Thank You Glen!
Hello All -
I wanted to take a brief pause from my day to call attention to someone I admire. This person is our founder, @GlenM. Glen founded 7 Cups in 2013 and since then he has worked insanely hard to get 7 Cups moving in the right direction. As someone who has had a front row seat to this process for over 2 years, I can tell you, this is no easy feat. It is harder than you could imagine. It takes courage, guts, grit and perseverance. By all accounts, he has done an incredible job.
Glen has shown time and again his love and support of our community. As the founder of 7 Cups, he has and will continue to be the recipient of criticism. Unlike many founders, Glen has no problem diving in and engaging in difficult conversations with all of us. We are very lucky to have such a hands-on founder. If you have read any of his forum posts over the last 2 years or 7 Cups For The Searching Soul, it is easy to see how much he loves our vibrant community and how much he has personally sacrificed to make 7 Cups a reality. He is quick, smart and well spoken. It is his love for what we are doing that drives me, and all of us.
Like me, he believes firmly in creating a global mental health system that will change the world and that technology can be used to creatively solve problems. Whether you have interacted with him personally, read his forum posts, heard his voice on a call or you have never encountered him, I am here to tell you, he is a wonderful, authentic, hard working, dedicated person, who we are lucky to have.
He has taught me a great deal and supported me throughout my time at 7 Cups, which I have passed forward into the community, to all of you. I am incredibly thankful for his leadership, go-getter approach and his vision to create a loving support community.
I wanted to take some time out to say thank you to Glen for his work on 7 Cups. What we are doing is challenging, but with his leadership, I am confident we can become sustainable and reach our goals. The future is bright!
Please join me in giving our fearless leader a little love! He deserves it!
Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication. You have changed the lives of so many, including myself. We all need someone that inspires us to do better and you're indeed one of those!
Thank you again.

Dear Glen,
7 Cups of Tea is AN AMAZING CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD!
and YOU'RE AMAZING TO HAVE CREATED IT!
I haven't said this to you before because I'm a bit shy and old-fashioned, and praising the guy at the top seemed like ... apple-polishing. But, D'UH -- everybody needs appreciation!! How silly of me to hold myself back all this time! Jeez, I know how good it feels when I get a warm, appreciative shout out in the Forum.
In addition, I'd like to share something I posted in the Feed a few days ago:
" ' What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.' --By Carl Sagan, from The Cosmos.
"And it made me think of 7 Cups:
"How amazing 7 Cups of Tea is. On a screen, listeners see funny black squiggles. Upon reading thoughtfully and empathetically, they're inside the heart of another person, maybe somebody in India, Germany, New Zealand, or America. Across the world, two people talk, directly to each other. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant continents. Listening and talking and sharing--they can break the shackles of loneliness and despair.
"7 Cups of Tea is proof that humans are capable of working magic."
Thank you, thank you, Glen, for your vision and energy and courage and creativity and persevering spirit in creating and nurturing this amazing community.
You've changed the world. (And at the very least, you changed my life.) You rock!
