OCD's support is expanding!
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
Hello everyone! This is the 1244th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its <b><a href="https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@ocdb/ocd-communities-incubation-program-update-129">Community Incubation Program</a></b>. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
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. 
</div>

<h4>How this Works</h4>

<div class="text-justify">
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.
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
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.
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

<blockquote>It's still dark when I rise to prepare for the 'short' trip to Hocking Hills, a nature reserve in Southern Ohio.

Little do I know that my son will develop some fear of car rides mere blinks into the outing, and I will end up with my arm around him like this for the rest of the drive. I'm smashed between two car seats, yet I feel Zen. My biggest concern is the lack of phone signal to sustain me...

<blockquote>When life starts to get tough and we have goals to achieve, it is time to set goals for ourselves in order to achieve those goals. I am a laboratorian by profession and my biggest goal after 15 years of experience is to one day be able to fulfill an international mission in an English-speaking country.

In order to achieve this goal, you have to take an English exam and, therefore, know the language well. In my case, I did not know any language other than Spanish, only a little French that I was given when I attended my pre-university at the IPVCE Federico Engels here in my province.

<blockquote>My clearest memories of the sea date back to the age of eight or nine, before that time my parents had probably taken me to the beach one day, but it was at that age, when I was about to become a teenager, that my paternal grandmother moved to La Guaira and our visits to the sea became a daily occurrence.

<blockquote>In my country we like to have parties to share among several people: families, friends, children. These parties are usually simple, each family brings what they can share some food and we all get together to talk, laugh, but also to dance.

It is very common to do this, even when some months go by and it has not been done, everyone starts to miss these parties. They ask when do we get together, when do we do something, at whose house?

<blockquote>Good evening HIVE friends in this community, I don't get tired of greeting you because you are my best friends in HIVE, you give me lots of ideas and inspiration for me. And tonight I will bring a fresh recipe for you here. And it's actually my first time making this recipe because there are really a variety of good fruits that I often use for RUJAK, Rujak is a dish that can be categorized as a dessert but has a spicy taste, if you say rujak is what rujak is like a salad. Because rujak is a dish with various types of fruit, it is then poured over with a sauce made of peanuts, chili, palm sugar, and tamarind and a little soy sauce mixture. But tonight I'm going to make Rujak with Mango Mancang sauce which I think now tastes much better if the sauce has been mixed with these fruits. Compared to separating the fruit and then dipping it little by little into the spicy sauce.

<blockquote>My beautiful birthday leads me to capture a few paragraphs that highlight a brief review of learning in my 25 years of life on this blue planet. To be honest, birthday celebrations have never been relevant, from my childhood until recently I have no memories of those moments, since having a birthday only represented expenses. The beauty of it all is that nothing is static, everything is a constant change, so I joined that change and now I can feel what it is to appreciate every minute of life, the great gift that I have received and that for a long time I was not aware of it.

A special budbod has a grated coconut with sugar filling and it makes the budbod more delicious.

I don't really remember if those were exactly the words he used, but I am sure that this is what he meant, which is also an assertion I agree with.
