The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (May 31)
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!

@Heather225
Thank you H! 😊

@trueconfidant123

@ACozyBunny thank you 😊
@trueconfidant123
*high fives* 😊 True! Good eye 👀
@Heather225
I appreciate you considering my request, Heather 😊. Thank you <3
You guys are incredible and highly esteemed 😊: @sereneMango2512 @Sompu2402 @Diinnaa @UrSweetShinobu
@LoveHashira
Thanks lot Hashiraa because these guys work hard for the community and they deserve all the appreciation 💛💛💛
@Sompu2402 @Diinnaa @UrSweetShinobu
@sereneMango2512
Mr. Modest Max Mango 😜! you really did great as much as other <3
@sereneMango2512
You put our names there? Awww. Thanks is a small word to say @LoveHashira ❤️❤️❤️.
@Heather225 thank you for so generously accepting her request and hangin our names with others. You are kind ppl.
Heather, i shinobu, w I uld like to give my star to @LoveHashira if it's possible ❤️ or nominate her for additional star too if it works. I know I know, that its my first star ⭐ n it came from my bestiee so it's even more close to my heart ❤️ She is the root for us all getting a star. She saw us closer than others n requesting you a star for us all. If the person gets a star for doing good, then the person who wants to make them seen by others should be showered with all the stars in the world 🌟💫. She took the extra mile of doing this tho she didn't need the reason to do so. i wholeheartedly love to see this star on my bestiee more than me. Idk if i can request but i still wanted to ask you. Thanks so much advance heather.
*Infinite hugs & love attack* @LoveHashira ❤️❤️❤️ love u lots
@UrSweetShinobu
Awe SHINO 🤗!
You really know how to make me happy and smile, don't you? 😊
Thank you so much for your sweet words. Honestly, seeing all of you receive stars made me happier than receiving one myself. 🌟 Watching amazing people get recognized for the kindness, support, and light they bring to others is already a reward for me 😊
And now you're trying to give me YOUR first star too? How sweet you can be? That's one of the sweetest thing. Please keep that precious star. You earned it, and I am so proud of you.
What means the most to me isn't the star itself, but it's having wonderful friends like you beside me. Your kindness, support, and friendship are worth more than a sky full of stars :)
Thank you for always being your beautiful, caring self. Sending back infinite hugs, love attacks, and Shinobu-approved butterfly blessings hehe 🦋💕
And REALLY?? i really love that image you created. it's so adorable. I saved it! hehe <3
Love u lots too, bestiee ❤️❤️

Can someone who can edit posts, please bold my dates for me please? I don't like how my other dates didn't bold when I copied over. 😭 Ahhhhhh. I need my stuff to be consistent. Lol.
@YourCaringConfidant you're so particular about everything, Miss Perfect 😭❣️
@trueconfidant123 😂🤣 Sssttttoooppp. Lol. I'm serious. You can't tell me it doesn't look weird that the dates aren't in bold. 😂 Now I'm making it difficult on our amazing Twinkle Tracker. Lol.
@YourCaringConfidant
Fixed it for you :)
@Ivy229 Omggg yes! Thank you! You rock! Appreciate you doing it for me! 😉
@YourCaringConfidant
Hehe! The change is due to me. I hope you're not angry with me (╥﹏╥)
H, copied and pasted it here after submitting it that way, and I also thought it would be nice to mention new participants (≧▽≦)
@LoveHashira Yes, of course I'm angry with you. 🤣🤣 See 👀 this is my angry face:
Bahhhhhhhahaha! No, but in all seriousness-- of course not. I'm just a creature of habit is all. 😀 It actually was a great idea doing this, because it does declutter the whole list of some people who had 1 or few 🌟s for weeks on end with no more documenting here. 👏
Appreciate you. 💛
@YourCaringConfidant
*Pouring Buckets of water to calm you down* 👀
So, removing people's from the board was definitely not my idea. it's Heather who came up with the idea. 🤧 Don't be upset or else i would take a bit from the cupcake (◠‿・)—☆ !!
Trying to find the best ways to keep this beautiful thriving initiative tidy as we're so lucky to have it become this popular ð¥°
@Heather225 It's wonder that it got "cluttered" in the first place, imo. 😆😁 It's popular and working, and I love seeing the list of trailblazers grow! Thank you and our Twinkle Tracker ✨️. 💛
@Sompu2402 @UrSweetShinobu @Diinnaa @sereneMango2512
