Joined 7 Cups Community in April 2018? Say "Hello" here!
Hello Lovely People!! I'm Obs, a fellow listener here. 
How're you doing? If you're new in this community and joined us in April 2018?
Then, say "Hello" here and join us to get to know others who joined in April as well.
Yay! Looking forward to know each other. Feel free to connect with us. We are here with you.
Welcome to 7Cups Community. We're glad to see you joined and connected with us.
How can I contact a member directly or on their profile? I still can't figure out how most of this site works. Grrr.
@CantStepOut I am sorry but I don't think members can have one on one chats, I think they can only communicate in group chats. feel free to reach out to listeners for 1 on 1 chats.
@ryanccomety
I kind of figured that's how cups works. I'm glad I know that now. It will change the way I interface with this site in the future. Thanks.
Hi . Does anyone know why it's called 7 cups I'm still new here
@kimmeku
Good question, I hope someone answers.
@kimmeku
i can help you with this one! The name of the community/website is based off of a poem - i have copied some information, and the poem, from the Buddha Groove website:
Long before Starbucks sold Zen tea, green teas were used for healing and meditative purposes, to restore balance and stillness in life. Today, each cup we drink unites us with greater Zen traditions that go far beyond modern conventions.
This short poem is an ancient meditation on teas ability to transcend its cup and stimulate mindfulness and tranquility in our day.
7 Cups of Tea
The first cup moistens the throat;
The second shatters all feelings of solitude;
The third cleans the digestion, and brings to mind the wisdom of 5,000 volumes;
The fourth induces perspiration, evaporating all of lifes trials and tribulations;
With the fifth cup, body sharpens, crisp;
And the sixth cup is the first on the road to enlightenment;
The seventh cup sits steaming – it neednt be drunk, as from head to feet one rises to the abode of the immortals.
(Lu Tong, 9th century)
Tea is a delicate balancing act involving water, fire and leaves. When the balance is perfect, as in a freshly poured tea cup, the resulting harmony can travel with you long after youve finished the last sip.

Welcome to 7 Cups! 
@Dizmonster
Welcome. I know what you mean about others seeing something we are missing. I feel the same way. Keep coming back and don't give up.
Hi everyone, I'm Breesy. I'm so glad I found this site - it's encouraging to know there are people out there who care.
@Breesy

Hey everyone thanks for the invite. I prefer to go by Dizzy or Dizmonster even though neither are my real name. I've barely just joined today so I am doing the opposite of what I normally do and am being optimistic. Everyone seems chill we all got a story and we all got issues. So why judge each other I think some of us do that all to well without any help *coughs me coughs* well I am a night owl for all those who need a late night ear :)
@Dizmonster welcome to 7 cups. I also just joined and hope it can help me with my struggles.
Hi

@affableLime7171 You're so relatable! I'm also new here. I have this feeling of wanting to be friends with a lot of people here but my shyness always gets the better of me.
Hello there. Just joined today and I hope this new path can help me in my journey towards recovery
