The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (Week 2 / March 22)
Welcome to week two of The Weekly Beacon! For those who might be new to this initiative, The Weekly Beacon is our new tradition where we share simple, small ways you can lend a hand around 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 massive difference in someone else's day. We build this community together through everyday acts of kindness!
🌟 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. Once you earn 30 stars, you will receive the exclusive "All for one" badge!
Please join me in giving a round of applause to our trailblazers from last week who stepped up to welcome new members, shared guides, and tagged friends to help. Thank you all so much for your community spirit and for getting this initiative off to a strong start!

💙 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)
- Tell a peer they’re doing a great job in the rooms using this recognition form. / Nominate a listener for a Tulip Award
- Give out a resource to someone! Examples: the 7 Cups Basics, the Listener Quick Guide, or a self-help guide
- Leave a kind review or send a thank-you message to a Listener or community member who has positively impacted your journey recently.
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 off the list!
Don't forget to tag your friends so they can pitch in and earn stars, and you earn a star for tagging too, as that is also a kindness task!! Let's see how many stars we can hand out next week!
Thank you for always looking out for each other. You make this community shine!
Also i sent a gift for my member for making my afternoon 😄

Today, I took a page from @SparkyGizmo and did the same. I don't know why it didn't pop in my brain earlier. Been ❤️ing away on people's journal line a day. When you sit and read it, you can learn about people. We're all different but not really... lol. We're just at different stages. Thanks Sparky for influencing me to do the same. I tend to stick to what's familiar to me. 😀 But ❤️ for you, and ❤️ for you, and you *in my Oprah voice*... and, oh yeah, ❤️ for you over there too! 😂
Greet 👋 people, gave a 🎁, and responded in forums. ✔️
@YourCaringConfidant
Wooo hooooo! 😊 ❤️ And soooooo laughing over here with you in the Oprah voice!!!!! hahaa haha hahaha I pull that stuff too! 🤣
*high fives* 😊 and big big *hugs* ❤️
(and yes, still giggling 🤭. Thank you for your gift 🎁 of laughter!!!!!)
@SparkyGizmo Great! I'll take both the ✋️ and the 🤗👐🫂 too! Thank you kindly! 💙 for you in return.
I shared the self help guide ☺️
@Heather225, I greeted a couple of people in the welcome thread and submitted a recommendation on how the support chats could maybe let people talk for more than 7 minutes if they are having a really hard time.
Question: Do we need to update this daily with what we do, or is it recorded automatically to gain stars?
It's manually counted so daily posts allow me to mark you down ♥️ thanks for helping our lovely community 💞
@Heather225
Thank you for that information :) I love helping this community, it's fulfilling!
