Hypocrisy is easy to spot in others and hard to see in the mirror. [Your Name] grew up in a violent, divided home and survived gang life, addiction, and a brutal assault that meant relearning to walk and talk. The lesson: how we judge others often says more about us than about them. This talk explores a simple, uncomfortable truth: understanding others starts with looking at ourselves. Come ready to reflect, and maybe catch yourself in the act.
In person at 10:30am at 4451 Dunsmore Ave., La Crescenta, CA 91214 or visit the UUCVH website for the ZOOM link https://www.uuverdugo.org/

<h1>What Is It?</h1>
Children become part of their own Christmas story as they help deliver teddy bears to the North Pole. This interactive holiday photography experience creates a beautiful series of portraits that tell the adventure from beginning to end.

Looking for something more magical than traditional Christmas photos?
The North Pole Teddy Bear Adventure is an interactive Christmas photography experience where children don't simply pose—they become part of the story.

Create a collection of portraits that tell the entire story
</li>
</ul>
Every photograph captures another chapter of the adventure, creating memories that children will remember long after Christmas is over.
Unlike a traditional mini session, this experience is designed around storytelling, imagination, and genuine childhood wonder.
The result is more than holiday portraits—it's a Christmas adventure your family can revisit every year.
