HiveDiscoMod Curation Highlights April 26, 2025

@pexels I was halfway through watching a documentary on my laptop about frogs and their mating habits—do not ask me why—when my phone buzzed. "Aunty! A huge opportunity just popped up! I swear, this one is a jackpot"! ...

I can recall it vividly as if it were yesterday. It was exactly 6 p.m. when I rounded off my morning devotion. I copied a motivational daily verse and uploaded it to my WhatsApp status. A few seconds later, I received lots of reactions and responses from friends, but I decided to reply to my cousin's first ...

Growing up, I had very strict parents, and that helped save me from a lot of troubles, though I felt like they were stopping me from enjoying my childhood the way that I wanted to. But sometimes when I think of how many times their strictness saved me, I come to realize that they were strict for a reason, and it had a lot of impact on my life. There are times when some actions I would have taken would have ended badly for me, but if I remember how my parents will react if they hear I was involved in such a thing, I find myself not wanting to be involved anymore, and when other kids go ahead and do that thing, it always ends up bad, and I end up being grateful I did not take any part. As kids in our neighborhood, those who attended the same school were closer and always had each other's backs, and that is how I met Princewill ...

Hello friends, I hope you are all very well, here reorganizing some things for a new beginning, days ago my husband and I moved house, to be more comfortable, because the space where we were was very small and uncomfortable, with many limitations to perform our daily activities, and we have been with the preparations for the location of things in the house, and among so many pending, the days are passing very fast. After these rewarding days, today I had the opportunity to return to my activities in the hive, I thank God for all the blessings, and for all the opportunities He gives us every day. The project I am sharing with you, is a fabric bag, very cute and easy to make, it is comfortable to go for a walk and elegant. Without further ado, I invite you to read on, to enjoy the step by step tutorial to make it ...

Greetings to the entire Holozing and Hive community! ✌️ After some days absent, I'm finally back. These last few days I've spent some time playing a videogame, the truth is I've had a good time, but still whenever I can I'm doing some practices to not lose the habit of drawing. Today I decided to do a simple illustration, because when I spend some days away from the PC I don't like to start a very complex project, so for this occasion I chose to represent the character , but unlike doing something very similar to the reference, I chose to distort everything and create a very fat version of the character, as well as a pet that is usually very gluttonous XD! ...

It says that life is not a bed of roses, and one needs to go through life struggles. It doesn't matter if a person was born into a poor family or a rich family; they need to go through it. But for the rich family kids, they struggle less compared to the poor family kids because a good financial backup reduces many difficulties in life. Little or more, everyone faces it, and everyone has some setbacks in their lives ...

Background In the early 1980’s I joined the engineering team at what was at the time British Steel, based in the coatings dept at Shotton, working 4 on 4 off 12 hour shifts and did so for a dozen years before a positive change in circumstances and I moved to a sensible 8hr day shift monday to friday seconded to the accident prevention department, where I was sponsored by the company to gain my NEBOSH Dip2 in H&S management, eventually leading to an MSc degree in OSH. Investors in People the initiative was called, guess I was in the right place at the right time, it safe guarded my future and brought me to where I am today. Oh and I got this glass tankard too, wish I had kept the lovely presentation box, shove it on Antique Road Show in a few years and will be worth thruppence, at least I might get to meet the ridiculously gorgeous Fiona Bruce. The damage to my hearing was already done ...

Sometimes coming up with an appropriate title is the most difficult part of creating a blog post. How do you encapsulate something relatively complex in maybe 10 words or so? This afternoon I found myself thinking about the whole concept of love, acknowledgement, feeling "seen," approval and various other things we experience. Most people like to engage in the blame game and when something goes wrong they look outwards for reasons to finger point ...

The first round of Bok Choi in the hydroponic floats was ready for harvesting. I decided to make a stir fry with it for dinner this week. I did not want it to get too large as I wanted it nice and tender. The stems were perfect for making the stir fry ...

