Please don’t nominate me, as I just got “Hosting Shero” Sunday, February 25, 2024. It’s an award I will always treasure, and in fact, I’m printing it out to place on the wall so I can look at it. The award is thanks to You! Thanks to everyone who nominated me! Here's the link to the nomination form next time you notice anyone here hosting well! https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/MemberSharingCircles_2109/HostingHeros_324437/ ♡🌹Conversations are limited to no more than 30 minutes for each chat. You can leave me messages in between chats and I will check back with you.  All conversations are held in strictest confidence!  We can have asynchronous chats, where you leave a message and then when I get to your message, I will leave a message for you, and we can have a conversation that way. This is actually how I prefer to chat since I’m a new puppy mum and my schedule is kind of wild these days.  World Clock and Time Converter: https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ ♡ (^=˃ᆺ˂) 𓇢𓆸 My Fantastic Listener Twin: Mindful Journey22 My Awesome and Amazing Member Twin: Geminieyss4unz ✿ڿڰۣ— ♡🌹CRISIS: 7 cups Listeners do not have the training or back up to support you properly if you are in Crisis.

And he always answered: I believe in the God of Spinoza. Baruch de Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher considered one of the great rationalists of 17th century philosophy, along with Descartes. According to Spinoza, God would say: “Stop praying. I want you to go out into the world and enjoy your life. I want you to sing, have fun and enjoy everything I've made for you. “Stop going into those dark, cold temples that you built yourself and saying they are my house. My house is in the mountains, in the woods, rivers, lakes, beaches. That's where I live and there I express my love for you. “Stop blaming me for your miserable life; I never told you there was anything wrong with you or that you were a sinner, or that your sexuality was a bad thing. Sex is a gift I have given you and with which you can express your love, your ecstasy, your joy. So don't blame me for everything that others made you believe. “Stop reading alleged sacred scriptures that have nothing to do with me. If you can't read me in a sunrise, in a landscape, in the look of your friends, in your son's eyes—you will find me in no book! “Stop asking me, ‘Will you tell me how to do my job?’ Stop being so scared of me. I do not judge you or criticize you, nor get angry or bothered. I am pure love. “Stop asking for forgiveness, there's nothing to forgive. If I made you, I filled you with passions, limitations, pleasures, feelings, needs, inconsistencies, and best of all, free will. Why would I blame you if you respond to something I put in you? How could I punish you for being the way you are, if I'm the one who made you? Do you think I could create a place to burn all my children who behave badly for the rest of eternity? What kind of god would do that? “Respect your peers, and don't give what you don't want for yourself. All I ask is that you pay attention in your life—alertness is your guide. “My beloved, this life is not a test, not a step on the way, not a rehearsal, not a prelude to paradise. This life is the only thing here and now—and it is all you need. “I have set you absolutely free, no prizes or punishments, no sins or virtues, no one carries a marker, no one keeps a record. You are absolutely free to create in your life. It’s you who creates heaven or hell. “Live as if there is nothing beyond this life, as if this is your only chance to enjoy, to love, to exist. Then you will have enjoyed the opportunity I gave you. And if there is an afterlife, rest assured that I won't ask if you behaved right or wrong, I'll ask, ‘Did you like it? Did you have fun? What did you enjoy the most? What did you learn?’ “Stop believing in me; believing is assuming, guessing, imagining. I don't want you to believe in me, I want you to believe in you. I want you to feel me in you when you kiss your beloved, when you tuck in your little girl, when you caress your dog, when you bathe in the sea. “Stop praising me. What kind of egomaniac God do you think I am? I'm bored with being praised. I'm tired of being thanked. Feeling grateful? Prove it by taking care of yourself, your health, your relationships, the world. Express your joy! That's the way to praise me. “Stop complicating things and repeating as a parrot what you've been taught about me. Why do you need more miracles? So many explanations? “The only thing for sure is that you are here, that you are alive, that this world is full of wonders.” ✿ڿڰۣ— John Roedel (author): “Me: Hey God. God: Hello. Me: I'm falling apart. Can you put me back together? God: I would rather not. Me: Why? God: Because you aren't a puzzle. Me: What about all of the pieces of my life that are falling down onto the ground? God: Let them stay there for a while. They fell off for a reason. Take some time and decide if you need any of those pieces back. Me: You don't understand! I'm breaking down! God: No - you don't understand. You are breaking through. What you are feeling are just growing pains. You are shedding the things and the people in your life that are holding you back. You aren't falling apart. You are falling into place. Relax. Take some deep breaths and allow those things you don't need anymore to fall off of you. Quit holding onto the pieces that don't fit you anymore. Let them fall off. Let them go. Me: Once I start doing that, what will be left of me? God: Only the very best pieces of you. Me: I'm scared of changing. God: I keep telling you - You Aren't Changing!! You Are Becoming! Me: Becoming who? God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light and love and charity and hope and courage and joy and mercy and grace and compassion. I made you for more than the shallow pieces you have decided to adorn yourself with that you cling to with such greed and fear. Let those things fall off of you. I love you! Don't change! ... Become! Become! Become who I made you to be. I'm going to keep telling you this until you remember it. Me: There goes another piece. God: Yep. Let it be. Me: So ... I'm not broken? God: Of course not! - but you are breaking like the dawn. It's a new day.

