OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 133rd 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:

My girlfriend is as Italian as Pavarotti riding on a Vespa with a double scoop gelato ice cream in each hand. Unfortunately for me, not only is she Italian but she also Roman, and anyone who’s ever met anyone from Rome will know they are as arrogant as they are patriotic. This makes the prospect of losing the match a fate worse than that of a mafia henchmen.

The moon says that when you're gone

my dreams are clouded
just like my body in bed
gets cold and foggy.

Says the daylight,
that I miss you madly
when for a few hours you're gone
but every second I'll miss you.

Of course, every day is always beautiful just by knowing you woke up and another day to spend in life. There's no need for a specific reason because we are thankful for it. Even so, I must say that Sunday is different. I don't know how this day became so different that I treated it special. Perhaps, the crowded people I can see in the street and some activities will be planned. You know it's Sunday, a family day and a rest day for those who are working.

... my long hours near the sea are usually spent in observing the surroundings, mostly plants and animals, small details and amazing natural designs ...

Reaching my home, I decided that I wanted to go out for ice cream. There is this awesome ice cream parlor which is a historical landmark. They were advertising free sundaes today. This day 100 years ago, the President of the United States had visited the place. They were making a big deal out of it to advertise the shop.

So some of you may know that we've been having a really hard time finding a house. In short: we both have new jobs in a different area starting august, but the housing market is super difficult and homelessness was looming. So on this lovely day of my birthday I also received the best present I have ever had: we got a call from a renter that I saw a house with last week that he chose us! we have a house!

I had another lovely Saturday at my friend Ernest's house. Once a month, a group of us, friends from 1986 will gather at Ernest's place to catch up. If there is a birthday boy/girl on this month, we will celebrate them. Otherwise, it is a day to catch up with what has been going on in our lives. Since most of them are still working, they have plenty of anecdotes to tell. Apart from religion and politics, I think we talked about almost everything else. From reminiscing about our younger days, to talking about children, about keeping healthy, old age problems, complains about work...

This is not your typical article to read probably, but I figured maybe someone else has struggled with the same issue and has the perfect tip to solve this, so let's write about it. I've had many great tips here from likeminded people and often coming from a totally unexpected angle I hadn't explored yet.

If you missed the last couple of posts, we're currently on a new journey through Japan with my family and Sean, starting from Tokyo! Since we've been here before but it's my relatives' first time we had to bring them to all the popular spots we visited previously already, but it's all good.

Dear friends of #hive we are back with our Chakra series, getting to know our energetic channels. As you already know I have provided basic and understandable information for all those who wish to know from scratch what are the chakras? We continue growing that spark and that vital energy through this central channel called Sushumha, in order to explore every corner of our being. Let's remember that this information must be integrated with our biological body, and the complexity of the mind. Shall we start?

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.
