OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 487th 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:

Greetings dear readers today I give life and love to my blog through this psychedelic art, I invite you to read and gradually learn the origin and step by step of this composition whose final art is at the end of the post and that came after an awakening of emotions after a pleasant conversation.

After a great loss, Mariana's life took an unexpected turn that led her to pursue her dreams and enjoy life to the fullest. At the end of the day, life is a gift that we must honor every day!

About twelve years ago I was very enthusiastic about playing tennis. I had become my youngest daughter's coach. At that time almost every night I played an average of two to three hours and even though I was already fifty-five years old I was feeling pretty good. I loved the sport and really enjoyed the time I spent on the court.

Hello everyone, a pleasure to greet you. For many years now I have been suffering from binge eating. Which makes me eat compulsively. I know that anxiety is what generates it. At first I did not want to admit it. One thing went together with the other since I suffer from hyperthyroidism and those of us who suffer from this pathology eat a lot when we are in crisis. I had a very strong crisis in 2012 and I lost many kilos, more than fifteen kilos. The strange thing was that the more I ate the more kilos I lost. I was binge eating. I did not forgive anything. I ate uncontrollably, I don't know where I could fit so much food. People who see me eating tell me: "You eat with so much pleasure.

Everything around us is music, everything has a sound, everything has a voice. We have our own very special voice and it is the one that is within ourselves. How many times have we complained that people do not listen or do not listen to us. But do we listen to ourselves? If we remain in the deepest of silences, in that instant where we are absolutely isolated, are we able to recognize our inner voice?

The destination of the day was Blue Pearl Bay on Hayman Island. The objective of the day was to snorkel. Well, that was mine anyway. We had spent the last couple of days at Airlie Beach marina, reprovisioning and having a new navigation system installed. So, off for a week of adventures in the Whitsundays, starting with Hayman Island. We had a cracker of a south easterly to get us there. We had both the main sail and head sail up and at 8 knots made short work of the 16 nautical miles. Hayman Island is the most northerly island in the Whitsundays. It's privately owned and has a rather exclusive luxury resort on it. No day trippers welcome so these 2 grottie yachties won't be having cocktails by their pool. Funny thing though, the guests get dropped off at the same beach we're moored at - at no cost - for some snorkelling.

Whether it’s cleaning up trash on the side of the road, helping a neighbor rake leaves, turning my leftovers into soil or planting seeds in the wild…I’m investing in Mother Earth because I am indebted to her for giving me life!

Yesterday, when I arrived home I am craving for some specialty of my mother. So after few minutes of resting and fixing myself, I go to town to buy some foods at the market. I also bought 3 bundles of fern vegetables that cost ₱10 or $0.20 per bundle. And I bought some ingredients and others.

In November last year (5 months ago) i decided to have another go at growing ginger. I grew ginger and tumeric at the last house, but have not grown any here.

we are in the process of building out big vegetable gardens and IF the ginger is going to be a sucess it was going to feature heavily in our design as ginger is something we both eat a lot of and it is very expensive. Both these are key factors in what we are going to grow in our now garden.

Last week was so rough. Tasks after tasks were overwhelming. Frankly, it's draining to juggle them, the responsibilities as a subject teacher, adviser, work immersion instructor, and the other assignments on top of that, plus not to mention the heavy preparations for the limited face-to-face classes. Yes, the face-to-face classes in our school started just last week. And I honestly was not really ready for it. However, it must be dealt with favorably, as all we have to do now is to step forward from where we are for two years time, especially with our learning delivery.

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.
