🎂🥂🥙🍻🍰🎂🥂🥙🍻🍰🎂🥂🥙🍻🍰🎂🥂🥙🍻🍰🎂🥂🥙🍻🍰
Dear Josh,
Happy birthday! 🎉🎊🎉
You are the most amazing person I’ve ever met on 7 Cups. You made me believe that a perfect stranger can offer a safe place for another stranger. Your kindness and acceptance allow me to just be myself, and for that, I thank my God every time I remember you. Today I pray with joy that God will give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. Thanks for being born; thanks for being my listener, my mentor, my friend; thanks for being you! —Sarah
Josh,
Happy birthday to a really great mentor, awesome listener, and generous person. You are one of the reasons I excelled as a listener, and I am grateful for your feedback and guidance as I was learning. I hope this coming year brings you all of the best. You are awesome, and kind, and special. --MidwesternCalmSeeker a/k/a Mia

@theriverissinging
Thank you! You're right that we haven't interacted much, but I see you too and I've also been admiring you from afar. 😊 You're one of a handful of people where if I see your name above a response to a thread, even before I read what you've written, I have an immediate trust that that thread is taken care of and I don't need to worry about it.
@QuietMagic
Aw thank you, that was very sweet and I hope I measure up to it. Keep being you! ❤️
(PS: I didn't receive the notification back then but I did this time!)
Aye aye , never saw this one coming 😝kidding haha ! This is fantabulous @MagicalSarah , thankyou for letting us all know about this magical day !! ❤
Lovely messages ,everyone! ❤
Hey hey Josh, it's your birthday ! Yay, today is one very magical day for us then ! Happiest Birthday , may you continue to spread your magic around ( 7 cups and the world ) always! Thankyou for being *you* , your compassion has no bounds. It is a true honor to have come across you and your contributions and support in my listening journey have been significant and will always be cherished, I am so glad to not be the only one admiring your reflection and validation skills ! ❤ keep being amazing and have a great day and year ahead @QuietMagic 🤗
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Hi! I can't believe I've known you for so long that I actually recognize that Halloween avatar from last year. 😊 You do so much here and I have no idea how you do it. Not only just the quantity of places where you're contributing but also just the quality of what you're doing in those spaces.
You have this really infectious energy that I don't have (which isn't a criticism of me but just a personality/style difference ). But it's so well-balanced by the fact that you hear and connect with what people are saying. (Just to give an example, I remember during the Answerathon about a month ago, I was looking through some of your responses--because I was stunned that there were so many--and every single one of them showed that you had understood what the person had written.) You're the whole package.
@QuietMagic
Aw yes it has been a while, you're amazing for recognizing this oldie pfp haha ! Thankyou for such kind words , Josh ! Truly made my dayy ( or maybe my week or whole year hehe) . I am so honored to hear that really! I love the fact that you notice and you don't hesitate in telling people that you do , feeling *seen* around in this huge place by a wonderful human like you is an exceptionally heart warming moment for me !
Big thankyou again ! Means so so much !
You're so very appreciated for contributing to the community in so many different ways in so many different areas tooo . Sometimes you contribute without even making it seem like " doing something extra/ different " -- but for me, even something like correcting other people's tags in forums, making sure the right people make it to the post they've been mentioned is , is a huge thing in itself , that really is kindness personified and you're so great for doing it often and so much more ! Keep being youuu ! You're no less than a whole package of all things wonderful and all qualities fabulous yourself !
I hope you had a great day ❤
Ps : I did receive the notification for the 2nd tag ! Forums really be playing with us lol ! Thanks for noticing and tagging again.
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Thank you for the kind comments! 💜 I'm glad the tag correcting is seen as a positive rather than me being overbearing. 😊
@MagicalSarah
I knew you were up to no good! 😃 Thanks so much! This is a really great gift. Right back at you: thanks for supporting me in so many ways. You're one of the people I've known the longest on this site, and it's been really fun and meaningful maintaining that connection and seeing it change while both of us have evolved in different ways. If it weren't for your encouragement I wouldn't be doing any of the things I'm currently doing. You're more excited about my goals and successes than I am and it becomes sort of contagious. 😊
@MidwesternCalmSeeker
Hi Mia! I'm happy you exist. I get a really stable, calm, warm vibe from you. In terms of the mentoring, I felt like you came out of the box already fully assembled. 😊 It makes me happy to see you contributing around the site in so many ways.
@sereneButton43
Thank you! I've really enjoyed working with you on everything and I feel proud being part of a team that has you on it. It's happened multiple times that I've had some threads on my to-do list, and I'll look some time later and see that you've responded to them perfectly. And I'll just feel like "Wow, that's awesome... Serene handled that flawlessly. I don't have to do anything today. 😊" It's been comforting knowing that you're there. I'm looking forward to all of the things we have coming up so that even more people get to see how awesome you are.
@EvelyneRose
I'm really appreciative for your believing in me. You reached out to me at a point when I was standing on the outside looking in and I felt like I had no power, nothing to contribute, and no reason to expect anybody to care or respect what I had to say. You made me feel heard and made it possible for me to take all of my energy and pour it into something meaningful in a way that hadn't happened before in years, which has been a huge confidence boost and has transformed me in some permanent ways.
You're a great person, and I think that's something everybody here would agree on. 😊 You live according to your ideals and honor your own moral compass, which is really hard to do when there are so many perspectives to balance. And yet you are also deeply pragmatic, realistic, practical, and care about actualizing those ideals concretely in the world through action. You walk the walk and lead by example. We're different people, but in terms of your spirit, I consider you my teacher and role model.
@ Anonymous
I think I know who you are. 😊 Assuming I'm right, you're one of the most compassionate people I've ever met. It's a rare gift with a lot of unseen costs, and once you figure out how to master/harness it and compensate for the hardships that it brings, you're going to be an unbelievable force for good in the world.
@ouiCherie
I haven't had a chance to interact with you much yet, but all of my limited experiences have been positive. I've seen only just a small amount of what you've been doing and you're doing amazing stuff. 😊 A few weeks ago, I was chatting with someone privately, and just out of the blue (without me saying anything) they started talking about how you're supporting them and how trustworthy, understanding, and special you are. You must be doing something right. 😃
@ Alex
Hello! When I first started chatting with you, I felt like I understood you as "just" someone who is insightful, perceptive, considerate, conscientious, and extraordinarily open-minded. 😊 All of that would totally be enough. Then I realized you have a bunch of other amazing qualities that I wasn't initially aware of. 1) Everything that you do is in spite of significant limitations and the amount of effort must be staggering. 2) You have a passionate, spontaneous, intuitive side you've been nourishing that leads to this fire/intensity/drive/confidence that's brilliantly powerful. You're someone who I trust to always continue changing and evolving. 💜
Sarah told me that she didn't get any notification for my post. I just tested and confirmed forum tags are currently working. I'm not sure if forum tags might have been temporarily broken earlier today, but re-tagging people in a new post just to be on the safe side.
@MidwesternCalmSeeker @sereneButton43 @EvelyneRose @ouiCherie @theriverissinging @Sunisshiningandsoareyou
@QuietMagic
Got your tag 🙃
Hope your bday went good 💜 btw, I may need to catch you up on PM sometime soon. Would that be okay?
@ouiCherie
Sure, please do!
