OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 818th 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:

Hello my dear #Hivegarden community greetings from this corner of my garden, hoping everyone is doing very well too 🌱.

In this opportunity, I come to share with you the joy of changing the substrate to my little plants so they can continue to give me company and their natural beauty in my garden.

At the beginning of July I was at 73kg, I got scared when I saw the scale and then I started exercising and got it down. Then came August and between the horrible heat and laziness, I stopped exercising so I only managed to stay at 68-69, I didn't go up or down.

Then I had a two-week vacation and went to Italy. You know... Pasta, pizza, and ice cream for days, at the end I came back home with 1kg more (and it's strange that it wasn't much more), but this week I've lost it again just by cooking my own things at home.

Good day to my friends on Hive and especially to the Fixologists of the DIY Hub! My name is Zak Ludick and I am writing to you from Cape Town, South Africa.

These days it is very easy and simple for people to throw away broken items, counting the cost of the item against the cost of time and convenience.
But this is also a costly attitude that is wasteful of the resources of the planet and economy and thus bad for the environment. Instead of counting the cost in money, counting the cost in something greater than ourselves is more important!

I am honoring my personal values through seeing a reflection of my inner self, so I could eventually foster conviction towards continuous growth and improvement; humility towards existence; integrity towards building a sense of worth; loyalty towards building harmonious relationships; and determination towards making a difference in the society.

It is a pleasure to be here in this community, to share with you a practical and economical way to cover our children's notebooks, now that they are starting the 2022-2023 school year in Venezuela.

I have always liked to make a difference when it comes to lining notebooks. I am bored to death with the contact covers sold in bookstores, because in my country there is little variety.

Mental Health - I think mine is ok, but can any of us be sure?

What have you had to cope with in your lifetime?
I have developed coping mechanisms, mostly, this involves accepting what I believe I am responsible for and coming to terms with it. Whilst, determining what I could not control and learning to accept it.

Yesterday, my friend sent me a picture of an apple pie she baked inviting me to their table to try it. She was joking because she lives in Finland, quite far from my place in Estonia. For me, the way to try it was to ask my friend for the recipe and bake myself, and that was exactly what I did.

My girlfriend had warned me about this great meeting a few weeks ago, we decided to attend together to live this experience. I admit that at first I felt anxious, I hesitated to go since I did not know what to expect, but being accompanied by my girlfriend @/youyowi I felt more confident, plus it would be a great opportunity to meet the rest of creators living in my country. With my girlfriend we arrived early for the meeting so before going in we went to have lunch together near the place, when we were more about the schedule we went up and we were given a warm welcome.

I have long held to the concept of measuring my life in depth rather than length - A long, but ignominious, life seems decidedly unappealing and, due to happenings along the way in my life, various challenges and opportunities, events both beautiful and catastrophic, I quickly understood my desire to bring depth to my life. It's a desire that I nurtured day to day both in my mind with thoughts and attitudes and physically through my actions. The result has been a life with few boundaries and limitations in respect of fulfilment, enjoyment and contentment.

Hello helloaa my beautiful hivers! It is always a great pleasure to greet you and share with you what makes me so happy. In previous posts I have commented that I have been a little away from the platform because I am really busy in my life, I have not stopped doing things and I have barely had time to rest. These last few weeks have been really crazy with classes and evaluations since I will be graduating from college very soon Yeeeyy! Since I have been so stressed out, very tired, almost without energy and with a great heaviness in my body, my partner and I decided to take a weekend for us, to relax and do something together since we had not been able to be together either as the time of both of us is measured. 🏖️

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.
