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

I came to Daria simply out of curiosity. There was no particular problem, but I wanted to understand: what awaits me, where everything is going. She immediately laid out the cards and said things that seemed strange at the time. For example, that within a month a person from the past would return to my life and that I would be offered cooperation that would open a new path. I brushed it off then - I did not communicate with anyone from the past, and there were no offers. But exactly two weeks later, a former classmate with whom I had not spoken for more than 10 years wrote to me and invited me to work with her on a project. Everything coincided down to the smallest detail. It was this offer that became a starting point for me - I changed my field, began to do what I had been putting off for a long time, and felt alive. Daria does not just look at the cards - she helps you understand yourself and your paths. She speaks calmly, with respect, without intimidation. After a session with her, my soul felt lighter, a feeling of confidence appeared, which I lacked so much. Now I know exactly who to contact if I need a hint. Here is her number: +1 (646) 377-9379

Thank you, Lilia, for your warmth, tact, strength, and light. You didn't just give me back my man; you helped me restore love and faith in life.
Lilia was the person who gave me hope during my darkest hour. I was on the brink—pain, tears, loss, sleepless nights… But she simply listened, understood, and helped me restore not only my relationship, but also myself. With her by my side, I felt like I wasn't alone. She helped me become stronger, taught me to hear and feel—not only myself, but also my loved one. Thanks to this, we are together again. I didn't even believe it was possible. Thank you, Lilia, for your warmth, tact, strength, and light. You didn't just give me back a man; you helped me restore love and faith in life.
