Dear ,
Hello from Cambodia. Right now my parents and I are in a beach town called Sihanoukville, named after the late King Norodom Sihanouk. This is the last 2 days of our almost 3 week trip and suffices it to say this is the best
trip for me this year.
I have been to Italy, Turkey, Greece, Canada, Lombok...and this trip has been the best because...well, I have my parents with me which is special, number one and number two, because the entire experience taught me one thing: why leaning back (aka the path of no resistance has been the key of my wildly successful teachings that has afforded me this worldwide travel (and my business actually growing each time I'm away and has less time
to tend to it).
So bottom line is leaning back is a way of life to me. I lean back in my relationship. I lean back with my clients for the most part and I lean back in my approach to my business as well and it grows...grows and grows.
The main subject of this email is my experience of sharing space with Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
Aung San Suu Kyi. As you well know we were on a cruise first half of our trip. Three days into cruising they gave us private viewing of
The Lady, a movie based on Aung San Suu Kyi's story played by fantastic
Michelle Yeoh who transformed herself into this woman.
I saw this on a flight to Asia three years ago and loved it. The awe didn't leave me on second viewing.
This is one marvelously courageous woman and human being, one of the greatest that ever walks on our
earth.
She is so soft and feminine on the outside but she's steely strong in the inside. The press calls her the Steel Orchid.
People call me the Lean Back Queen but she is the Queen of all Queens of Leaning Back, hands down. She steadfastly stuck to the path of non violence and no resistance and like water after 15 years of on-and-off house arrest and leaving behind a husband -who died of cancer without her on his
side- and two sons who couldn't contact or visit her and total 21 years of struggle against oppression and military dictatorship, her feminine leadership finally cracked the unyielding rock.
She was released on November 13, 2010.
She is today on the verge of leading her 51 million people toward freedom and democracy by doing "absolutely nothing." By having absolute faith in the virtue of patience
and herself. By leaning back and allowing things to unravel organically in its own time.
I teared up as I was writing this.
This is the essence of my teachings. Do less to get more and don't resist nature. Don't go against the flow of life. It will happen when it's supposed to happen, not because you think it *should* happen.
And fate has it that we were on the same flight
with this heroine of millions of people toward the end of or our visit to Myanmar. Though I couldn't shake her hand or take her pictures (only a glimpse of footage as she was swiftly ushered out of the plane into a van), by just being in such a close vicinity with this extraordinary soul was truly an honor.
That was the culmination of our exciting Burmese adventure. I'm so impressed by the country, culture and the people. As if to close it on even
a higher note, the universe put us in the same flight as her.
And this is why this trip has been the best this year, not to mention the beautiful pagodas and temples we visited in both Myanmar and Cambodia.
If you haven't watched that movie,
I urge you to watch it. You'll be so touched and you
will understand my message better. This lean back woman wins the hearts of millions and billions all over the world, men and women. Her husband was so proud of her even though she had to sacrifice her family for a purpose greater than herself. She raised to the occasion and surrendered to the destiny Heaven consigns upon her, so willingly...so without an ounce of resistance.
You surely can also win the hearts of the men you date!
Or your EUM.
And before I close this email, guess what?
Yup, engagement no. 26 this year just got in just 8 days ago! Yes, it's not a rarity in my realm if you have been following me a while now. You will get this great news almost with every email I write you.
Her name is Angela. She's an actress. She was dumped by two guys back to back, one of them was the EUM who brought her to
me.
She shared in the group: "Yes, I am engaged! Not to my EUM, but to another man who is exceptional to me. I am so in love and so happy. The key was leaning back and confidence. The ring is perfect and so is the boy.
He is a MMA fighter and brings me flowers WEEKLY. He is so cute and
beyond kind. By the way, this engagement just happened a few hours ago. I was going to tell you ladies tonight! :)
We were supposed to meet a year ago, but he and I were not in the right head space. I posted this photo on Instagram when I was sick and he contacted me again. I had pneumonia at the time and I couldn't get out of bed. He offered to bring me soup and I said no. When I was feeling better, we went for a walk on the pier by my house (I live at the beach).
It was our first "date."
We spent hours just talking. He kissed me at my car and from that moment on, I knew he was hooked. I kept my rotation going but Daniel made it known he wanted to claim me. I kept being the goddess that I am (well have learned to be thanks to Kat and you ladies).
He has brought me flowers every single week, without fail to my office. He treats me like I am precious. I just went through two major surgeries last week and
he waited in the waiting room for 4 hours, and I didn't know he was. He wanted to stay in my room with me. Long story short, he has been exceptional to me.
Today he told me that we were going on a drive. He took me to Santa Cruz (a Northern California beach town 4 hours away) because he wanted to show me the light house that he and his mother loved to go to. Today is the anniversary of his father's suicide, and a really hard day for him.
I thought we were going just to get me out of the house for a bit.
Well, he started saying a bunch of sweet things to me and I totally didn't understand he was proposing to me. Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I just kept saying "are you serious?! Are you serious?!"
And crying.
I had NO idea there was a cameraman a few feet away filming me. As an actress you think
that I would have seen that! LOL. Anyway, he was crying and I was crying and it was wonderful. He is the best man I have ever met. It may be fast, but he is the one I deserve and have waited for.
And he has amazing taste in rings! I can't get a great picture of the ring, but it is a one carat center stone, in a platinum halo setting. The stone is flawless! It sparkles so very much. I cannot believe this happened! Listen to Kat. She knows her stuff. Also, do the inner work. Trust me."
She only read
my book and being in the support group as part of the package really helped her growth a great deal. So if you haven't already got it, what are you waiting for?
Prices are going to continually go up cause I also offer
coaching with the ebook and my time is getting more and more limited. There is only one of me and millions of you, literally.
Love,
Katarina
