cmsa, division of lost angels; All my life up until a few years ago, christmas was a family experience, so at first it was hard to wrap my mind around the idea of christmas for one, but i'm getting into it this year, and it's a great opportunity to practice the "self-love" i've been hearing so much about lately... only tricky part was rediscovering the lumpy ceramics and handmade ornaments with handprints my boys brought home over the course of their childhood...they'll always make the mama in me cry.
