The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (June 7)
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! (Much love to our lovely Twinkle Tracker @LoveHashira for counting stars!)
To conserve space, we're changing the layout. You'll now see two numbers: the first displays the stars earned that week, and the other is the total running count!

💙 This Week’s Asks 💙
If you have a few minutes today, here are some simple ways you can lend a hand this week:
- Check the Newbie Hub for people introducing themselves, and drop into their posts to acknowledge them
- Greet someone in the Welcome thread (click the >> to go to the most recent page)
- Spend an hour in one of the member rooms, especially during a time of low activity. Welcome everyone who enters the chatrooms to make them feel seen. Click here to visit the Group Chats.
- Visit our brand new Social Support Room (click here) and take the lead on some icebreakers or games!
- Give out a resource to someone! Examples: the 7 Cups Basics, the Listener Quick Guide, or a self-help guide
- Apply for a leadership role! Listeners click here. Members, click here!
If you can do even one of these things, whether just once or for multiple days this week, please reply to this thread and let me know what you did to support our community! It can be anything, not just things on the list (even kindness tasks for yourself!).
Don't forget to tag your friends so they can pitch in and earn stars! ✨ Remember: showing up to this thread each day represents 1 star, and you can earn up to 7 stars each week. ✨
Thank you for helping bring our community closer together through everyday acts of kindness!

Participated in ice breakers.
@Heather225
7/30 Saturday - Greeted some people in the welcome thread.
Each day that I do something do I need to edit & add it to this same post or create a new post each day? Also, do only the tasks listed on the main post count to earn stars or can I do anything on the site as long as I am interacting with other people?
@PeacefulUnic0rn
You're supposed to post it daily under the thread. It can be anything, not just things on the list (even kindness tasks for yourself!).

@YourCaringConfidant I'm confused. Was 20 June a part of last week or do we post in the upcoming thread?
@trueconfidant123 Hey TC 🦩. I'm just still going to post here until the new weekly thread gets posted. The other day H said the new thread wouldn't be posted until Monday. Saturday was the 20th so that would have ended the week. Today is Sunday for me so I just posted my week of 6/21 so it's easy for me to transfer over whenever I need to. If you notice this thread is for the week of 6/7 so it overlaps on the same threads. That's why I have been dating my posts so it's easy for me when I transfer to new weekly posts. Sorry, if I confused you. Lol. Hopefully I didn't confuse you too much. 😆
@YourCaringConfidant no, you didn't confuse me. In fact, I appreciate the detailed explanation. Thank you, Desiree! 🧁💓
@trueconfidant123 My pleasure. ❤️
