Ama Hugs

I recently had the honor of my first visit to meet the hugging guru, Ama who was on her annual tour through LA.  It was quite a large production that I had not anticipated and I found this doll of her as Ganesh and couldn’t resist getting it. Curiously the mantra she offered me was the cooing my own mother made to her babies. I nested my new doll with my collection of Peruvian worry dolls.
