There is a wonderful holiday on February 17 - the International Day of Spontaneous Kindness, which is celebrated in different countries to set an example for others and emphasize the importance of good deeds towards each other. For 4 years in a row, this significant day has been celebrated in New York at the My Way children's creativity center. The tradition was started in February 2021, when a grand online marathon was held, in which musicians, performers, artists, public and political figures from different countries took part, expressing with their participation the meaning and influence of kindness for human upbringing. During the pandemic, the President of Brooklyn and now the 110th Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, declared Kindness Day an annual event. This year, politicians came to the children to become part of the historical event, so that together they could radiate positive energy, setting an example of kindness. Also this year, N'joy Entertainment joined the Kindness Day by donating balloons to the children. Professional artists and teachers of the center also contributed. The highlight of the event was the “Tree of Kindness”, which was collected from kind words: love, smile and children's laughter. Anastasia Yaskova, Brooklyn Boro Director CAU office of the Mayor, presented the My Way center with a certificate of honor from the Mayor of the city, Eric Adams. Many years ago I saw the first children’s works and was delighted, so I carefully follow the children’s successes, look at their work on FaceBook and rejoice along with their parents: acrylic paintings, pencil drawings, incredible progress in their work is visible. I admire teacher Emin Guliyev. The works of children from the center were shown at the exhibition “Uniting people and all religions for peace on earth” in Davos at the International Economic Forum, where they were taken by teachers from the center. Also, talented children visiting the center take part in exhibitions held by the newspaper "R.Advertising". The center is headed by an excellent teacher Alena Badalova. Children dancers in national costumes always decorate any event, be it government receptions or various charity concerts. But the most important thing is that I saw how children rush and run to classes and they do not have time to simply and aimlessly waste their lives on the street. Of course, this is the merit of teachers and their parents. The Children's Art Center is trying to survive in difficult conditions and is immensely grateful for the help provided by Ari Kagan, as a member of the New York City Council, as well as the New York City Council, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, and the NYS Council on the Arts, which allows continue to teach our children culture, creativity and self-improvement. Thanks to all the kind people who help the center. Interview with President CYDC My Way by Alena Badalova recorded by Marina Lagunova

My cry from the heart. A review of the fortune teller Marfa.
My Cry from the Heart. A Review of the Fortune Teller Marfa. I am writing these lines, crying... I never thought I would reach such despair. My life was collapsing like a house of cards. My husband left for another woman. He simply packed his things and left, leaving me alone with a child and a pain that was tearing my heart to pieces. I wandered the apartment, restless, sobbing into my pillow at night, praying... but it seemed like God wasn't hearing me. One day, by chance, I came across a review of the fortune teller Marfa. I didn't believe in fortune tellers or rituals, but back then I didn't care if I just wanted my loved one back, if only I couldn't feel this emptiness. I wrote to her. And from that moment, a miracle began in my life. Marfa is not just a woman. She seems to see right through my soul. When she began to speak, I sat and trembled... she knew everything: what was happening between us, what he said, what I felt. Tears flowed naturally. Martha said, "You're not alone. We'll get everything back." And I believed her. Three days later, my husband wrote. At first, he was dry, then he started calling, asking for forgiveness, saying he couldn't live without us. I couldn't believe my eyes; I just sat and cried, looking at the phone. And then he came back. To our home, to our child... to our love. Now I live as if in another world. We are together again, he has become caring, attentive, as if he had been replaced. I still don't understand how Martha does it. She gave me back not only my husband... she gave me back my life. If you are reading this and feel the same pain I felt... don't lose hope. Martha works miracles. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my dear. May God protect you for saving families and women's hearts... Martha +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
I want to tell you about my life... about how I got to know Martha.
Good afternoon. I want to tell you about my life... about how I met Martha. My life has never been easy. Everywhere you look, there’s a lot of experimentation: either there’s no money coming out of everything I need, then people are happy, they’re checking how much more I can get. My heart sank at the selfishness and feeling that no one needed me. It seemed that the darkness would never come, but would end with each day. And one time, when it seemed that I could see nothing else, my mother introduced me to the woman who had changed my life. Vaughn stretched out her hand to me when I fell into the middle, supported me in everything, in my life, in everyday difficulties and in my inner doubts. For the first time in a long time, I experienced warmth and a turbo that I had never expected in the world. With her help, I learned to trust people again and believe in goodness. My heart gradually filled with light, and I realized: in the dark days there is hope, after the greatest disappointments you can rise. Now I am strong, confident in myself and ready to hear new shouts from this year. This woman gave me not just help - she gave me faith in herself. And I know for sure: no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I can overcome them, because now I’m not on my own. I’ll leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
I have three children. When my husband left, I was left alone with them. He went to a young girl, said he was tired. Lilya helped me understand what was happening. She explained that there is energy manipulation, and suggested a ritual. Honestly, I did not know what to expect. But there was a result - after 2 weeks he began to communicate with the eldest son, then he came to the birthday of the youngest ... and stayed. Now we go to a family psychologist, he regrets what happened. I know that without Lily's help we would not be together.
