OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2218th 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:

Yesterday I was craving something thick, filling, and naturally sweet to drink. I remembered I had some frozen bananas, so I used those and a few other ingredients to make a delicious drink. I didn’t take any photos or anything, but today I wanted to make it again, and this time I did document the process.

This songs was carefully choosen for the week competition titled Lamb. Because God has honored all my sacrifices and turned my sorrow into joy. It remins me that truly worthy is the lamb, clothed in glory and honor.

[Don’t just seek to 'shine' on the outside; make sure your roots are strong and your soil is healthy. Because when you truly take care of yourself, from the inside out, you don't just survive the storms, but you flourish with a strength that nothing and no one can take away from you. You are your most important project; treat yourself with the patience and the love you deserve.]

I’ve always thought that in life there are people who are simply passing through at a particular moment, whilst others arrive, so to speak, to stay. You can spend years trying to get to know and understand someone, yet in just a couple of days you manage to connect with someone as if you’d known them all your life. Because it’s not just about what those people offer you with a genuine and sincere interest, but also how, in return, they manage to awaken in you that something so special and unique that even in the darkest moments they fill you with light and joy.

The young man playing next to me is named Diego Belisario, and in my opinion, he is one of the best cuatro players in the world. He is 18 years old, and his musical level is out of this world. I have great affection and admiration for him because of his dedication to music and everything he does; as some say, he is in the "tunnel," completely focused on musical excellence.

This reliquary has been part of my family’s collection for years. The photographs inside have been changed over time, and right now it was empty. I saw a beautiful piece that needed restoration, so I didn’t hesitate to get to work.

Hello, Foodie friends... Have a happy and blessed evening, everyone 🌿 I hope you’re all doing wonderfully. We’re back with a Foodie recipe, and this time it’s gluten-free—easy, quick, and delicious.

Today I left work with my head full of meetings, pending tasks, unanswered messages, and that endless list of things I should be doing. I got home and, without thinking too much, I sat down on the porch, without my phone, without music, without any purpose. Just me and the evening air.

At first, my mind kept spinning like a blender: did I send that message? What will I have for dinner? I have to get up early tomorrow... But little by little, without forcing it, something began to change, and my eyes drifted to the park across the street, where some children were chasing after a ball.

A few years ago, those calls were longer. A lot longer. I needed them to be. I was in a bad place. Mentally. Emotionally. Fighting demons I didn't want to admit I had. The kind that don't show up on an X-ray but will destroy your life just the same.

I hadn't initially planned to write this, but in the end I said to myself, wow, the celebration or tribute to mothers on this day in May is something I shouldn't overlook. So yesterday I got up the courage to string together a few ideas, which I'm sharing with you here.

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.
