Cadie's super secret Community Leader Appreciation Day plan!

@Cadence

It's so thoughtful of you to write so many shoutouts for the listener community. The shoutouts are so genuine and sweet! Thank you so much with your contribution to the listener community with the appreciation team. It always feels nice to be appreciated :)

@Lee - You came back after I did my mentor list, but you know damn well I'd never let you slip through the cracks. You are the embodiment of love. In another thread, I said that one of my fondest memories of being a listener was chatting with someone who I had a really spiritual connection with. That being said, you, too, are one of those kinds of people that I feel instantly drawn to. You have such a beautiful spirit and mind, you're intelligent and wise, and you always know just the right things to say. I am so beyond appreciative of your existence, and I am so glad that you came back. I really, really missed you. <3

Went through the mentor list once more and found a few people who weren't there when I made my list! It's cool, though, here's more shoutouts!

@IceDad - You are very friendly in the chatrooms, and I always feel at ease when you're around. You've got this brilliantly calm aura and rational way of looking at things, and it honestly just makes everything go by much smoother. Hell, if that's not proof, you make relaxation scripts and post them on your profile! How cool is that? Seriously man, that's so rad.

@KristenHR - You joined around the same time as me, yet our paths have very rarely crossed! :o That really surprises me, if I can be honest! But, in every interaction I've seen you do on the site, you've shown kindness, compassion, and beauty, and that's really hard to replicate. You're a very important part of this community, and I am thankful you're here!

@CalmSunset - I think it's really rad that you monitor quality and teen quality! Your dedication here is amazing, and just from getting a read of your profile, I can tell that you're an amazingly dynamic human being. I admire your ability to take self care breaks, to prioritize your irl work, and to let everyone know in a really sweet and apologetic manner. I could really learn something from you <3

@Mayarainbow2 - Oh man, I remember when you were a teenie and I just couldn't wait to talk with you! You're just a really beautiful human being, and I've really enjoyed our talks. It may have been a while, but you've imprinted such positive memories that I feel as though we could pick up again at any time. Thank you for being a wonderful friend!

@Cadence - you are an epic appreciator and I hope you realize how many of us in this community value your contributions extremely.

@Cadence

Thank you so very much for doing this!
I don't know if you realize it, but :

Seriously!

I will pile on to @Cadence thread ,mine won't be as eloquent as hers but well I must give my thanks to the many people who have had such a deep impact that we have learned so many things which transcend the 7cups online boundaries and would be so helpful in real life .

@Cadence - so who's Cadence ? now thats a question which I thought I should answer but everybody knows her , those who havent interacted with cady have seen those long posts If I may its difficult to be on 7cups for even a month without crossing paths with Cady.98 shout outs wow thats a real record , you live upto the name of appreciation queen but thats not it you are a voracious reader and you know to reach out to people be it someone who you have never spoken to.you completed two years on 7cups in April you have been a mentor since as long as I can remember .Every post of yours even if for the same person is different , you know how to make someones day, in this case you know how to make 98 peoples day.Thanks a lot for everything.Thank you for being such an integral part of the 7cups .

@AdventuRin - Rin was one of the first mentors I reached out to , coincidentally whenever I needed help and I would go around searching for a mentor in the sole listener room we had I always found Rin ,maybe I always thought of some work when I saw Rin ,but she was someone who always always had time for everyone ,and was actually someone with a vast knowledge of 7cups who always had some solution at hand, there was never an answer which she didnt have.There are some mentors you become friends with some for some reason you always have that relation where they are your go to in times of need .Rin was both to so many of us.Whenever I think of Rin I always think of a hawk (and I mean it in Utmost respect).The protector of 7cups values and what we stand for.Its not said enough but we do miss you from the bottom of our hearts and what we would give to have you back with us,your return would make 7cups so much more stronger.

@Iara - First mentor leader then Ambassador then Community manager Iara is someone who exudes honesty ,extremely kind even if you have done something wrong Iara will be honest with you ,someone you can go to with silliest complaints and sillier topics of discussions and you can be brutallly honest ,you never have to worry about being diplomatic or chosing your words carefully.The only complaint we can have with her is that we dont have enough of Iaras if only we could clone to get a few more like you and we would all be so much happier, Iara1 can always be in TL, Iara2 in the adult rooms,Iara3 can be in the forums,Iara4 can study and so on but you get the gist .Actually the amount of work she does I sometimes wonder how many of her are working at different places at different points of time.Thats an ability she shares with the next leader @Laura , Thank you Iara for being you .

@Laura - The amount of work Laura does is mind boggling shes here there everywhere , I will be lazily loitering around on 7cups and suddenly see a message by her in some room before I can even reply she replies to a post, or starts a new thread aand I wonder wasnt she just here and before I am over my confusion is shes done some 100 other things and is also winning (or trying to win) the last post game.When you talk to her she has 1000 other things on her mind yet it seems you have her full attention , you tell her 10 things and she will peacefuly compartmentalize them to store them for future use. For all those who have never interacted with her (maybe you were scared ) just send her a message and talk to her you will learn a lot and she will make you think.(just dont send her a message all at once else her mailbox will break this post will be blamed :P).Well Laura thank you for bearing with the resilient me .

@Annie - Annie has been here since August 2013 and yet she's someone who is as excited as a listener who just signed up. Always ready to do something new, there's never a moment of fatigue you can see on Annie. Going out of her way for everyone, always ready to teach always ready to learn. There's so much you know about so many different things. Thank you for listening to everything I have to say however silly I have been

@cadence this thread is the wonderfful embodiement of love and kindness. All of the leaders in this thread deserve so much thanks for their special work at 7 Cups. Thank you for giving it to them in this special way. You have set a wonderful tone amongst us and I am very thankful for that. This thread is incredible & so are you!

Thank you for pulling this together, I know it's a lot of work... but well worth it!
