"Nothing is more complicated than love, it's true. The story behind The Bedroom Sessions is one that lives inside each of us. Take a deep breath, appreciate the moment, the tenderness, the butterflies in your tummy when the one you adore is near... let the distance, the space between, give you reasons to believe. Never doubt the magic you feel in your heart..." ~ Jenna Z. Wilson
