OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 826th 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:

Today was a long walk through the damp, warm autumn windy city. Quite a few stops at different places in order to find what I could, in part, find on the internet. But I don't appreciate this mode of consumption at all, even if at times it has become quite complicated to do otherwise.

"The Professor"... That young man you see in the photo riding a bicycle... He is a young teacher from a state school... It's a strange thing, but teachers are perhaps the lowest paid professionals in our country and can often be seen in a precarious condition... Still, many of them love what they do and continue to do it to the best of their ability.

This was the first time that I found this type of mushrooms. I had no idea they grow in Poland and especially in the nearby woods. I have never seen them there, but then again. I probably didn't pay much attention as I was focused on the more edible ones that I know.

Well that's an easy topic for me! The first thing that comes to my mind is Machu Picchu! And the picture I want to show you is the view of the city from the mountain top Huayna Picchu! That is the iconic mountain top you see in the backdrop of every Machu Picchu picture!

I grew up in a setting where busy people are the successful ones. Many of my neighbors lounge around doing nothing most of the day on almost all days of the week, while only few are busy. My busy neighbors go to work, come home at five, and then do something else on the weekend. The former are poorer in economic status and the latter is average and middle average. From my observation, it is obvious as daylight that my busy neighbors are successful in their professional life and they acquire material things for convenient and comfortable living. So my young mind ended up asking a question, "If I learn how to be busy, will I be successful too in the future?"

Shoemaking is not an easy profession to succeed in. It is a competitive and challenging industry, with high barriers to entry. There are many steps involved in becoming a shoemaker and you need to have a lot of skills, time, and money to invest if you want to become one. If you are thinking about becoming a shoemaker, the first question to ask yourself is why? Why do you want to be a shoemaker? Do you enjoy making footwear and feel like it could be your life’s work? Can you do this as your main business in life? These are all critical questions that need to be answered before moving forward with this career path.

For as long as I can remember I remember my mother telling me to go to bed early, especially when I had to go to school, high school or university on weekdays; the craziest thing of all is that once I went to sleep the next day I didn't want to wake up. I loved sleeping, it was my favorite hobby, I really enjoyed it and of course it had benefits for my energy during the day.

Now comes the dilemma How do I prepare it?, well it will be my style. The wonderful thing about cooking is that you can make your own version, with whatever you have at home and enjoy it to the fullest.

Connection embodies everything for me, the quality of life I live, the relationship that I have with myself, with others and with nature. Letting go, is such an important part of being able to create connections and a minimalist lifestyle, begins when we learn to let go.

Hi fellow hivers. I hope you’re having a great weekend. A few weeks ago, I sent my mom the above two photos of morning glory. They greeted me and added some warmth to my day. As the season gets cooler and cold, I’ll miss them but I know they’ll be faithful and bloom again when the time is right.

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.
