OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1371st 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:

I had always wanted to get a tattoo, since I was 15 years old but logically I couldn't, because well, being a minor my parents didn't give me permission, so I forgot about it and I concentrated on my studies and dance, but there was always a little bee reviving my desire to get a tattoo, because yes, I am very intense with the things I want haha.

But three years ago I went through a difficult moment in my life, I lost a very important person for me, and well, at that moment I made the decision. I scheduled a date to get the tattoo and, accompanied by a friend, I went to the appointment. I got my foster mom's name tattooed on the side of my arm, I didn't want it too big because it was the first one and I was afraid of how it would look. But I was very happy with the result. It was not painful at all and it was very fast.

When the weekend comes, I always feel happy. Why? This is when I can relax from my teaching task and have time to do some home chores like washing clothes, gardening, and general cleaning. On the other hand, if I had some reports to comply with or some unfinished tasks during workdays, I also went to school. Furthermore, when our BCBP community has scheduled activities, I will also attend and divert my stressful mind from the work scenario.

Today's post is about the symbols that appear on the labels of the products, well I will try to explain the ones that for me are the most outstanding based on my experience with the brands I use.

Hello everyone from a beautiful Wednesday! I feel like Wednesdaywalking is a community for me. I am a person who loves to travel and since hiking is one of the best activities to do in Norway, I am happy to include you in my walks. It has become a lot of fun for me to tell you about the things I see around, to capture beautiful images. Today we wanted to go for a walk after we had dinner as the sun was about to set because the weather was nice. There is a settlement on the mountain slopes a little bit away from our house, we always wanted to see this place, we were curious to see how the houses look like and how is the view there, so we decided to go for a walk here today.

The day started with me sorting out myself which meant, clearing my schedule so I could leave the house and enjoy myself without worries. This was a planned date and I was determined to make the most out of it.

Started with dealing with all of whatever was on my desk from yesterday. I haven't been that excited in a while and surely, the backache I incurred from actively doing my rounds were worth it.

Greetings, hivers. I have had inconvenience to advance or do the daily challenges, due to migraine problems, I don't know if it has happened to you or you know the symptoms, but somehow sometimes it prevents me from drawing and practically any activity. I may not meet the day's challenge on the agreed date but certainly no challenge will be left undone before the end of the month.

Where we really should not confuse quality of life with level of consumption. Buying more doesn't make you happier, but living in a bigger house will improve your quality of life. And now I understand what my grandmother used to say, the greatest happiness is not needing anything. But how difficult it is! We are all consumers and we all like to buy, appreciate and feel that we own things. Maybe it gives us some pleasure at that moment, but it is temporary and is forgotten later, leaving us with an inexplicable feeling of emptiness. I remember when I was a child I wanted a Blackberry Pearl cell phone. At that time it was a fashionable phone that everyone brought with them. I remember my mother saying, "I don't need this phone. The phone you have now is good enough, no matter what brand, as long as it has the basic functions." Thank you for making it clear to me today that I don't need better cell phone equipment to be "happier" or feel amazing. I realized that I really didn't need that. My mother didn't know she was teaching me a life lesson.

A few days ago I presented what was one of the best things I found in some boxes stored at home, I'm talking about my mini laptop canaima which I could install an operating system and use, being literally a relic in all these things saved, but as I searched more and reviewed that pile of boxes, I found what for me I had lost many years ago, I thought I had even stolen it or it vanished over time, even I was very upset at the time for having lost a gift from a relative, but luckily I managed to recover this beautiful device.

The person she was griping about is quite a high profile personality and has made a few waves in the past that bolstered her position to getting where she is today. She is now the head of a department which has annual KPIs like most large corporates do. She, as the head of the department also has her own KPIs that need to be completed, some of which are in her own capacity and cannot be delegated to people down the chain of command.

Talking about emotional balance leads me in my case to remove my emotions with my past and present experiences in retrospect is to see everything I've had to deal with until today, ie set aside the bad and difficult moments and change it to those moments of peace and joy. Until these last days I literally do magic to keep them balanced to make my life lighter and calmer.

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.
