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

Sasha and I were together for almost 4 years. Young, in love, making plans. He proposed to me. I was already looking at a wedding dress. And then everything changed dramatically. He started getting angry over little things, getting irritated, leaving in the evenings. I felt like I was losing him, but I couldn’t do anything. At some point, he just said: “I’m sorry, I don’t want to be with you anymore. This is not it.” I fell to my knees. Begged him to stay. He turned away. And left. The worst thing is silence. When you cry into your pillow, and he doesn’t even text. When your phone is silent for days. When you look out the window, hoping that he will appear - but no. Only darkness. I found Lilia by chance, through Instagram. I don’t know why, but I felt: she is my last hope. She immediately said: “Your happiness was stolen from you. But it is yours by fate. If you believe, we will return it.” And so it began. Prayers, working at night, protection, rituals. It was hard. But on the 10th day he wrote: "Forgive me. I don't know what came over me. I'm confused. I need you." A week later he came with flowers. He stood on the threshold, with eyes full of tears. Now we are together again. It's like he has become different. Gentle, caring, afraid of losing me. Lily, you changed my life. You pulled me out of hell. You brought back my happiness. Thank you for every prayer.

If it weren't for Lilia, I simply wouldn't have survived...
I couldn't bring myself to write for a long time, but remembering how I was looking for at least one hope, I decided to share it anyway. My name is Tatyana. I was married for 8 years. Love since college. We've been through it all: poverty, rented apartments, loans, miscarriages, tears. But we held on. Together. Always. Until he started staying late at work. Then - cold in his eyes. Silence. Then he said: "I don't love you. It's all over." It seemed to me that I was going crazy. I was going from one extreme to another. I was looking for someone to blame in myself. I couldn't breathe, eat, live. I felt that he still loved me, something just happened. But he was like a stranger. A friend of mine recommended Liliya to me, who had also gone through the same thing. I wrote to her with trembling hands. She answered right away. "He didn't leave. He's lost. But if you're ready to go all the way, I'll help." We had several sessions. She did a cleansing. I read spells, burned candles. I cried, falling asleep with a prayer in my heart. And one morning he just... arrived. Without words. Without explanations. Knelt down. Hugged. "Forgive me. Forgive me. It was as if something was holding me. I was not myself. I want to come back. If you are still waiting..." I waited. And waited. Now he is more caring than ever. Flowers, kind words, he even started talking about a second child. Lily - you are an angel. Not just a woman, not just a clairvoyant. You are like a mother who carefully pulled me out of a hole. If you are suffering now and do not know where to go - go to Lily. She will not let you drown.

At one of the most difficult moments in my life, when a man was close to another woman, I didn’t know what to do. My heart was empty, and I didn’t want to leave. Then I was pleased with Varya’s mollfark. At first I was hesitant, but decided to try it. She immediately recognized my pain and offered help through rituals to bring harmony and love to my family. The miracle did not stop. The man began to change, turned around to us, and soon he turned back home. We began to have our hundreds again, and I began to value myself. Yakbi is not Varya, I wouldn’t get into it. This is a real chance, which I rejected all the help. Now we are together again, and our family has become even stronger. Thank you, Varya, thank you!

I turned to Lilya at a time when my husband and I no longer had conversations, hugs, or plans. We simply lived side by side, like strangers. There were betrayals, tears, despair. I didn't know why I woke up in the morning. Lilya became a light for me. She didn't force anything, didn't make false promises. She simply said, "You can still change everything." After a few sessions, the situation began to change. I changed. My husband began to look at me differently. We began to build a home again, not tear it down. Thank you, Lilya. You came at the right time. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
