- Page 3The sounds of nearby car horns supporting us, strangers smiling from the sidewalks, accom- panied by echoes of the HKL anthem, set an environment flooded with the values of hu- mility, kindness, and love. The Humility, Kindness, and Love walks united people from all walks of life as they fostered a simple yet powerful message through the Tower District and the Art of Life Healing Garden in Fresno. At every step, our inner values resonated with the hearts of onlookers, creating moments of genuine connection and contemplation throughout the areas. In Tower District, a group of performers sang beautiful lyr- ics embodying our inner values, grounding us in the present mo- ment, untouched by thoughts. To close both walks, everyone closed their eyes, sat in the pres- ent, and lovingly sang, "I am humility, I am kindness, I am love," creating a lasting impact on everyone's hearts.

- WHEN OVERTHINKING BECOMES TOO MUCHThe reason overthinking and in- trusive thoughts drain your ener- gy is because no one explained the language of the brain. The brain doesn't understand what you like or don't like. It only understands what you en- gage with. So when you react to thoughts "I don't like these thoughts, they're so mean, they hurt me, why do they keep com- ing?" the brain doesn't register that you dislike them. It only sees that you're engaging. To the brain, it's like you're play- ing with those thoughts, so it assumes you enjoy them.

Recent- ly, I have found a deep sense of meaning in learning more about her remarkable journey. Mother Teresa devoted her life to serving others selflessly, she saw the light in everyone. She didn't wait for recognition or applause; she quietly gave ev- erything she could to help others. She was born on August 26, 1910, in Skopje (now North Macedonia) as Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. Mother Teresa was devoutly raised Albanian who felt a religious calling at age 12.

Growing up, I often heard about Mother Teresa and her embodiment of HKL. Her love for all from the rich to the "poorest of the poor”. Recent- ly, I have found a deep sense of meaning in learning more about her remarkable journey. Mother Teresa devoted her life to serving others selflessly, she saw the light in everyone. She didn't wait for recognition or applause; she quietly gave ev- erything she could to help others.

Image by Ashok Kumar cutta in 1929, where she taught Geography and History at St. Mary's High School (Lore- to Convent) and later became principal. In 1943, the Bengali population was facing severe poverty and famine, which deeply disturbed her. On Sep- tember 10, 1946, during a train ride, she experienced a divine calling to leave the Lo- reto Convent and live among the poor and she followed that calling. In 1948, Mother Tere- sa officially left the Convent to pursue her calling.
citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world,"
In 1919, when Mother Teresa was just eight years old, her father, Nikollë Bojaxhiu, died suddenly, possibly as a result of intentional poisoning. The murder of her father changed her life drastically. It led to se- rious financial struggles for her family. These struggles later shaped her decision to devote her life to helping the poor.
At 18, she left home to join the Sisters of Loreto, traveling first to Ireland to learn English before continuing to Calcutta, India, where she would dedi- cate her life to helping those in In 1950, she established her own congregation called the “Missionaries of Charity". This congregation focused on pro- viding support and dignity to the poor and unwanted. Later in her life she established many beautiful foundations, need.
Mother Teresa arrived in Calmore
such as Nirmal Hriday (Ka- lighat Home for the Dying), and Shanti Nagar (Leprosy re- habilitation center).
Until her very last breath, Mother Teresa devoted her life to caring for strangers and chil- dren in need. She often placed herself at risk, entering danger- ous areas to offer aid and relief to the injured. She carried the virtues of humility, kindness, and love with every step she took toward a better future. Not every act was grand. She expressed her care through simple gestures, offering med- icine, food, a warm smile, or a listening ear. Her message was both simple and profound: love is shown through actions, not words.
Mother Teresa teaches us that humility is not thinking less of yourself, but of respecting and loving others. Kindness doesn't have to be big or dramatic; small acts can ripple outward in ways we may never see. And love... love is choosing to care for others in acts of selfless service every single day, even when it's inconvenient. Mother Teresa's life is a reminder that we each have the power to con- tribute to the HKL movement. Every gentle gesture, every moment of patience, every act of care can grow into some- thing far greater than ourselves.
