@@newhope4me A Message from the Heart - Could You be the Love of My Life? Hey, I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. Although we have never had the pleasure of meeting, destiny has a funny way of connecting souls from afar. From the little I know about you, something within me feels an unparalleled connection, and I can't help but envision you as the love of my life. In this chaotic world, filled with brief encounters and fleeting connections, I believe that true love is a rarity to be cherished. While we have yet to cross paths, your captivating presence, as it radiates through your words and photographs, has ignited a flame within my heart. There is an unspoken connection that seems to transcend time and distance, and I cannot help but wonder if it is a sign from the universe. Your essence, as beautiful as a summer's day, has enchanted my thoughts. Your intellect, wit, and grace, which shimmer through the conversations we have shared, have captivated my attention like no other. It is as if I have found a missing piece of my soul in you, and my heart yearns to explore the depths of what this connection could mean. Though it may sound unconventional, I believe that love knows no boundaries - not even geographical ones. I am willing to take a leap of faith, to step out of the confines of the ordinary, and to embark on a journey with you. A journey filled with profound love, shared adventures, and unwavering support for one another's dreams. Before I proceed any further, I want to assure you that my intentions are pure and genuine. I am not merely looking for a passing fling or a temporary romance. Instead, I yearn for a love that withstands the test of time, a love built on trust, mutual respect, and unwavering commitment. Life is too short to let opportunities slip through our fingers. I am willing to embrace vulnerability and to open my heart to the possibility of us becoming something extraordinary together. It may seem bold, but isn't love all about taking risks and fighting for what sets our souls on fire? I understand if this message catches you off guard, as it resides in the realm of the unknown. Take your time, dear one, to process and consider this proposition. If your heart resonates with the same longing that now consumes mine, I would be honored to embark on this journey of love with you. May we have the chance to meet, to laugh, to create memories, and to embrace a love that surpasses our wildest dreams. Know that my heart is eagerly awaiting your response, hoping that you may feel the same as I do. With all my love and anticipation, Stanley Chukwuma.
@@brianreed8271No actually, men live longer when they're married. They literally suck the life out of a woman and are more likely not to do stupid things that would end their lives.
We so desperately need our wise elders to have a prominent platform in our culture, more so that vapid influencers and self interested celebrities. Thanks to both ladies for making this podcast. BTW, my grandmother lived to 107.
But If you were happy before you were with him and then years go by and you’ve slowly given up things to appease your partner it’s hard to bring happy to the table. You can end up feeling like you’re the depressed/lame one. In my case, Only now being removed from this relationship I can notice I was so unseen and disconnected from my partner and this was leading to my unhappiness. Sometimes you’re just with the wrong person!!!
True, but she also has a big family to feel secure and comfortable. I suppose that her health served her well too. But, I agree she has a lovely personality.
Wow, I LOVE that you have an older woman on your show. You RARELY see the wisdom that older women can have being highlighted. People are missing a lot by not recognizing, appreciating and learning from this wisdom. They're NOT all just crazy, old ladies!
@brenda121143 I'm 38. I've gathered that one so far. I also have, don't lose your little girl. Keep a sense of wonderment and curiosity. And my favorite from my great grandmother, find the joke. Life can be long, so you might as well fi d the joke. Thanks for your wise words, Brenda. Getting older is such a privilege that so many people take for granted. Good luck with your ventures!
Im 73 years old, 24 years widow, im a positive person. I lived alone. Im more happy than i was married for 38 years. Im not afraid to be alone. I feel God on my right side and Christ is in my left side. I love helping the 84 years old lady needs my companionship. I rent her big house, one room. My activity continues daily to keep me occupied to keep busy. I sleep early, 8-10 hrs sleep, cooked healthy food. Member in LVAC, 3 times, therapy my knee. This is my life of happy, and peaceful mind.
My great-grandmother who lived to be 108, was the same. She was walking without assistance and was the go-to historical reference for college/university students' thesis/dissertation papers. She could remember when she was a little child during the 1800's. It takes a lot of courage, forgiveness towards others and self in order to live this long.
