This was a very intimate, up close and personal event which was informative, personal and riveting throughout the whole evening. I was just mesmerized with Charles Dutton's honest and forthright deliverance while sharing some of the most intimate events in his life. I noticed that this was only for one evening, but it should be ongoing. It was a powerful message that was delivered and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to be a participant. The seats were fabulous, as always (third row/center) and it felt like being at home with a friend and sharing some positive information and exchanges that were priceless.Written on Oct 09 2008

Thank You Charles for your work and stamina. :-)Written on Oct 08 2008
