OCD DAILY - Issue #95

Welcome to the 95th issue of @OCD Daily!

Issue #95 highlights content from ten (10) fantastic Steemit Content Creators! The OCD team on its journey continues to search tirelessly throughout Steemit for undervalued gems as provided by relatively new users.

Today our curators, under our steadfast leader, Hive account@acidyo, have delivered ten incredible pieces of original content to share with you! These works as provided by newer Steemit users don’t have the audience which their quality content deserves. @OCD strives to provide that audience and intends to showcase Steemit users who put in tremendous effort to create flourishing content.

The nomination process

A curator will FIND a piece of work (typically from newer users), within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the Hive account@ocd team, votes tallied and the pieces with the most votes are placed into the compilation.

We encourage you to visit these blogs and to show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

If you enjoyed their work give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!

All of the content as chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is seen as universally appreciated and valued making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.

We all have a family member who´s always washing her hands and talking about microbes being everywhere but, have you actually wondered how much truth is behind that statement. Hive account@suesa found the perfect post for you to get it clear once and for all.

If life gives you lemons, do you eat it, do you make some lemonade and sell it or do you plant a tree to get more lemons and start a lemon empire? According to Hive account@alexander.alexis life is what you make out of the circumstances around you and Hive account@mobbs agrees with him. And do you know why? Because he makes a really solid point about this subject by speaking about creativity, being a genius and adapting to ehat life gives you. To get some inspiration, read this 16th part of the Meaning of Life series.

Who´s the genius?

One of the things I like the most about Steemit is that there are a lot of workshops for artist´s development and discussion, I knew about the fiction workshop but the poetry workshop is as amazing as any of those. This time Hive account@gmuxx found an amazing story part of a writing contest made by Hive account@bex-dk. In here, the author speaks about a normal subject and manages to write a story that will have 100% of your attention. Click below to read a great short story.

Sustainability is partly about re-using things to give them a proper use instead of them going to waste, that means you can make art with whatever you find around you and Hive account@nature.art knows everything about this - the username gives it away right? -, Hive account@jeanpi1908 is also a fan of this type of crafts because let´s face it, they are amazing, and this post is no exception. With the whole process included inside the post, by clicking the next link you will face complete jealousy, i know I felt it because this craft is beyond borders, is out of this world and, the best part? Is made out of flowers...
