...See more Hello, everybirdy!! In celebration of 7 Cups' 13th birthday (July 7th!), we want to recognize and appreciate the contributions, accomplishments, and milestones we achieved both individually and as a community. A "paper plate award" is a humorous, informal, and often homemade award given to someone to recognize a unique, funny, or specific characteristic, habit, or contribution, put on in various settings like schools, sports teams, or community events. In the context of 7 Cups, a Paper Plate award is given to a community member for their unique personality and contribution to the community. We will share the awards winners as part of our 13th 7 Cups Birthday events.  The rules of nomination are simple: * Anyone can nominate anyone! Yes, you can nominate yourself! * You may submit as many nominations as you like! Some examples:  * @Heather225 earns the paper plate award for the most emojis * This year’s paper plate award goes to me because ___________ * Paper Plate Award goes to 7 Cups for ______________ * To @Username for ______________  ✨ Submit your nominations here! [https://forms.gle/u47wFKyZBYg6ozTe6] Form closes July 10th!! Be creative and have fun!!  ------------------------- We expect to announce the final awards by July 24th!

It could be a word about the community as a whole, or about the people who make it special - from listeners and members to leaders, peers, and everyone who helps care flow here. During our Birthday Events this July, we’ll gather 13 of the most powerful, heartfelt, and relatable words from the community and celebrate them together. ✨ Submit your word(s) here [https://forms.gle/txkML88nfMaN6bor9] ------------------------- Already submitted?

We'll be talking about how we feel about the world, and sharing any thoughts, worries or feelings about things that are going on around us. BUT You also have to respond to others in the group with empathy each time you post your own comment. That's the rule! Teens @ 6pm EDT Adults @ 8pm EDT Find us in the World Listening Day chat room :)
