@Amanda84
We've seen each other around lots and I appreciate your presence and contributions. Having extra space to ask you questions is great!
You already mentioned the passion/motivation that brings you to participate more deeply in the forums. I love that. How do you see yourself applying those passions?
What is something unique to you that you bring to the forums, or anywhere else you participate here?
What sorts of forum posts do you find particularly meaningful to you?
What sorts of forum posts do you see as particularly "valuable" and why?
What do you aspire to at 7 cups (any particular goals or additional roles you're moving toward, for example)?
Is there any way you'd like to have an impact on any broader aspect of 7 cups?
Lots of stuff to chew on there. But I'm truly interested. And it's me after all so I'm just gonna ask. 😁 Obviously, you can answer or not answer whatever you like.

@JustSophia
Great questions 🥰
I find my passion is more in the forums than anywhere else.
I would see the needs reply section getting bigger and bigger and sometimes that's someone's first time reaching out.
So I wanted them to get a good first impression.
A warm welcome.
And most importantly to be heard
I love the icebreakers because they allow you to be silly, to switch off and to just be, and when you see having a hard time, that's more important than people give it credit for.
I am inclusive.
I support everyone the same.
I love supporting other listeners and seeing their amazing posts and I have no ego.
I just want the forums to be warm, engaging and active and if I can help in any way for now and going forward on cups, that's all I ask for 🥰
@Amanda84
ooo... your responses inspire more questions, of course!
What do you think creates a good first impression and a sense of warm welcome? Where do you think icebreakers are most effective in fostering positive mood/interactions?
I love your inclusiveness and support in general - I've definitely seen that around here, including with my own posts (thank you).
@JustSophia
A good first impression is just being yourself.
Including everyone.
Putting in that effort to engage.
Being active .
Icebreakers work anytime , they allow you to get to know people in a mess stressful way.
It's light.
Sometimes the chats are too much and people find that hard to say, but they are and you need to offload and reset.
I'm glad to support your posts and see you around cups 💙🤗
@Amanda84
Thanks so much for sharing all of this, Amanda. I so appreciate hearing more about what you think, and I especially appreciate your focus on inclusiveness and acceptance!
I don't know exactly what you mean by a chat being "too much"? I'd be interested in hearing more, if you'd like to say. I'm not sure if we would always agree in the way we think about that? Heck, the way I talk about things may be in the "too much" category. Maybe it even is right now. LOL If that is the case, I am perfectly ok with you (or anyone!) saying so, That is not conflict, to me. Whether or not your statement applies to me, though, I am always interested in hearing and understanding more about peoples' thoughts. When they do happen to be different than mine, I often learn a lot from it. Actually, I tend to learn a lot from people's thoughts, no matter what. I love the opportunities that greater exploration and understanding bring.
I deeply value your perspectives whatever they are (which is why I ask such questions!). I definitely see and feel how much you contribute to this community. Thank you for offering everything you do, and for being exactly who you are. 😊
@Amanda84 You are going to be awesome as a forum supporter! 😊

What’s a compliment that secretly makes your whole day? ☺️🤗
@QuietByNature
Oooh that's good, what would make my day is genuinely seeing a smile on someone's face for nothing more than my presence 🥰
@Amanda84
what’s your dream vacation?
@placidTortoise8392
Oh that's good. My dream vacation would be to go to Italy, see the sites, I don't like sunbathing or lying around, I'm more adventurous and active 🤗
Italy sounds fun. i want to travel the whole world one day.