The purpose there was for each individual voice to contribute to collective decisions for the benefit of the group. 𓇢𓆸I believe that in sharing our personal wisdom, support and validation, the group as a whole is enriched greatly and balance and equality are created and respected. 𓇢𓆸Each voice gets the chance to be heard, and in turn, each person develops their own voice. 𓇢𓆸By listening to each voice and incorporating each of our personal wisdom, we can integrate the insights and lived experience of others into our own mentality and coping mechanisms, and become better able to manage the stresses of modern society. 𓇢𓆸Trying a new approach, or seeing something from another perspective, sometimes gives the fresh air necessary to breathe on old thinking and rustle it up to give energy for movement and growth. 𓇢𓆸We also can learn new vocabulary to describe our emotions and become more emotionally literate. For some of us, learning the vocabulary of the heart is a big journey. 𓇢𓆸Much personal growth can be attained when up to 7 minutes of focused sharing time is applied consistently and regularly towards internal sorting, and when the same person who is sharing is also learning to support others. 𓇢𓆸The cohesion of the Sharing Circle group can lend a feeling of community strength that may not be possible individually. 𓇢𓆸This link is about the origin of Sharing Circles within the groups of Indigenous Peoples: https://ravenspeaks.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Sharing_Circle_Instructions_SECONDARY.pdf 𓇢𓆸Here's an article about Sharing Circles and the possibility for restorative justice through them: https://passthefeather.ca/sharing-circles/?v=e4b09f3f8402 𓇢𓆸Finally, there are some strong theoretical principles from group therapy that are taught through groups like the Sharing Circle.

Love with small gestures of kindness. Wipe the dishes. Take care of the trash. Wash someone’s feet, with their permission of course. Give your loved one a back rub. Do something nice without expecting them to notice. God notices. Finance: Be frugal. Live simply within your means. Laugh often. Share. Don’t let money or the lack thereof stand in between you and your Splendid Dreams. Money is simply a construct and a tool. Money will come your way once you open the flow within yourself to receive the abundance that is waiting for you. Help People.  Education: Attain the very highest degree you can. Strive! A degree is something no one can ever take away from you. Your knowledge and skills are woven into your very essence. You will learn how to think without being attached to your thoughts. Rich discussions ensue. Life is more fun. The whole of the World awaits you. From Calm Rosebud for Benitta’s book. 𓇢𓆸 “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”  William Hutchinson Murray ♡ (^=˃ᆺ˂) 𓇢𓆸  “Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. "But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. "A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said.

Hi my name is Misty and I am on a journey for independence and health! I typically respond to all messages within 12 hours.I have been relying on Drs and medication for the past 22 years. I’m currently disabled with diabetes and heart issues but I want more out of life! I am working on getting healthy so I can start a private therapy clinic after completing my LPC!

Hi. Hope you're doing great. Happy to help. Verified listener ✓

Nowadays mental health awareness has increased a lot and for my experience having someone to talk to which is not a close friend or family member about anything on your mind can relief the mental stress.  Having access to a mental health related platform would have helped myself when struggling and now that I have learned to deal with "life" I want to encourage others to do the same :)

Back from my long self-care break.  Please read my bio before messaging me. Heya. I'm Rain. It's very nice meeting you! I'm a college student from Turkey. Despite my young age I have been through a lot journeying life, so I promise to offer a compassionate and judgment-free environment in our chats. I commend your courage and strength: reaching out for support is never easy!  **As listed on my profile, I only offer support chats in English. Although I am fluent in more languages, I have taken my training in English, thus I feel comfortable offering support in that language.** **I am quite busy lately and most likely won't find the time to reply to any new member requests.** Topics I am most comfortable offering support with: - Anxiety & Anxiety Attacks - Depression - Panic Attacks - Break-Ups - Self-Harm - Domestic Abuse - Relationship Stress Topics I prefer not to discuss: - LGBTQIA+ Issues - Personality Disorders - Schizophrenia - Grief - Politics or religion.  **Please note; I prefer not to discuss these topics since they are triggering for me so I am not equipped to offer support with them.** Graduate of Quality Listening, Leadership Development, and Internship with honors.  Listener Twins: @Ralien!

