OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2061st 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:

Phew. What a week. By week, I mean the seven day period that proceeded me picking up this pen to write this thing on this piece of paper.

As with a lot of things, it started with a Monday. It was the public holiday. We had friends around. I cooked enough food to kill a horse. Salmon, angel hair pasta, and peas in a creamy, garlic filled cheese sauce. Tasty.

Let's put the sugar in our bowl. I used two types, half muscovado sugar and the other half white, but it is optional. Then we add the oil, we will mix with a whisk or mixer, until both ingredients are well integrated. Then we add our egg. If you have a mixer, you can add it at the same time the machine is mixing.

Today wasn’t just another day, it marked the end of my high school journey and a beginning of a new chapter, my college journey. My six years in high school weren’t easy, but they were definitely worth it!

My last year in high school truly humbled me. I was consistently being an academic awardee every grading period. But during the first quarter of this school year, I didn’t have any award. Honestly, I was confused and disappointed. I had been confident I would make it.

But that moment didn’t define my journey. Instead, I used it as motivation to keep going.

Graduation is happening next week, and I can already feel the weight of the word "unemployed" under my name. Each day that passes makes me more anxious about what is coming next.

That’s why I finally decided to fix my resume. I created two versions: one for my writing and SEO career, and another for my profession as a civil engineer.

I’ve been actively using different platforms to apply for jobs, but I haven’t had much luck yet. Here’s a breakdown of where I’ve been applying:

So, here I am, Sunday morning, after having gotten a lot of stuff done, thinking about how my ideal weekend would look like. And what I thought to be an easy task, quickly turned into a rabbit hole. It’s fathers’ day in Ecuador (and the world it seems, except for Germany), and here I am, tired, drinking coffee, running through the memories of all the weekends this year and which one I enjoyed most, but somehow not connecting to any of them. There are great memories, don’t get me wrong, in family, friends, just Lily & I – but great for that moment, not for now. And slowly, it’s dawning to me that what I really would enjoy most is:

The truth is that I suffer from colon and I need to improve my eating habits 😃, I want to start with juices and gradually eliminate completely the drinks with excess sugar that I am used to drink.

I also help with this the healthy eating of my children, at least my youngest son loves juices but my eldest daughter does not, so I have to make a lot of effort to make them both like it.

As you know, my whole week was busy and a bit stressful. We went to Cebu City because we had to follow up on important paperwork. During the trip, I was already stressed because the bus was not air-conditioned and dusty. I got dizzy from the traffic but later on I was stressed out because we got the documents. And since the whole week was busy and a bit stressful, I decided to release the stress through an outing with the whole family. So we went to the beach. When we woke up in the morning, we immediately prepared the things we would need to bring to the beach.

It is a song that speaks of love, a request to be dreamed of amidst the idyllic condition of romance if only for a brief moment. It speaks of the need to belong, to commit and above all to be that constant and necessary refuge for the other person. As for the vocal performance, it implies modulations and different approaches given the characteristics of jazz and blues, as well as a demanding emotional delivery and deep connection on the part of whoever interprets it. This is how I understand it and try to make it my own.

Greetings friends of the SWC I hope you are feeling well! Today I show you some pictures that I took with my brother @miguelgabriel-sw, some do not know, but my friend Miguel exactly a month ago went on vacation to Colombia to visit his sister since he had time without going to see her there, but well, last Thursday my brother finally arrived in Venezuela and the truth is that if we needed for training, in this case we did a little short routine because we were a little late to the park and we wanted to enjoy his arrival. We did a basic routine which was based on pull-ups, dips, push-ups, push-ups, push-ups in pike, mostly the routine we wanted to do it to strengthen the push but the series and repetitions were few to not punish us too much, I also trained for a while with my beautiful girlfriend who always accompanies me in my workouts. The truth is that it was a good reunion with my brother Miguel and soon I will continue sharing more workouts with him, I hope you liked today's post and see you tomorrow 💪🏽🙏🏽.

It's another awesome time to express our heart through music.. I have always loved many gospel songs but there are two songs that often bless my heart and edify my Spirit, Soul and Body. I did a MASHUP (LORD I GIVE YOU MY HEART AND THIS IS THE AIR I BREATHE) by Hillsong and Elevation worship team respectively. I'm beyond doubt your burdens will be lifted off you as you listen, declare your love and meditate on these words indeed.

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.
