The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (Week 7 / April 26)
Welcome to week SEVEN 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 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. 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! Weeks 5 and 6 are combined. As always, if I am off count, PM me.

👋 Help Wanted!
This campaign has become wildly popular (yay!), and to keep it current and ongoing, I need a helper to round up stars every week! If you'd like to do this big ask for me, send me a PM!
@MeilleureAmie You said, "And honestly, I'm the kind of person who only participates when someone drags me in..."
Well, my friend-- consider this me draggin' you in! Participating is super easy and simple. Just post daily on the weekly thread about what you do! It can be simple. Just log what you do and watch your 🌟 count add up. You can earn 1 star every day when you post. That's 7 🌟s a week just for being consistent. See 👀, easy peasy! Anyway, now that you're tagged... get to it. Chop chop! 😂🤣
@YourCaringConfidant Ahhhh, it hurtssss.. how can you smile sooo biggg dragging me, not fairrr... And don't drag me with such determination.. I'll put in the work, go easy on me, pleaseee 😭😭😭
Yeah, participating is super easy, I can see.. but dragging someone!? That can't be that easy on the poor soul being pulled across the floor 😭 So lemme collect my 1 star for being dragged in today xD .. I'll see what I can do to join you guys, so that to shine together with you all 💗😊
And I'll try my best not to get dragged next time 🫠 The floor was quite roughh T-T
@MeilleureAmie Ooohhh nooo! I'm sorry! I was draggin' you all in love! I'm sorry it hurt. I should have made sure you were on carpet, had knee and elbow pads on, and even a helmet. Lol. 😀 Forgive me. Just wanted to encourage you and bring you here to the thread. You certainly deserve to be up there on this list and you will soon enough. ❤️ Hope you have a great day!
@YourCaringConfidant With the carpet, knee and elbow pads, helmet and all.. the dragging was still gonna happen, wasn't it!? 🫣 It's a definite yes, I basically asked for this myself 😭
@MeilleureAmie Ohhhhh don't mind me. Desiree just here smiling at this phone screen as I read your comment. Lol, look at you now. You're getting to know my ways. Yup, it was inevitable and bound to happen. 😂🤣
@YourCaringConfidant
@MeilleureAmie
You guy's have the same kinda energy 👀😣💕
I'm not lurking 😂 
@AiluraTheCat Lol. This is toooo cute, 😴 twin. Made me smile. 😂🤣
@YourCaringConfidant
I'm the happiest person noww!! I made you smileee. You are the cutest 🤗💕
Yayy!! 
@AiluraTheCat Yeah, you're definitely not lurking.. we can SEE that 🤍😂
@MeilleureAmie
Oh no, like you SEE me ?? 😨
How is that possible??? 🤔 Do you have any magical eye's or something!! 🤔 But....
@AiluraTheCat If I had magical eyes, I wouldn't have ended up eating a brick, instead of cake.. maybe I do have them, but they only work occasionally, it seems 🤧😭
@MeilleureAmie Here friend, you can borrow my glasses. Lol. Just warning you though even though it's supposed to help my vision, I still have eye problems. 😂 Use my glasses at your own risk. Lol. They may not work all the time but at least you'll be able to find 🎂! 😋 Share please. 😋
@YourCaringConfidant As long as it helps me find cake, I'll take the glasses gladly 😁 And of course I'll share with youu 🤍:D .. but after making sure it's not a brick. Been through that pain once already, not wanna putt anyone else through it 😭😂
@MeilleureAmie Speak for yourself. I couldn't see 👀 any lurking! I didn't have my glasses on. 😂🤣
@YourCaringConfidant I saw it on your behalf, doing some extra work to get some stars from you as well 😂
@MeilleureAmie
@Heather225
I had spent some time in support room ( i believe, it's not only me wonder why Ppl's always rushing support room while all other rooms are free, ghosted, abandoned 😅😣 )
Spent most time in Loneliness support room 🤗.

@YourCaringConfidant im confused
@PawsomePaws Awww 🐾, don't be. I was just smiling at the playfulness. Hope you're having a nice day.
@PawsomePaws

You mentioned about "what happened there haha"
So i replied, questioning you "Where ?"
And you, "What where"
Me, "There!!"
😂😂😂
Hope u can able to see the picture here now 🤗!
@AiluraTheCat oh yeah
@PawsomePaws 7 Cups has definitely been glitching. The duplicate comments have happened to me. I noticed even if I get a certain error msg where my comment fails to send, if I refresh my page it appears.
@YourCaringConfidant okay thanks