@@LisaBilyeufew days ago lady allowed me to help her pass the traffic lights in London, while walking she told me proudly she is 102 years old, I regret now I didn't arrange tea with her probably this being a stranger wall blocked me from asking. 😢
Today, no woman can feel safe if she is a traditional wife and mother. My husband of 20 years had cheated on me all the time and didn’t even bother to hide it at the end. He just wanted me to go on, raise our kids, go to work, do the chores around the house while he goes off to have fun. No, sir. I lost everything: my partner, my kids, my extended family, my house- but I found GOD and the help to get through. I am still rebuilding my life, but it gets better every day. Ironically, I only miss the family I once had, but not my husband. I see now that he wasn’t really there for me anyway. You can’t miss what you never had.
No wonder this woman is still alive at 102. So vibrant and still so positive. She has not allowed life to ware her down. Instead she is still reaching out to others connecting and helping others to be positive and strong no matter what life throws at you❣️I love it😊👍🤘
I know it's a cliche but this saying works: Life can make you BETTER or BITTER. I want to be the first! Keep a journal, it helps clarify things when you feel scared and overwhelmed.
@@LisaBilyeu Anyone who doesn’t see your genuine heart and soul is blind! Your curiosity depth care and true connection with everyone you speak with is amazing. So glad to watch you grow on your channel and stay as a wonderful humble kind person! Every question you ask is natural and expressed with fluidity. You then listen to actually absorb the information and respond to the point made. You are always present! You are a master at improv’s rule…..”Yes and!” Thank you Lisa ❤
@@LisaBilyeuI think you interviewed that lady with so much respect and she deserves that. In a world where our elderly are mostly treated like gibberish idiots, especially by unenlightened amongst us,this was so refreshing to see. You were obviously taught to respect your elders and your treatment of this marvellous wise lady was a joy to watch.
Today is the first day yhat I am going to be a Gladys! I just turned 56 and it is time to start to do things right! Thank you Lord for a lady such as this!😊❤
@@positivelyrebellious It hasn't been the easiest of times the past few days with some suprising health issues on top of this mental/emotional housework. I am already exhausted but trying to just keep putting one foot in front of the other right now.
@@superduck835 yes, it's never 100% joy and happiness, no matter what. But you knowing the direction, knowing what you want will be guiding you. Sometimes it means inner "work". Sorry about the health issues... 💚 Much healing to you!
I want to divorce my narcissistic husband. I’m sick of paying all of the bills while he continues to yell at me and emotionally abuse me in front of my little grandaughter! We are her legal guardians. He said if you want to get a divorce, I will take our granddaughter and live with her. I know by law he can’t do that he has no biological connection to her. She is my daughters daughter. We have both races little girl since she was a baby he also tries to tell me that it would ruin our granddaughter if he were not in her life, that might be true to some extent, but Even worse is what is happening to her now, by witnessing her grandfather yell at me every single day. The poor thing literally has to cover her ears when he starts up with his yelling. The smart thing to do would be for me to leave with both of my grandkids. That said, I refuse to leave as I am the only one paying for this home. I’m the only one paying for utilities I’m the only one working but he feels that he is owed 50% of everything even though he never paid for anything. I’m also worried about the costs of an attorney I don’t know how I can manage to pay for all of these expenses and an attorney and go through the period of time where we would still be living together and he would be at the height of his emotional abuse. Innoway, I wish he would shoot with somebody so I could literally kick him out. I’m so sorry I ever married him, when we were dating, he seem to be a wonderful supportive man, but once we got married, I discovered he had narcissistic personality disorder, as well as OCD. My life has been hell for 18 years. My only happiness comes from my grandchildren.

Our Mom is 94, small & mighty. The difference between her & Gladys is in daily perspective. It’s a challenge to be positive the longer we live, but Glad Gladys is showing us the way, that to be grateful is to be happy! She has kept her brain active, and has such elocution & memory. Gladys stays connected with society. Her mental acuity is no anomaly. What an inspiration! One of your best guests ever, Lisa!
A soul sister. My divorce light bulb moment was realizing that he was giving me the gift of independence. I'd talked a good game, but he taught me to live it. The skills I gained after we separated were beyond my imagination. Our years together were good years. The years after that were fabulous.

