Community Event 2021: Gift the Gratitude
Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and taking care of yourself, and enjoying the holiday season with your family, friends, and us (7 Cups Community).
Today I am inviting you to participate in the “Gift the Gratitude” Event during this holiday season. In this event, you can create and share anything or something like a
Thank you / Appreciation Note for Someone or the community
A greeting card
Origami or other craftwork
Drawings, Painting, or Sketches
- Any other form of artwork
Pictures of the food you cooked
Or anything or everything in between that you think can be shareable with an ease
All of the above can be either handwritten, handmade, or e-versions
You can tag someone specific to whom you want to give your creation to or you can dedicate it to the community as well. All you have to do is take the pictures of your creation, upload them in your comment (steps outlined below).
The goal of this event is to celebrate and enjoy the holiday season together as a community regardless of the regions we are in. And, also practice the art of giving and gifting to make a difference in someone’s day. As many of you know, our community is based on a gift economy and promotes the culture of giving through listening, supporting, and other ways. So this would be a way to practice that culture together this holiday season and spread cheers, smiles, and joy in each other's lives with our compassionate efforts.
Let’s start creating our gifts of gratitude and share them with each other! :)

So I wanted to share a little something I painted with the community as a way of saying thank you. My painting was an attempt to capture the darkness that I've experienced at different points in my life, something I'm sure many of us can relate to. And while this image isn't the most festive or cheerful, I share this because in my times of darkness the community I've found here on 7cups has been and continues to be a welcomed source of support that has helped me through the gloom and into the glow. And for that I am incredibly grateful to you everyone from @asilientobserver, to the mods, forum leaders, listeners, and the members that make this place welcoming and forever special. A million thank yous. xoxo
@LindseyLobotomy This is such a beautiful painting Lindsey, worth millions of words and emotions. Thank you for creating such a masterpiece and sharing it with us. I am grateful to have you here with us and all the steps you are taking to continue your journey of healing and progress. Sending hugs and beams! Happy Holidays!
@ASilentObserver Awww you are the sweetest. *gives a squeeze back*
@LindseyLobotomy I am super glad that 7cups has been here with you through your hard times. Also, you are super talented!
