OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1998th 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:

Most of us, Gardening is already part of ourlives and this is also a good kind of activities in order for us to become more productive in everyday living. I have a simple garden here in our place, and this is one of my Hobbies in Life. Aside of that, by Gardening we can do some great techniques on how we can take care of our vegetables very well and what are the ways of doing in our Garden. First, allow me to share this simple Garden plots I've created last day. I collected lots of empty plastic bottles of Softdrinks and I recycled it by placing each one of it and formed into a rectangular shape to make it a Garden plot. It helps the soil of not flashing away by water everytime when there is a heavy rain happens and aside of that, I can make recycling. The next thing I did is to filled it up with organic Soil. Loam soil is the best soil to plant vegetables because it is very fertile.

What I observed with this paper is that whenever I erase it and draw again. Sometimes, I redo my sketching if I am not satisfied with it. The coating of the paper changed, and it is not what I expected it to be, but I still survived, LOL.

The texture of the paper is too thick for my liking. Oh, by the way, the paper is 300 gsm, cold press, and no cotton mix.

It is so often that when I want to do a photo hunt, the result that I come back with is not as great as I initially thought. There are several factors that play in the process, sometimes wrong gear, sometimes wrong timing, or wrong places, or maybe both og them. And this time I would say that, when I took the photos here, I brought the wrong gear, and also it was the wrong time and circumstances.

Very good evening hive and Musical Monday family. I hope you have a great start of the week, greetings and thanks to my friend @eugelys for this musical space on Mondays. this time I want to share with you a very special song for me, for those who already know me here, you know that I really love writing songs, I am a singer-songwriter, it is what I am and what represents me best. I love to create, to build stories, to create something out of nothing, songs can have their origin in something very innocent, but this song I want to show you is different, it is a song born out of grief and sorrow. About 10 years ago my mother passed away, it was a devastating blow for the family, it is never easy to cope with these losses, although we know that at birth in this world every living being is guaranteed its biological end. After that loss, a puppy came into our lives, a Golden Retriever given to us by an uncle. He quickly filled our home with laughter and love, he became part of our family, he loved us and we loved him very much. Sadly, he got sick and also died, he was buried in the yard of my father's house. This puppy had helped us to heal the loss of mom, but then he also had to leave. The next day, I wrote this song for him. I also have a song written for my mother, however, these are topics that I find it hard to show, it's a feeling like nudity, they are very intimate songs, I will surely soon share the song I wrote to my mother, for now I leave you with CANELO, which I also had a hard time showing it. but I dared to record it in the studio of my friend @yoperogritando and here I share it with you, I hope you like it.

I have been looking for days at this small plant that has grown on a platform where my Split machine used to be. I haven't had a Split for a long time. One day I heard an explosion out there, nobody knew what the problem was and I sold it to a technician for parts. Maybe he did know... but that's not the subject of this blog... Well, I don't know, if you have time or curiosity, wait for the end.

Well, this time I am going to interpret the song "A gritos de esperanza" by the Spanish singer-songwriter Alex Ubago, it is really a great pleasure to sing this beautiful song because its lyrics are so simple but powerful, and its melody is pure peace.

Human beings by nature are dreamers, and that is a characteristic that I believe we should never lose, since constantly setting goals represents a great motivation to walk the paths of life, which are often thorny and sometimes not so much. We must remain optimistic and try to evolve both personally and professionally, in order to feel fulfilled.

If there’s one thing adulthood has taught me, it’s that the world won’t slow down for anyone. There's always one more email to reply to, one more thing to check off the to-do list. But yesterday, looking at the sunset and the waves crashing on top one another in the large body of water reminded me of one thing, life isn’t always cruel after-all.

It is said that true love heals and does no harm, and I sincerely believe it is so, that's why I decided to write this song accompanied by guitar to reggae rhythm.

I hope you enjoy this song and can find that love that helps you heal.