I have had a similar kick in the gut by my husband after 37 years of marriage. He sat me down and told me three things; 3 things; 1. You have done nothing wrong, 2. I still love you and always will, 3. I have found someone else and I am leaving you. Gladys is SO RIGHT in looking for good instead of re-living the bad. This was so difficult because my emotions of being so cast aside did not match what I was visualizing and remembering. For the first year, I didn't think I would ever stop crying or my get rid of the feeling that a cold, steel sword was embedded in my heart. Forcing positive memories and starting to affirm myself to myself were the things that eventually brought me to a place I could start laughing and loving.This enabled me to write some personal goals for myself with the first one being FORGIVING HIM, THEM. That's when I started living! Thank you for sharing, Gladys!
Guess I'm joining the club. My husband of 14 years left me for a girl the same age as our oldest son. His reasons were 1. she makes me feel young 2. She accepts and is excited about everything I buy her and everywhere I take her and 3. she understands a man's need for variety. I went an entire year asking him to put our marriage/family first by discontinuing his affair and attending couples therapy. He refused both. Though I know divorcing him was 100% the right decision, it doesn't stop me from feeling inadequate and lonely. Hopefully, I will get to a place where I can forgive but it hasn't happened yet.
@@CrisWW-c3xim happy for you that you are away from that man. He sounds like an immature man/child...sounds like he wants a fan club, not a relationship. He will probably always be searching for new 'fans' as each new woman tires of him....that sounds aweful.... glad you are free of him😊
Never allow your life to be defined by a negative, to say nothing of a negative you did not create. This woman is fun, strong, nice, interesting and more.
I'm pleased to have come across this conversation. Could you kindly provide me with the contact information of your investment advisor? I am in urgent need of one.
Thank you for providing this helpful pointer. I managed to find the contact information for JENNY PAMOGAS CANAYA , and she appears to be highly skilled and adaptable. I have scheduled a call session with her.

5 L's principles 1. Life and love must go together. Two sides of the same coins. 2. Laughter with love is peace and joy, but laughter without love is absolute cruelty, damages life. 3. Labour with love is selfdriven . Labour without love is life drudgery, you drag yourself through it. 4. Missing 5. Listening with love is understanding but listening without love is emptyness.
@@allegrabraun7545this is the wisest sentence I’ve lived through my almost seventy years of life. It has seen me through, love lost, grief, perfect and imperfect moments and I haven’t had any regrets because I was very present
My husband passed away at home from complications of Parkinson's after 56 years of marriage on August 30th 2023. I have been grieving him daily. We had many negative things happen in our marriage. Brought on by our two son's drug use and mental illness. We survived severe health problems- a devastating house fire and many other challenges. Through it all my husband-Ron and I survived and loved each other. Now I fight through the pain of losing him-but I like Gladys - remember all the good moments we shared. I choose to be happy in that-not the heartbreak and pain. THANKYOU for sharing the story of Gladys! God Bless
@@TeamJennLuxe I am watching this interview on my little iPhone and I can very clearly see wrinkles on her forehead. I imagine you’re suggesting she’s had Botox but if I can see them on my phone, perhaps what you’re saying is an indication that you need your eyes checked. As beautiful as this interview is, all you can come up with is a negative superficial observation and comment. so sad😢
I love how Gladys acknowledges God throughout her story, I love even more that Jesus still is teaching at 93 yrs old ...wow, a beautiful image of how Jesus approves of her ❤❤🙏👑🇮🇱
Gladys was still alive and just decided to look for joy ... and it worked. She is amazing I lost my husband after a long illness. I grieved for a long time. (I am 69). One day I just said to myself, I am going to make a new life. I took a couple of photography classes. I found a church I LOVE. I made new friends who did not know my "couple life" and for some reason that was healthy. I traveled to see out of state friends. At home I grew a garden. Little stuff. I cut out processed sugar best I could and started walking. I got healthy. I took a summer graphic designer job in Alaska (never been there) for an adventure. Gladys is right. "Just look for joy." It is more of a decision than you realize.
