The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (Week 8 / May 3)
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 (1 day = 1 star). Once you earn 30 stars, you will receive the exclusive "All for one" badge!
After 7 weeks of successful growth, we saw our first group of All for ones! Swing by this post to give them some love!
Congratulations to everyone who has earned stars for their acts of community spirit! As always, if I am off count, PM me.

Your kind words mean the world to me!💕 You're an excellent co-host and always welcome 😊 Thank you so much for being a part of our community!
@ShadowFaerie
I'm happy to be a part of this community, and you're very kind. Many thanks! 😊
@Heather225 Oooohhhh lala! Look 👀 at all those pretty shiny stars! Way to go, trailblazers! ⭐️🌟💫 I am so proud of you all!
@Heather225 Hey, what do ya think about having tiers to this thing? 60, 100, etc. 😂🤣 Should those of us who have more than 30 🌟 keep on participating and coming back to document?
@Magicpawsoffuture Omggggg yayyyy!! Awesome job! Big congratulations on reaching your 30 🌟! You rock big time, paws! Enjoy your shiny new badge. You earned it and deserve it! ❤️
Hey @MeilleureAmie I 👀 you on the ⭐️ board! Yayyy! See, you got in right in the nick of time! 😂🤣 You better keep coming back here too! You better or else. 😉 Lol.
@YourCaringConfidant
Yes I was thinking the same. You and I always on the same wavelength :D
I am going to go through our badges to see if there are any we can repurpose for this.
@Heather225 Yayyy! That'd be awesome! Ty!
@YourCaringConfidant
Aww, sweetie! This sounds like such a wonderful idea 🤗💕.
@YourCaringConfidant With the determination you dragged me last time, getting on that board exactly on time was a done deal 🤧😂
And heyy, no need for threats :D I'm a good kid now :) and have understood the lesson well. Its either I use my free will, come here, write down my contributions, and leave safely... or I get dragged again and go back with fresh bruises T-T😂
@MeilleureAmie Omg! You're crackin' me up here! 😂🤣 I knew you was one smart cookie! 🥰
@YourCaringConfidant 🤍😂
@Magicpawsoffuture you're doing a fabulous job. Keep up the golden work. Congratulations on the badge!
Spending time in 50+ room
@stormieandpaws We are in a new week. Can you copy your comment and transfer it here to document on this thread? 😀
@YourCaringConfidant
not sure how to do that was did not bookmark other thread up until now we did not know this was going on but our mind been on the health stuff and family stuff so missed it
@Heather225
I'm commenting on behalf of @stormieandpaws
we always try to greet others in chat rooms can be harder when way busy also been spending more time in SC just to listen and support others in there
we already a forum supporter
kindness can be as we try as saying we can relate to things we can to let others know they not alone in things that they matter
need to get back into greeting in forum new members we do that in chat a lot
@trueconfidant123 @Heather225
thanks to you both we been doing this for most of the last year just never know this was going on but now we do lol
@Heather225 I've enjoyed helping launch the Social Support group chat and ensuring everyone has a great safe space!

@Heather225
Is the post meant to say welcome to week 8 not week 7? It says week 8 in the title and the previous post was for week 7?
Good catch
