OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1532th 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:

The subject of having children in this day and age is often a heated debate, and I must admit I am split in two halves when it comes to my feelings on the matter. Logically, I have already had my own biological child. I know how much they cost mentally, financially and on so many other levels that cannot be measured. It is the most rewarding but also the hardest job on the planet - to be a parent. Birth was awful, and without medical aid, there is no way I'd risk giving birth at a government facility. I mean, they've looked after my knee as best they can, but the business of having babies is another story. Matthew was a high-risk birth that ended in an emergency cesarean that almost cost us both our lives. I'm grateful for the private healthcare I had at the time. I can't imagine what that would have been like in a government institution, in a country where obstetric violence is rife and on the rise.

Well, what do you think? Should I do more guitar lessons? Maybe have them as a course or some kind of intro to guitar solo week by week? I have been wanting to do that for a while. I am just working so much right now I find it hard to fit in some playing, and to feel energised when I do play. Thanks for watching everyone :)

This idea was born about two months ago when the user and friend @ronymaffi played it in a publication for Hive. In fact at the time I proposed him to do an instrumental version between the two of us but as the days went by I gave up the idea because I thought it was better to do it with another song, and well, I still have that pending friend.

Today I got up as usual, to start my day with my daily routine that begins as everyone else does: to the bathroom, daily grooming and to get ready to take my child to his school. To go to his school, we have to walk through several places that lead me to contemplation and therefore to reflection, depending on what I have in mind, some concern, something I have to plan, it is my best time to be with my thoughts clearer, before the stress of the day begins and this landscape between natural and urban takes me to calm and pushes me to relax.

Greetings again, welcome to my post once again, I'm Nitsu and I hope you are enjoying your week dear friends of Hive geek. For those who have been more attentive to my posts about technology will remember that I was upgrading my PC and one of the last purchases I made was a second monitor to increase my productivity when working and why not admit it? Also enjoy some video or series in the background while doing these tasks, but after a few weeks I noticed the huge need to get a pneumatic arm to support my screen, this way I could remove the plastic support that comes with the screen to make more room in the scarce space I have on my desk.

The weekend or Saturday as such I started as usual, I went to look for merchandise for my small business, in that you spend a lot of time and I ended up having lunch outside and arriving home quite late, I felt bored and wanted to get out of the stress generated by so many responsibilities and work, I said I want to go out tonight, for a moment I thought about calling some friends and so we could meet somewhere, but then I thought about it and said, my parents have shared sad moments and when things have not gone well for me, immediately the plans changed, I contacted my siblings and then my parents, my parents immediately said yes and later my siblings confirmed and we left 7 pm as the meeting time and at my parents' house, to find a place to distract us from there.

At first glance it only looks like a cute decorative flower, but if you look closer and take it, you will notice that it is actually a camouflaged pencil in the shape of a flower, to have it on the desk is ideal, it serves dual function, decorate and use to write down what you want, The colors you use for your flower are completely optional, combine as many colors as you want, an idea that will give more life to the craft is to make the decoration a face with a kawaii expression, it will make your pencil a tenderness, and you only need foami, glue and scissors, let's start the step by step.

This week I decided to cleanse my body, lower my fat levels and improve my body's insulin sensitivity, it's like purifying myself from the inside hehe. So I decided to make a green juice, this smoothie contains few calories, improves digestion because it contains high fiber, and they also knew that the chlorophyll in green fruits and vegetables helps detoxify, and oxygenates the blood, friends.

Since I planned to unwind and get rid of that unfamiliar feeling of restlessness and laziness, I focused on the trees, flowers, and the cool morning breeze. I cleared my mind as much as I could to get rid of any thoughts that might distract me. I thought about the beautiful sky, the trees, and the calmness of the earth, and appreciated them all. After all, what are humans on earth without the presence of these things? They add colors to our world and give peace to whoever craves it.

The first thing we will do to start will be to place the heart shape on the piece of cardboard, mark it and with the cutter press down to cut evenly without cutting it badly, it should be cut on a hard surface.

In the same way we will make two heart shapes in cardboard, I like to work in cardboard because you can transform it into the texture and shape you want and the ideas are very decorative.

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.
