OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1450th 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:

Undoubtedly 2023 has been a year of many emotions, transformations and experiences, some sad, others quite incredible. The year is almost over and we can't help but think about all the moments that we have gone through and that have led us to this point.

Reading this week's topics I saw a topic that I found very interesting, and it is that if we had the possibility to relive a weekend, the one we wanted, what would it be and why, if it is only one I guess we would have to remember which was the most significant and in which we were happier, no doubt that would be the chosen one.

Like most of the people, I also plan to celebrate the christmas with the family. Food is an essential part of the celebration. I already planned of what dishes I will prepare though I would leave the cooking to the hubby, lol! I trust in his skills more.

Sweets and desserts are never out of the picture. I had a couple of desserts in mind that I want to prepare myself. So bear with me as I fulfill my shopping list of different ingredients for a christmas dessert.

Enjoying delicious food with great company is one of life's greatest pleasures, especially in the comfort of one's own home. Today, I don't have much planned, but my beau and I are headed to the Bogo City Public Market - Bogo City, Northern Cebu, Philippines, to buy some fresh seafood for tonight's dinner. We chose this market because it's conveniently located near our hometown and offers an impressive variety of high-quality fish and other seafood. Follow along as I take you through our seafood shopping and preparation journey.

I don't have a bucket list, my trips, like so many other things in my life, are intuitive choices. To take care of and defend what is my life mission, I needed to make a STOP and this means that we are just passing through on this plane, simply to be happy and live in peace. I needed a shuddering hug that would allow me to feel at peace to think and decide more calmly, perhaps an external vital force that would infuse numen into my soul.

Hello friends! Greetings to everyone, especially to this community. I'm glad to be here again and to be able to share with you a little more of my adventures....On this occasion I wanted to share with you an intimate moment, it's something so beautiful, I thought you would also appreciate it as much as I do.

The weekend is one of the best days I've wanted to spend because it recharges my soul and gives me healing to my loaded week. Weekend allows me to travel to places I've wanted to go and relax for a little while.

Today December 18th is the 12th anniversary of the physical departure of my beloved and only son and I tell you friends that I am writing these lines as a catharsis, because I feel that by doing so I can unburden myself and drain a little of my pain. Friends, you know that this mother you see here had to do a lot of research to understand what death is and in doing so I discovered that death does not exist, because what we know as death is only a transition from one life to another.

Friends of the community who enjoy and benefit from the blessings of technology: two months ago, we bought a washing machine. I took some pictures, but it is only recently that I am publishing the wonderful acquisition that we needed so much. I spent some time looking for a good and economical appliance in Argentina, and there were always options that did not meet my requirements. Even so, there was perseverance in tracking down the appliance that came close to my desires. Finally, the advertisement for a home appliance sales house had the publication I was waiting for, a Samsung machine that met the expected criteria.

Whenever I go out for a walk ready with my camera in hand, the first thing I do is observe the surroundings of my home, I always find some detail to photograph and it's not that I live in the middle of the Amazon jungle, or in the center of New York City, but it's a very crowded place with people, with many buildings and a lot of vegetation, that allows to see birds, reptiles and some other stray animals.

When we get to the courts we always look for one where the sun does not harass us so much, but that day we were not so lucky because we were a little late, when we finally decided to start playing we found one but the sun attacked us from all sides and regardless we started to play, we threw the ball over and over again without stopping and then we ran after them because it was almost impossible to hit it more than five times in a row, it was exhausting but we had a lot of fun.

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.
