Honoring Sarah's Birthday - 17th April 2015

The 17th of April is an incredibly special day in 7 cups. It was the special birthday celebration of two brilliant ladies, @Sarah and @CadenceWe wished Cadence a very lovely birthday in this earlier thread, and now for our super amazing mentor and wonderful listener, Sarah!

Sarah has been with us for almost 9 months now - even though it's rather difficult to remember how this site has been before her here! She honours our listener community with her calm and positive presence, and sweet and kind personality. Every single person who has has the pleasure of interacting with her knows what a beautiful heart she possesses! There's not a single part of this community that hasn't been benefited by the effort Sarah dedicates to our 7cups family and it is simply astonishing to witness how above and beyond the basic listener duty she goes to make this site as best as she can.

Sarah, you are utterly and amazingly brilliant. There's no two ways about it! You're someone that any listener can look up to as one of the best role models possible, and a perfect example of someone who tries her best for everyone around her! You embody the traits a listener needs perfectly: kindness, support, care and empathy. And I could say a trillion times how wonderful you are, yet it wouldn't ever suffice. We truly are such a fortunate community to have such a kind soul amongst us and we genuinely value you so much. Your impact on this site is invaluable and there's no one who could ever contest that.

I hope you know that we will always cherish the amazing contributions that you've provided, the wise and warm lessons you have taught many, and best of all the heartfelt love you have shared with all of us. I hope that we will have the honour of being able to celebrate many more birthdays after this one. I hope that you never ever forget that we love, appreciate and value you so very much. I hope that you receive all the love and support you have given so many of us a million times more. But more than anything else I hope that you find all the happiness to exist, because you deserve all good in the world and I'd give anything to be able to give you that!

You do an astoundingly awesome amount for all of us here at 7cups so Iara and I decided to get a few fantastic people together to share some lovely birthday wishes for you! You've touched so many hearts, so many lives, and put millions of smiles on millions of faces. So without further ado, sit back, relax and enjoy the wonderful words of your fellow listeners in THIS SLIDESHOW!(I was meant to do a video and I DID mean to but... well scroll down and read the apology list :( :P)

A huge huge thank you for all the astonishingly brilliant people who contributed such lovely messages! You guys are such wonderful souls who I couldn't have done this without! Sending SO MANY hugs and cake your way!

@Noasu @EmpatheticDude @Justin @Michaelmichael @Jadie @Gracey @Laura @Pam @Jaelin @Jessica @Flourish @MonBon @Chester @bestTruth96 @Silentlistener97 @littlepony @Lynnie @Lyra @Farheen @Sparkleofhope @Resisti @OrunLeon @Jake @Ringingbells2015 @Agrish @Aishaaa_

Another big warm thank you hug to @Iara for helping me send around the form to everyone and being so very supportive and encouraging! I couldn't have done this at all without you Iara, thank you greatly! Your help is so appreciated and it means the world to me that you're always so wonderful! You're always so so amazingly kind and eager to offer any assistance possible, and I love you so much!

And of course, an enormous belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the special @Sarah who always brightens up my day being the sparkly awesome rainbow she is, and for being not only a wonderful inspiration, but a super lovely friend. I am so thankful for having you in my life!

A quick list of apologies:
Apology #1 - for, of course, the late timing... It's terrible of me I know to post this 2 days late and I have no excuse apart from the fact that I've been unwell and thus, unable topost on time. I am SO SO SORRY about this, and I feel so dreadful that I couldn't post this on your birthday and I offer my hugest apologies :( I do hope you can forgive me!
Apology #2 - for the slideshow! I do have to mention that I have no skill in photo editing nor video making and all that techie stuff, and then iMovie decided to stop working... So I had to resort to a slideshow last-minute since I didn't want it to go to waste :/ I'm so sorry! But, well, it's the thought that counts and I hope you do love it!
Apology #3 - for anyone I've forgotten to tag! And for anyone I've sent the form to multiple times by accident, thanks for being so kind about it! And and and, for anyone who I didn't manage to send the form to and wanted to be a part of it! I am SO sorry!

So, my fellow awesome listeners, please join me in wishing Sarah a brilliant (belated :P) birthday and a wonderful upcoming year! We all certainly hope you've enjoyed your birthday Sarah....and hoping for some cake too ;) *discreetly outstretches hand*

You are so appreciated by every single one of us Sarah, we love you to pieces!

Mountains of big hugs, love and birthday balloons,

Zara ?
