The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (July 20)
Welcome to this week's Community Beacon! For those who might be new to this initiative, The Weekly Beacon is our new tradition in which we share simple, small ways you can lend a hand in the community. The heart of 7 Cups has always been the people in it, and you do not need official badges, special training, or hours of free time to make a difference in someone else's day.
🌟 The Recognition Board 🌟
Every day you reply to these weekly threads to let us know you completed one of the tasks, you earn a star. You can earn up to 7 each week for each day of the week (1 day = 1 star). Once you earn 30 stars, you will receive the exclusive "All for one" badge!
Congratulations to everyone who has earned stars for their acts of community spirit!
(Thanks to the lovely @MeilleureAmie for counting stars!)

Day 4: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Updated my profile bio to fit in my new leadership (I don't talk much what I'm doing so it was a huge transformation) 👏
@HealingwithMinionn Took a read at your profile and wow! You do so much here, I had no idea. Found out new things about you. I had no idea you were atl. I truly believe it takes special people to be able to listen to young people and that it requires a lot of care and understanding. Bless your heart! ❤️ Actually, congratulations on all of your roles. Each role you fulfil, you really are making a difference and impact on another. I think it's beautiful. Also, a sweet reminder that you take time for you if you ever need. Hope you have a great day. 😀
@YourCaringConfidant Thank you for your kindness about my roles and my health. That made me feel great but a bit shy😅. People told me to update it yesterday so I spent 3 hours to do. If nobody told me I guess I still left invisible roles.