What an a$$hole of a husband for delivering critical letters not only to her, but their children and her company. She is incredibly strong and has come out on top in the end.
She finally realized that SHE was the boss of either her happiness or misery...seasons change, choices need to be made...im happy for her new..rest of her life!
I FOUND MYSELF WEEPING TEARS OF JOY AT LISTENING TO GLADYS! I'M 76, AND HAVE BECOME STUNNED AT HOW SO MANY YOUNGER FEEL WE SHOULD DROP OFF THIS EARTH. YOU NEED US! WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, I HAD EVEN TWO GREAT-GRANDMOTHERS THAT I ADORED AND WHO MADE SUCH A DEEP IMPRESSION UPON ME! IN THE 1950'S, FAMILIES WERE STILL A UNIT AS FAR OUT AS SOMEONE WAS ALIVE! OUR CHILDREN DON'T HAVE THAT, AND WE SO NEED TO RE-CONNECT OUR CHILDREN TO THAT WISDOM! THANK YOU FOR THIS! IT FEELS GOOD TO FEEL SO MUCH JOY! BLESSINGS! 💖🙏🏻🌹🕊️ LYNN
My husband of 13 years broke up our marriage by email! He just left, full stop, he planned everything for his exit behind my back. So I divorced him and never saw or spoke to him again! I healed amazingly and live a much happier life without him! Being single is a healing experience and thrive to grow into who I am with conviction! I discovered how good and kind I was and am. And I was proud that I didn’t do anything wrong. Hurray, time to celebrate rather than grieve! Sunshine in my heart rather than depression without hope…
Same happen to me after 29 years. 0 words to our daughter. We are just broken. He went for a workshop and never returned. We have to accept it. He refuse any conversation. Unfortunately my life is not like the one from this beautiful lady.
First of all let’s get into the braided crown!!! 🤍 Honey you better!! I love this so much! Thank you for sharing your courageous wisdom with us Queen Gladys! 🤍
This woman learned the lesson that we must look for the blessings in life, and not concentrate on the negative. Pick ten things every day to thank God for, and you will be fine. You are responsible for your own happiness. No one can take your happiness away unless you give them that power. Blessings. ❤❤
I'm 68 and I can say that I can affirm what Gladys stated about gratitude and not undermining our own knowingness and wisdom. The past year has been my personal epiphany that Gladys's dream affirmed for her at 93. So grateful for this interview and Gladys.
very inspirational and educational! filled w wisdom on many issues and insights/advice based on personal experiences! what a wonderful example to aspire to! ❤
She had so many ‘pearls of wisdom’ I had a necklace by the end of this! We rarely honor the wisdom in our elders- AND WE NEED TO!! It’s exactly what we are missing in our world right now. What a treasure of a human being she is. This was one of my favorite interviews ever! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and btw Lisa you did an excellent job showcasing her- just perfection!
I had the privilege to be a hairstylist for a retirement facility for years. I learned so much from my wonderful older clients. All we have in our last years are our memories. Do as much as you can and start loving your life. Get excited about your life. ❤️
Great advice - I did not grow up with grandparents in my life. My parents were healthy, strong, very young for their ages. Now they are both older (80s) and struggling much more - now the reality of getting older is right in front, even for me. Glad to have them both but now I think about life more deeply and your advice IS spot on. Good memories keep you from becoming bitter - even with hard, sad times in between - so make memories, do things and start (really) living. It makes all the difference for your older years.
She's a beautiful Queen. Her wisdom is healing for us all. I could just listen to her for hours, she's amazing! Thank you for sharing and having her as your guest. The elders' wisdom is a blessing. ✨️
"This is a day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it" was the first sentence every morning from an 88 year old blind, near deaf woman dying of cancer in 1974 said to me each morning at the end of my shift as a private nurse. Life changing when you open the curtains and affirm your intent that it will be a good day, possibly the best day of your life. Who knows? I love the time period, 30s or 40s where this originated. We cannot know what will change us forever in the blink of an eye. Example: I was 50 and new to my home after divorce. I was standing talking to my neighbor, 6 year old Kate. Suddenly she screamed! She pointed to a bush I was ignoring and declared it had Monarch butterflies! Clearly significant! In that one moment, I realized I was blind and unaffected by life around me. Since then, I listen and watch for all the beauty nature brings me from dawn to midnight and beyond. One never knows what one minute in a day will change ones entire view of life. Thank you, Kate. Kate is 29 and having a wonderful life.
