Exhibition of children's drawings for Mother's Day
Exhibition of children's drawings for Mother's Day Every spring brings a special holiday - Mother's Day. It is not just a date on the calendar, but a bright and touching reason to think: how often do we tell our mothers about love, thank them for their boundless care and affection? Or at least just remember... It is precisely for this day that for many years now I have been holding an exhibition of children's drawings - not as a formal organizer, but as a person who sincerely believes that art is capable of awakening the kindest and brightest feelings. This exhibition is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Sofia Lagunova. People came to our house in Kharkov for advice and help. Everything I do today is an echo of her quiet but bright life example. I call all the participants of these exhibitions "my children". Not for the sake of beautiful words, but because I have known them for years, I am happy with their professional growth, their victories and accomplishments. I am proud of them when they enter prestigious schools, participate in programs for gifted children, receive certificates and awards from politicians and public organizations. I remember how we painted a group picture together, where each child left warm words about their mother, which became the culmination. I keep this large work at home, although I gave away my other paintings. These lines contain love, tenderness, gratitude. And even if today mom is near, and tomorrow - only in memories, it is important to have time to say: "You are the best for me." Then the drawing lesson turns into not just a creative activity, but a real act of love and memory. This year the exhibition was especially heartfelt. Florist and designer Tatyana Laskava shared the good news: Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton presented her with an honorary award. Inspired by this event, Tatyana decided to surprise her mother Nella Dubitskaya on the occasion of her 84th birthday. Three decades ago, she moved from Odessa to the United States and crochets elegant tablecloths and napkins, but most importantly, she raised hard-working children. Recently, due to the war in Ukraine, her grandchildren and talented great-granddaughter Ksenia Lysenko came to visit her. She draws, plays the piano, continues her studies with Odessa teachers online and has already been accepted to study at Bay Academy. Thanks to all the mothers who get up before everyone else every morning, make breakfast, take their children to school, clubs, lessons and sections. Thanks also to the fathers who love, support and help. Family love is the foundation on which everything is built. And drawing... It not only develops imagination and fine motor skills. It heals, distracts from worries, seats the child at the table, gives a brush in his hands and inspires to create a world in which he wants to live. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supports my endeavors: my friend Ari Kagan, Aelita Club President Leonora Bulycheva, Aelita Club Board Member Tatyana Golyak, Anechka Shpilkovskaya, as well as the wonderful and responsive family of Odessans who now live in New York, the Laskavykhs — Tatyana, Petr, Oksana; Ksenia and Dmitry Lysenko; the Sotsky family — Elena, Maxim, Alla, and Arina, who made a huge contribution to organizing the exhibition. Special thanks to Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton and Justin Brannan, New York City Council for the certificates of honor to my talented children. I would like to thank the information sponsors: the newspaper "R.Reklama", the media holding "R.Reklama" and the radio. I believe that after reading this article, someone will think: "Why don't I call my mother?" Someone will buy a ticket, come, hug me, sit next to me at the table. And then I will understand: perhaps I live for a reason. Thanks to Anna for the wonderful photographs. Congratulations to 6 talented children who were awarded certificates. Marina Lagunova

Thank you, Matrona, for giving me back my love, life, and soul.
Matrona is the one who brought back my love and faith in miracles. I write these lines through tears of gratitude... I still can't believe it happened to me. My heart was broken, my soul in tatters, and every day seemed like an eternity without him. We parted so painfully, so unexpectedly. It was as if a part of me had been torn out by the roots. He simply left. Without explanation. Without the right to ask questions. I was silent, but inside I was screaming in pain... I tried everything... talking, trying to let go, advice from friends, psychologists... But nothing could extinguish the fire in my chest. I felt: he was my destiny, and we cannot simply disappear from each other's lives. By the will of fate, or perhaps through prayer, I came across information about the clairvoyant Matrona. At first, I didn't believe it. But that same night, I had a strange, warm dream where a woman in a headscarf told me: Trust. Everything will be as you ask. The next day, I contacted Matrona. When she spoke, I got goosebumps... She knew EVERYTHING. My feelings, our history, even his words that he once told me word for word. I cried throughout the entire consultation. But her voice was so soft, as if it were her own. She said that our union was not over, that he was also suffering, but did not know how to return... And that she would help. She carried out her work with her soul, with prayers, with bright energy. And after just 11 days, he wrote. Simply: I dreamed of you every night. I realized that I can’t live without you. Forgive me. I want to go home... Now he is near. He looks into my eyes, holds my hand, hugs me at night, and every time I remember that very Matrona. Matrona is not just a clairvoyant. She is a woman with a Gift from God. Compassionate, genuine. She helps not out of self-interest, but from the heart. If you are suffering now, if you think all is lost, please do not lose hope. Turn to her. I sincerely believe: if not for her, we would no longer exist. Thank you, Matrona. For returning my love, life, and soul. I pray for your health and happiness every day.
My husband left 4 months ago. He said he didn't love me. He just packed his things and left. I was lying on the floor, crying, not eating, not living. I wrote to him, called him - he ignored me... I came across Lilia by accident. My last hope. I wrote to her, my hands were shaking... She said: "You will bring him back. Give me 3 days." I didn't believe it... but on the second day HE WROTE. On the third - he came with flowers and asked for forgiveness... Now he is sleeping next to me. And I am crying with happiness. Thank you, Lilia. You saved my family.

Real result after rituals with Olga Nikolaevna I turned to her because of money problems and constant failures. It seemed that everything I touched was collapsing. Even my health began to fail. Olga Nikolaevna saw the road closures, made diagnostics and began the cleansing. After the first week I felt inner relief, and a month later I received a job offer that completely changed my life. She does everything with faith and light, very kindly, with prayers. Her fortune telling is accurate, without unnecessary things. I recommend her with all my heart! Contact: +380687014758
He left. I was left alone. And only Lilia said: This is not the end.
Everyone said, "Let it go. Forget it." But my heart ached. When I came to Lilia, I was broken. She saw that there was still a connection between us. And she helped me restore it. I worked on myself. On my energy, on my state. Lilia led me step by step. After two months, he called. After three, he came back. Now we are together again, as if everything was all over again. Only stronger. I don’t know how you do it, Lilia. But you brought my love back. And that is priceless. Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
It sounds unrealistic, but Lilya told me the exact date when he would return. He left home in tears, said that he "fell in love." I didn't blame him, but it hurt like crazy. I turned to Lilya, she immediately said that he was taken away deliberately, there was an energetic connection. We had three sessions. And on the 12th day, the day she said, he showed up. He said that he missed me, that everything was not as he thought. A month has passed since then. We are together again, and every day I thank God and Lilya for a second chance.