Hello Lovelies, My Name is Ezra and its so nice to meet you. Welcome to my chat, this is a safe and nonjudgmental place to share whatever is on your mind. I am so proud of you for taking the step to reach out and be here. That can be really hard some days. No matter what I am here for you. I know it may feel very lonely and that nobody understand, but we can get through this together. Reminder that: Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤ In case you have forgotten today:  You are beautiful, You are seen, You are loved, You are worthy, You are amazing, You are enough, You are irreplaceable, You are important, You are strong, You are capable, You are needed, You are wanted, You are enough

Hello! I had surgery on 4/9/2024. Recovery has taken me longer than I had hoped. I will be taking additional time to rest and recover because my health is my priority right now. I currently cannot respond to messages right away. I hope to be back soon! Thank you for your understanding!♥️ 💖Hi there💖 I am so glad you’re here, and that you feel able to share things that may be difficult for you to open up about. I’m here to listen and be a shoulder to lean on when you need it the most. Sometimes just being there for someone is enough. This is a no-judgement zone. I have had a lot of direct-lived experiences with mental and physical health issues, and completely understand what it is like to be misunderstood or unheard and having no one to turn to. Feeling alone and isolated in your own body is extremely hard. However, I’ve discovered over time that this actually tends to be when you need the support the most. Please let me be that person for you during these difficult moments.❤️ I want you to be able to feel comfortable talking with me, but if you feel like I am not understanding you correctly and you would prefer to talk to someone else, I completely understand and would not take this personally. Please just let me know as I will be able to recommend someone for you and your specific needs. I have some personal triggers relating to medical topics, but I will be sure to let you know during the chat if this is the case at any point. I appreciate your understanding with this. I am studying at university right now and it can get pretty hectic at times. Whilst I am fast to respond when I am online, this will not be the case for the rest of the day. Please be patient with me, I will respond as soon as I am able to😊 My roles here: ♥️ Verified Listener ♥️ Approved Adult-Teen Listener ♥️ Listener Verifier Team ♥️ Peer Supporter ♥️ Chat Support (Adult/Teen) ♥️ Listener Chatroom Mentor (Adults/Teens) ♥️ Listener Discussions Team ♥️ Doorkeeper (ask me to open/close a room!) ♥️ Quality Mentor ♥️ Listener Coaching Team ♥️ Safety Patrol Team ♥️ Quality Mentoring - Project Agent ♥️ Anonymous Evaluations Team ♥️ Needs Reply Team Co-Leader I have successfully completed: * Internship Programme - with Honours * Leadership Development Programme - with Honours * Time Management Course * Community Building Course My listener twin buddy is: @Kristynsmama My Listener Twin Brain is: @Fuechsin - it feels like we share the same brain cells! 😊🩷 Credit to: AnnaSilverberg for my profile pic design😁

I really enjoy listening to individual's. Sometimes all a person needs is someone to listen, and not provide advice, just listen. Sometimes my phone doesn't notify me of when I get a new message. Please be aware of that.

Its what matters at the end of the day.  If I am online you can chat with me or if not you can message me and I'll get back to you ASAP.   NOTE: I DO NOT welcome or entertain ANYTHING that is Sexually related topic/s; [NO Flirting], Medical/ly related talks/topic/s: chronic pains, illness, disability; Marital Problems, Abortion, and Suicide.       I've got a simple rule:               YOU RESPECT ME, I RESPECT YOU           DISRESPECT ME, i hope it doesn't come to this           see ya!!!     

Hello everyone! My name is Xaverie. My pronouns are she/her. It's nice to meet you!  I have decided to join this community to offer emotional support to struggling individuals and make a difference in people's lives. I am deeply passionate about psychology and learning about nonverbal language. My hobbies include writing; reading; singing; watching horror/mystery TV series; and sometimes sketching. My favorite color is wine red (as you can probably tell), and I absolutely love savory food! 🌹✨ So far, I am a Verified Listener! I am working hard to acquire different skills and interact with as many community members as possible. If you are a Member who is interested in texting me for support, then please read the following!:  ♫ I am comfortable with all topics except Domestic Violence, Sexual Health, and Sexual Abuse. Please refer to other listeners if you are encountering any problem related to these topics. We are here for you! 🥰💖 ♫ My texting style is very formal, and I am interested in supporting others by typing them paragraphs. However, I ask every Member at the beginning of our conversation if text walls trigger them. Kindly answer the question truthfully so that I can adjust my texts and make you feel convenient while we are progressing through the conversation. I highly appreciate your collaboration. 💞 ♫ For any Member who is reading this, all my texts will show empathy, validation, and support. You are welcome to discuss any matters with me, so long as you avoid the topics that I don't feel comfortable discussing! Additionally, I sometimes send videos or websites related to your problem so that you can have a wider perspective of it and think of solutions. 😊 ♫ I hope that you don't send me short responses like "ok", "yeah", "sure", "idk", etc. If I ask you any thought-provoking answer and you don't have a definite answer to it, please inform me so that I can ask simpler questions. However, please do not be too brief because I am here to understand your problems and help you. I would appreciate even the slightest elaboration! 😁🌷 A message to anyone reading this:  Life isn't meant to be a linear path. Sometimes, you have to reach the peak of a mountain of success only to find yourself drowning in mistakes once more. That is completely alright, and it does not define your intelligence or worth. You are completely valid, in this community and everywhere you go. You are worthy of support, attention, and a listening ear. You are a very strong individual, and there is nothing that can stop you from proving your power to everyone. I am immensely proud of you because I know that you are trying your best. Keep your head up, and don't lower it for temporary problems! I believe in you. 💗💗 “He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood. He who faces no calamity will need no courage. Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.”  Harry Emerson