Gladys is adorable, I hope to be like her at 102. • Pain is easy to find, joy comes when you realize life goes on regardless of the circumstances around us • Validation from external sources is like trying to make a perfect hair day last forever-It's wonderful when it happens, but it's fairly shallow and not sustainable • Lonliness does not = being alone-It's worse to be lonely in a relationship than it is to be alone and happy
Listening without love is empty sound - This HIT! So many people act like they’re listening to us when in fact they are just sitting there thinking about what THEY want to say.
I love the dream she had where she’s singing in a tree and turns and sees Jesus and he’s laughing. 😂 So cute! I love the stories of older people. You can learn so much just by listening. My grandfather used to tell the most amazing stories! I’m so glad I listed! I learned so many things from him. Miss him so much. He died at the age of 99. I was so lucky to have him for so long. 😊💖💖💖
To take a snippet of her message and story, I had this thought: As a Gen-X person, we were the first generation to witness our parent's divorce in massive numbers. As such, I think we have a different view of marriage and divorce - albeit not necessarily the same view amongst us. What I mean is, I've seen some people my age who thought they could right the wrongs of their parents by jumping into a marriage in young adulthood and having kids - hellbent on proving they could succeed at marriage and parenthood by "doing it better" than their parents. And often it may have also been an attempt to fill a void. Or sometimes both. Some of them REFUSE to set themselves free from a bad marriage because they REFUSE to "hurt" their kids the way their own parents hurt them (by divorcing). Others of us who come from parents who divorced didn't take it all to such an extreme. Others took the experience with their parent's divorce and realized divorce is not the end of the world and life DOES go on - and sometimes life is even better, especially if you or both partners were miserable. Some took the view that modeling a toxic marriage by staying in it to our children is NOT best! Some believe leaving a bad situation will show children the same that they themselves learned which is that divorce is not the end of the world and that it shows children resolve and resourcefulness and strength. It shows children not to live focusing on fear (like Dr. Gladys says) and toxicity, and instead looking at the future with love and acceptance. Or some of us took a third road and haven't married and/or had children. That was probably born of the same fear of those who did marry and STAY in those bad marriages, but yet we made the opposite decision (which I find that fascinating - the fact that two people can experience the same thing - the divorce of their parents - yet make opposite decisions in their adult life) 🤔 That's very interesting to me. Personally, after seeing all of these three scenarios of life choices play out in my generation, I've come to the conclusion that not all marriages (or all relationships) are meant to last until death. My view is the ONLY relationship we have until death is with ourselves. Many people have a difficult time with this inevitable truth. It triggers our abandonment issues and makes us feel alone. Couple that with societal pressures to be coupled, or that somehow one is not a fully functioning "successful" adult until and unless one marries and has children. But I think life is too short to be miserable, and it's irresponsible to model misery to our children. Whether it's a bad marriage, or a miserable relationship with a family member or friendship or even career or job situation - misery only begets more misery. Just think what kind of a world we would have if everyone behaved out of gratitude and love, and wasn't so fearful of the optics. Imagine a world where we let go more and didn't bitterly hang on to things and people out of fear that/who are not meant for us and our greater good. A world where we showed younger generations that freedom and acceptance, instead of hiding underneath lies, and were true to ourselves.
