Gratitude
As an intimacy coach I thank every man, woman, and couple who has ever shown up at my door longing to journey into the heart of their loving. You are my teachers, my peers, none of you dysfunctional, and all of you whole and capable of profound loving. I bow to you who risk being authentic in your sexual exploration. You hold up the mirror to my fears, challenges, and joys of becoming an amazing lover. In gratitude, Charla Hathaway
