Toricos better late than never Curation Picks

The Minnow Support Project has multiple curators that pick five posts each to curate through MSP3k. In this way, MSP and PAL can promote new writers and content creators on Steemit, and in effect reward them for doing a superior job.

I was supposed to do my post last week, but I've been off my feed so... here is my better late than never picks for last week on Peace, Abundance, Liberty and Sustainability.

Curating for the topics of peace, abundance and liberty is very hit or miss. I don't feel qualified to curate these articles because I am jaded and biased, therefore I throw out a lot of stuff for being too political, too touchy feely and too opinionated without any proof. I wanted to choose articles that most people could identify with. Most of those posts come from well established authors with strong followings.

Here are my week of recommendations:

Peace

My article of choice for Peace is A Dollar A Day - an update on charitable giving on steemit - why it's real for me's post pennsif. This article does not have the peace tag, however I feel it embodies this topic. Pennsif started the Dollar a Day initiative as a way to help others. So far he has donated 30sbd to seven different Steemit charities, and is inviting others to join him in giving to those in need. "If $10 is a month's wage in Venezuela, it is one hour's wage in Britain"

Liberty

Money is really stolen before taxation moneytree - " The agenda we currently have, which implies that all proceeds the rich enjoy are indeed the hard-earned money by wealth creators is simply a lie." Thus is the premise for this short article on why the monetary reward system is a farce.

Sustainability

Spinning yarn, part 3 by arcticgarden. This is the third post in a three part series on how to spin yarn using a spinning wheel. There are fantastic step by step instructions and a video. The author, who is from Sweden, has a fantastic blog about finding ways to be more self sufficient.

Best New PAL Member

I created this last category because I feel it's a good idea to recognise the efforts of our own members in PAL who write interesting posts worth curating.

I am going to be slightly partial and go for my friend pony. Dunstuff doesn't write much. Mostly he hangs around and entertains the rest of us with his antics, so when I caught this post I was enamoured. Day 1 - Narrow Neck - Taros Ladders and Beyond in the dark and rain by dunstuff is an adventure story about eight peeps who go on a hiking and rock climbing expedition in the Blue Mountains of Australia. This is part one so I'm looking forward to the rest! Please go show Pony some love!

Honorable Mentions

Below are a few interesting articles I found that either fit in or get first pick, yet I wanted to mention. The first two have very low payout, so please check them out and give them some love.

The Rewards of Listening To Complex and Challenging Music by winstonalden - simply the most interesting collection of tracks that you have never heard.

The Third Iteration - "How to Be an Information War Activist" by stevescoins

How to manage my business more sustainably by ecoinstant

8 non-profits to donate to on Giving Tuesday, by agnesconstante

Planting of mustard greens and harvesting by akunku

A Relaxing Country Christmas by funhappylives. The author is fairly new to Steem, and desribes herself as someone who "thinks outside the box". At the same time she has created a lovely, old fashioned post about the joys of simple country traditions and cooking.
