OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1197th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

When I was a child there were special times when we would go on family vacations, usually visiting rural and nature filled places, since we lived in the bustling city, but we were a relatively large family and we always arrived with a lot of suitcases, plus handbags and the occasional purse as well.

Wonderful and blessed day, a pleasure to share once again with you, this time I bring you the recipe for a delicious ground beef with tomato sauce, spinach and carrots ideal to accompany pasta, ground beef is very versatile in the kitchen with it is made numerous recipes and is also easy and quick to prepare and combined with vegetables makes it more nutritious here I leave the step by step of this simple recipe.

When it comes to going for a coffee or dessert, I will always say yes. I'm a big fan of spending the afternoon with friends or family enjoying a delicious coffee, while we have a nice conversation to tell each other about things or what we commonly call "catching up with the latest news". I must say that I had a long time without coming to this incredible bakery called La Miguería, which besides being affordable, their products are of good size and of course delicious and best of all is that you find one of them in many corners of Medellin.

Opening my eyes every day and being able to enjoy a beautiful sunrise and a delicious coffee is one of the great pleasures of life for me. I have to be grateful for this miracle that is living and open my arms to welcome everything that the universe has destined for me. When I prepare my first coffee in the morning, and its intoxicating smell envelops me, my senses open up. It inspires me to move forward and fight for my dreams. I toast every morning with coffee to my achievements and experiences, but also to my downfalls and sadness.

My eldest daughter, also inherited the habit of surprising and this time, with a surprise breakfast. Simple, plain, but with all the love in the world and best of all, she bought it with her own money. And that was very important to her. My family knows that I have a sweet tooth and they always spoil me with delicacies from the bakery. But this time, they bought it from an enterprising girl on Instagram, who works really well. Obviously, I was able to check it out first hand.

Today the weather is very sunny with a beautiful view of the sky, my soul wants to leave the house to take a walk with my friends, still in the Cold City of Takengon, today our trip is heading to one of the Natural Tourism Destinations called Goa Loyang Koro.

Anyway, with today being the Summer Solstice here in the northern hemisphere, I thought I’d take you on a little trip through my garden. I mentioned in my last post that we’ve been working on beautifying our outdoor space, and making better use of it. That involved relocating our greenhouse, and digging ourselves a proper little garden plot directly in the ground, rather than using the haphazard beds strewn about by the previous residents, as well as doing a whole lot of planting.

I feel frustrated because I skipped last week's contest, the LOH Community Contest #138, since my little girl had her birthday and I spent the week on it 🎈🥳, between one thing and another I missed the contest but here I am again 🤩. Now to what I came 😅.

One of the ways our family likes to celebrate is with a lunch, specially chosen for each occasion. An activity that we enjoy to the fullest, because with great joy we toast for prosperity and health, we taste the food, we develop pleasant conversations, we update each other on what each one does in their daily life, we remember old anecdotes and the most important thing is that we see each other face to face and what a better idea! to do it on Father's Day. A treat that guarantees that both fathers and children are all ready to spend it together and willing to celebrate.

We got a wonderful day and the scorching heat of the sun cannot stop our eagerness to travel. We left home with excitement and full of determination to explore and reconnect with nature as this will be my best escape and the easiest way to forget momentarily the nagging problem that was interfering with my mind.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
