OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2055th 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:

It's been several months since I added this cleansing foam from Korean brand Tony Moly to my skincare routine, so I feel I can now give my opinion on this product.

In terms of its characteristics, one thing that caught my attention is its thick consistency, which reminds me of clay masks and is very different from other products I've tried so far.

This time, and for a change, I wanted to add a little harmony. I used two additional voices to the main one and incorporated them subtly and little by little until I reached the second chorus.

I really enjoyed doing it, as it's one of my greatest joys when singing; it's my daily routine. Doing it on my own usually takes a little longer than required, but it allows me to create and assemble from scratch, not just copy the original.

Hello, dear community of Hive Open Mic! Once again I am happy to join this beautiful space of music and reflection that every week invites us to share from the soul.

When I saw that this week's theme was Holy Spirit, I didn't have to think long to decide which song I wanted to participate with. Today I bring you my version of "Ven, Espíritu Ven" by Marcos Barrientos, a song that saw the light of day in 2000, but that is still as current and full of meaning as the first day I heard it.

Over the years, this song has become a kind of sung prayer for many of us. Personally, every time I play it or listen to it, I feel it connects me in a very intimate way with that longing for spiritual renewal, for rest in the presence of the Holy Spirit. I hope you enjoy my version.

Perhaps with a camper van and abundant resources, I'd take a long trip without taking too many risks. In the meantime, I escape through reading, or through sight and hearing, to all corners of the planet, to other times, past or possible futures.

Hello, happy afternoon to all. Today has been for me, an endless beginning of the week, since dawn I had not been able to take a break until now. I had so many things to do, especially the dessert project that was paused for a few days because I got sick. I am just coming out of a virus that some people call “the bone breaker”, because it really left me very broken, because it attacked me very hard and I still feel a little weak.

That made me think about how many autumns I have had in my life... how many moments in which I have had to strip myself of everything that made me feel comfortable and safe to move forward with a certain fragility in the face of situations that I thought I was not prepared to go through, much less to overcome. However, in that apparent state of fragility, I was able to see my strength.

I have been a fan of this band for over twenty years. I started listening to them when their first vocalist, Amaia Montero, was still with the band, and I knew all their lyrics by heart, repeating them over and over again. I loved the content of their lyrics, which were so emotional and romantic, and which said so much, talking about feelings, experiences and life circumstances. Not only about romantic love or boyfriends and girlfriends, but also about family, loved ones, some of whom have passed away, and friendships. Always songs from the heart.

On June 7th, I celebrated my 4th anniversary since I started in this Hive universe, and it's undoubtedly been a journey of learning and experiences. I remember the first time I heard about this platform, I didn't understand the entire dynamics, and I was somewhat skeptical about whether one could really monetize their own content. But it took me a few months to get the courage to venture into this platform. I remember that my wife was the first to start, and then the following month I would publish my first post on this medium.

A warm greeting to the #Music community. I am pleased to share my trumpet performance of "I Have A Dream", a pop ballad by the group ABBA, composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus in the late 1970s. This song is very beautiful; it is part of the album Voluez Vous, which I had the opportunity to listen to many times when I was a child. At home, we had a couple of cassettes of the Swedish group, and their songs remained in my memories. I am grateful to my parents for that musical legacy. When I read the title, it reminds me of Martin Luther King Jr.'s legendary speech, which has inspired many songs such as John Lennon's "Imagine." The lyrics have a powerful message of faith, hope, and personal dreams. This piece is in C major; in my case, the performer is in Bb major. The melody has a question-and-answer pattern, a relaxed rhythm, and a 4/4 time signature.

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.