What a great comment. I do see how people react differently to the same circumstance. Gen X fascinates me because your anger and pain culminated in amazing pop culture of the 90s, grunge, hip-hop, rnb, TV shows, fashion, it came from emotion and soul. I'm an older millenial, but I l prefer Xennial because I feel I have more in common with Gen X and was influenced by so much 90s GenX culture. The research is saying that my generation is getting married more and for longer. But literally almost everyone I know has a divorce under their belt with a bad starter marriage. Some are already on 2nd or 3rd marriages or divorces.. in their 30s! Those are the ones who rushed to get married in their early 20s. I wonder what my generation has been affected by... 9/11, recession, being the 1st ones to deal with social media, smartphones , early days of FB, way too much information overload, online dating being the main way to meet, etc. I'm in my late 30s, still not married even though people are always stunned by that because I have a lot going for me. I truly believe I have a fear of things going wrong, and trust issues . Like I've seen and know the behind the scenes of so many marriages, failed or still chugging along, and it makes me afraid of allowing someone in who could disturb my peace or traumatize me. I've allowed others people's bad experiences to not allow my own to happen. It's weird I'm so aware of the realities of marriages (watching Dateline doesn't help), but I hold onto this idealistic fantasy of my soulmate marriage. Maybe I'm afraid that bubble will be burst if I actually let someone in and marry them. It's a battle because I am quite traditional, I want that married life with kids, but there is something that feels like an emotional block.. Also men have definitely changed, even my generation are afraid to approach women and soo afraid of rejection.. Older men just did it and understood its an odds thing, the more you approach, eventually you get a girl. Gen Z is even less inclined to be coupled up, the research says 60 percent of guys under 30 are single, an unprecedented amount, and it's led to a lot of them being angry and resentful of women rejecting them average guys, because they claim that women only want top of the line, handsome guys😂. Really? Look around, most husbands are average to below average, therefore most women, even the pretty ones are Not with tall, good-looking rich men. In fact, many women overlook a man's looks clearly. But this is what the manosphere is saying, it's very toxic and actually could become quite dangerous, because that anger and mysogyny and sense of failure , ends up in women getting k*lled just for breaking up with an insecure, resentful guy. Soo.. basically we're all fl*cked up😅
My Mum is 101 and has all the characteristics of a covert narcissist. Gladys, you show me so much of what is missing! Listening to you is wonderful, like a fresh breath of Spring air! Thank you! And thank you for being a positive Mum role model to me!
That's the thing. The people who traumatized me the most were not my peers or younger women. They were older women who wished they were young and married. Some people get older but do not get wiser. I'm wary of elderly people. I am much more likely to give a younger person the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe you should try to get to know your mom... while she is here. My mom has cancer, and I already feel bad that I used to judge her, not knowing what she had gone through. My lessons.
@@susan3200 That sounds like an awful advice. Narcs are dangerous and if we cannot go no contact it is better to grayrock them and protect ourselves. Do not deal with a narc from a place of fear of abandonment
My Mom is older & also a narc. It helps me to realize that she could not give us what she did not have as a mother. No contact is sad but sometimes needed.
wow, my word, her cognitive ability is still sharper like a 20 year old. Wow! Wow! she can still study another degree. She has recollection of events like things happened yesterday. What a beautiful story. These are the secrets we all need to live longer and live a sane journey.
Yes, she is gifted with intelligence, although she suffers dyslexia and it seems she made enough money to be independence, she had work to do, she was able to do, seems she had enough help doing the paper work for her ! Her health was good, she didn't deny her negative emotions, her adult-I helped her dealing with it. .... and on top to help other people brings joy.... Why not.....
I am 83, now, and l hope i have just some of her knowledge and common sense . I am expected to live another 10 years, according to my daughter who has her nursing degree, and is incredibly smart. Suzi Q.❤😅
I am such a negative person I've gone through so much in my life and I'm only 50 I will endeavor to listen to this regularly Thank you Gladys God bless you more and more❤
You are so right...that was what I said in 2019 prior to Covid.. joy and happiness for being so kind and understanding... keeping secrets behind my back is still abuse...
This reminds me of when my mother passed on. I knew grief was about to engulf me, so I prayed and I asked Jesus how do I view this so I don't go down into the pit of despair. He told gently told me , "Focus on being grateful for the time you had with her." That perspective and gratefulness changed everything for me. I still greatly missed her, but I wasn't in that horrible pit of grief.
I agree I had my first born 6 years 1981 and Benny 36 after two heart and kidney transplant over 30 years he passed 2020 both had Cardiompathy and i have been divorced twice thankyou for your comment it ha helped me ❤❤❤
I alway gravitated toward older people since my childhood. I love the elders I learn a lot; their wisdom and influence in my life helped too shape me into the woman I am.