I have exercise cheerful in singing and I have also did it in eating. There are a lot of days that I can't just stop, but I will be finding myself singing nonstop, that is, from gospel songs to raggae and from raggae to blues, it just comes without stress, and this, i do it with happiness. Not me alone do it, because most of the times, I do find people in this habits as well, and to what i understand about it, it just about being cheerful in our life. Truth be told, life needs much of this, because a cheerful heart is a happy soul, and will always happily cherish whatever comes it way ...

....................................... Español ....................................... Hola mis Hivers, espero que se encuentren bien, hoy quiero compartir con ustedes esta pequeña reflexión, de la relación que existe entre creer en nosotros y alcanzar nuestros sueños o metas. El día 16 de este mes fue mi cumpleaños, justamente me toco hacer guardia en el hospital, muy temprano me llamo mi mamá para felicitarme, con el corazón arrugadito hable con ella, con unas ganas inmensas de abrazarla, pero bueno vendrán otros cumpleaños y mas oportunidades de abrazarnos; Antes de despedirnos, ella me dijo: ¿Viste que si pudiste? ...

I was really nervous yesterday morning, but I managed to not eat anything and just took my medicine (because I have a chronic condition). I was hungry, so I drank water. Well, it was time to go, so I left. I have osteoarthritis in my left knee, so I was a little worried about walking from Hachiman to the endoscopy clinic near the Miyagi Museum of Art ...

Hello feathered friends! It has been a long time since I have published anything in this wonderful community, because I had not had the opportunity to dedicate myself to photographing birds and the trip I took to the Las Terrazas Nature Reserve, in the province of Artemisa in Cuba, turned out to be a wonderful excuse to return here. The "West Indies Woodpecker" (Melanerpes superciliaris) has become a very successful species in Cuban forests, and in the city it has adapted spectacularly, to the point that it can be seen and heard anywhere in the city. I took photos of this couple that you will see today in the aforementioned reserve ...

After our experience crossing the famous Strait of Magellan, nobody was hurt or broke down on the barge and we finally arrived in Punta Arenas in Chile. I would describe our visit to this city as fleeting, as we only visited some shopping malls to check if everything was cheaper than in Argentina, as I had been told (answer: yes it is), but we didn't buy anything, we just had dinner and went to sleep. The most relevant thing that happened to us in Punta Arenas was that a wheel part was stolen from our car while it was parked in the street, but we wouldn't notice it until a week later. In the meantime, we continued on our way to Puerto Natales, where another barge was waiting for us to sail 😃 ...

Hello photo and travel lovers, Here is another batch of pictures that I took in Berlin last winter. I wanted to practice my street photography skills a bit more during this trip. And I combined that white a little bit of sightseeing. In this part the streets were a little to broad and I had my 50 mm lens on my camera ...

Just hiking towards the endless sky walking and making our way and hiking it was really a pleasure experience hiking in the Himalayas and the ancient Himalayas the following tales and that goes to the sky and by the side making our way through the unknown rails and reaching the top. As we looked behind, the view from the place it was insane it look like a scene from the movie or a dream that I was dreaming of there were countless valleys and the clouds and the whole picture looks very very amazing ...

hello! There’s a moment in every Venezuelan wedding when the party explodes—la hora loca kicks off and it’s like a spark sets everyone on fire. The masks go on, the music hits harder, and suddenly the dance floor is pure chaos... the good kind ...

Greetings everyone! Do you all have so many ideas when you go out to take pictures that you end up blocked? It happens to me very often. I want to do so much that I end up overwhelmed, not knowing where to start ...

Greetings to everyone in the Worldmappin community! Today I'm back here to share with you a new installment of Tourism in Carabobo. This time, I'm bringing you the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Socorro. On previous occasions, I've mentioned this cathedral as a tourist attraction in the historic center of Valencia, from its intersection with Colombia Street, parallel to other religious buildings (San Blas Church and San Francisco Church), to its importance as a National Historic Monument ...
