Instead, the roads were filled with stalls from local vendors and community groups from all around Kingston. HKL Kingston was very fortunate to receive a platform to engage with the local community and collectively take part in conscious living challenges such as bringing our awareness to the dance of our hearts and our connection with the Earth.

The nurse continued to come every day with a brownie. She would place it in front of Annie and try to speak with her. Annie remained unresponsive, almost like a stone. Yet the nurse did not lose heart.

The outer journey may be necessary, but in time, it can lead us back to the heart. Santiago begins as a shepherd searching for treasure and ends with a deeper understanding of himself, his path, and the world around him. In the same way, our own lives can become an inner journey. What we spend years seeking in the world may ultimately lead us back to something that was within us all along, a deeper connection with ourselves, with the Divine, and with the truth of who we are. This is where I find a beauti ful connection with HKL. The HKL Global Movement speaks of awakening and reconnecting with virtues that already exist within us: Humility, Kindness, and Love. The inner world where the Divine resides. It is important to have heart to heart connection. The journey is not necessarily about becoming something we have never been before, but about becoming present enough to recognize and live from our inner beauty.
- DAILY HKL AFFIRMATION“WE ARE HUMILITY, WE ARE KINDNESS, WE ARE LOVE” True transformation doesn’t come from words, it comes from practice of turning inward and connecting with yourself. Commit to this practice for 7 days and feel the shift.

BINGO, BLESSINGS & BELONGING
EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA
On August 13, 2026, the Edmonton HKL Youth had the opportunity to visit Laurel Heights Retirement
Residence.
This experience allowed us to build meaningful connections with the residents and share moments of gratitude, joy, and love.
We organized an evening of bingo, bringing residents together to enjoy the game and one another’s company. We had initially prepared a gift basket for one lucky winner, which sparked plenty of enthusiasm and excitement. Everyone eagerly listened as each number was called, hoping theirs would be next. Seeing their excitement, we decided to split the gift basket three ways, giving more residents a chance to win! After bingo, we guided the group through breathing exercises and encouraged everyone to reflect on the blessings in their lives.
The evening reminded us that happiness can often be found in the simplest moments. We saw how something as small as a bingo prize could bring so much joy. Our time with the residents also showed us that through Humility, Kindness, and Love, even simple acts can help others feel valued, appreciated, and cared for.
Our visit became about much more than an evening of bingo. It reminded us that service is not only about what we give, but also about what we can learn and gain from the connections we make. It is found in the stories shared, the wisdom passed down, and the lessons we carry forward into our lives.
Our elders hold a precious place in our families and communities. As generations can grow apart, it becomes even more important to create opportunities to reconnect. Taking the time to sit together, listen to their stories, and share in everyday moments is one way we can honour the lives they have lived and the contributions they continue to make. Their experiences carry wisdom that can enrich the generations that follow. Caring for our elders is not simply a responsibility; it is an expression of gratitude, respect, and love, and a way of keeping the connection between generations alive.

When Kindness Meets Us Along the Way
At the beginning of September, around 70 members and volunteers of the HKL community came together in Surrey for an HKL walk, bringing incredible energy to the streets. As we made our way past local shops, something unexpected and beautiful happened.
SURREY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
The team at Nirvana Rehab Centre noticed our group passing by and stepped outside to learn more about the global movement. One of our volunteers stopped to share the message behind Humility, Kindness, and Love, and the team was so moved that they invited us to return after the walk, generously offering food and coffee to everyone in the group.
After completing our walk, some of our volunteers returned and were welcomed with refreshments and warm hospitality. But the connection didn’t end there. The following day, the team reached out to share how much the encounter had meant to them. They expressed that seeing everyone come together with “positive energy, love, and a shared purpose of serving humanity filled our hearts with happiness.” They also shared that they felt blessed by the group’s presence and inspired by the selfless work being done for humanity.
It was a wonderful reminder of how much compassion exists in people everywhere and how quickly a chance encounter can turn into a meaningful connection.
Moments like this remind us that kindness does not always have to be planned. Sometimes, it simply meets us along the way. Through walks and initiatives like these, HKL continues to bring people together and inspire Humility, Kindness, and Love in our communities.
