a safe place, if anyone is in need of immediate support, please connect with an available listener here [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] or put a request in the queue. Check-in questions for the second part of September include: 💜 How are you feeling? 💜 What do you miss most about the person or pet you are grieving? 💜 What are some of the ways you are taking care of yourself as you are on the path to heal? Just a gentle reminder that no one has to answer any of the questions above if they do not feel comfortable in sharing. Even still, you are all welcomed to just stop by and say hi, offer kind words to someone else, or just offer a hug or receive a hug. Your choice. ♡

...See more Hey everyone. Desiree here. Many of you know me through my role of being a "smile spreader" and some of you know me through my mission of Desiree's Daffodils [https://www.7cups.com/forum/PositivityGratitude_170/General_2448/DesireesDaffodils_297194/]. My birthday is slowly approaching and 5/22 will be here before I know it. I am big on acts of kindness and spreading joy and love. The amazing @Fristo has come up with an amazing idea and I thought it was absolutely great. That is why for my birthday... in stead of gifts, all I want is YOU.... Yes, you. And you, and you, you over there, and you. This weekend I want you to do something kind for yourself. I want you to show yourself some self- care--- some self love. So be kind to yourself and share with me in the comments below what you did to show you some love! You deserve it and you are so worthy! It would bring me nothing but pure joy knowing that you are being kind to yourself. And as a bonus: do something kind for someone else. Graphics are great! That would be the best birthday gift you could give me. :) Hope everyone has a beautiful day! Thank you for being here to celebrate my birthday weekend with me.
