Quotes by Catherine Auman (?)

“Feeling unappreciated is one of the main reasons people give for why they leave jobs and relationships. That’s why it’s so refreshing to hear what someone else appreciates about us. How nice is it to think of an oasis where someone is noticing what we do right.”
― Catherine Auman, The Tantric Mastery Collection: The Complete Tantric Mastery Series 3-in-1 Compila