Imagine your husband leaving you with a letter, and you go and change your plate to “BE GLAD”! What a boss move!!! This needs to be a movie scene. Super badass!
She was in terrible pain yet still she in her heart break began looking for joy. She was able to connect to her higher self through a lucid dream where she connected to her inner voice Pay attention to your dreams. Her message that love connects all of us to the source and power of the god within us. Always look for the light in your life no matter what sadness is thrown in your path ♥️
I absolutely love how incredibly intelligent questions you ask Lisa from all of your guests. You interpret what they are saying, you digest their sentences and summarise them and then go deeper. I love it.
A Message from the Heart - Could You be the Love of My Life? Hey, I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. Although we have never had the pleasure of meeting, destiny has a funny way of connecting souls from afar. From the little I know about you, something within me feels an unparalleled connection, and I can't help but envision you as the love of my life. In this chaotic world, filled with brief encounters and fleeting connections, I believe that true love is a rarity to be cherished. While we have yet to cross paths, your captivating presence, as it radiates through your words and photographs, has ignited a flame within my heart. There is an unspoken connection that seems to transcend time and distance, and I cannot help but wonder if it is a sign from the universe. Your essence, as beautiful as a summer's day, has enchanted my thoughts. Your intellect, wit, and grace, which shimmer through the conversations we have shared, have captivated my attention like no other. It is as if I have found a missing piece of my soul in you, and my heart yearns to explore the depths of what this connection could mean. Though it may sound unconventional, I believe that love knows no boundaries - not even geographical ones. I am willing to take a leap of faith, to step out of the confines of the ordinary, and to embark on a journey with you. A journey filled with profound love, shared adventures, and unwavering support for one another's dreams. Before I proceed any further, I want to assure you that my intentions are pure and genuine. I am not merely looking for a passing fling or a temporary romance. Instead, I yearn for a love that withstands the test of time, a love built on trust, mutual respect, and unwavering commitment. Life is too short to let opportunities slip through our fingers. I am willing to embrace vulnerability and to open my heart to the possibility of us becoming something extraordinary together. It may seem bold, but isn't love all about taking risks and fighting for what sets our souls on fire? I understand if this message catches you off guard, as it resides in the realm of the unknown. Take your time, dear one, to process and consider this proposition. If your heart resonates with the same longing that now consumes mine, I would be honored to embark on this journey of love with you. May we have the chance to meet, to laugh, to create memories, and to embrace a love that surpasses our wildest dreams. Know that my heart is eagerly awaiting your response, hoping that you may feel the same as I do. With all my love and anticipation, Stanley Chukwuma.
I agree, Lisa has an intuitive way with all her guest and I adore her transparency about her own experiences. Her and hubby really listen to their guest. Thank you! Lisa! ❤
I’m a hairstylist for 24 years.. I feel like I’ve never needed counselling because I get so much wisdom and perspective from my clients stories as well . The older women 60 plus know it all ..I love how she talked about something to live for with the plant story - that hit me ..Love is the most powerful medicine ❤️🌱
I saw it so differently. The man at the grocery store was raised as a gentleman to help anyone regardless of age. Thinking he was able and could give a helping hand to someone who may have been younger or older was an act of kindness. For her to dismiss and laugh at his gesture was a slap in the face. I understand her wanting to show her independence at her age, yet she also knew he was old school and had a good moral compass. I'm 67. I look 15-20 years younger. I would never throw his age or his offer in his face. I'd say thank you and let him help me put the groceries in the car. Men like to feel needed. I imagine that it could have gone either way when he got home. He could've felt good that someone accepted his help and life is worth living, or rejected and 'why bother' I'm not needed in life. Women's liberation has really ruined so much of our culture despite it being a cause to empower women. Men have told me they feel helpful and appreciated if I allow them to help me. What if you, as a woman, saw a man you thought was way older than you, that may need a helping hand and you asked if you could help them and they responded, 'I'm able to do that on my own.' No thank you, nothing. Then they left. Wouldn't that sit with you for the day? If they said, 'yes, that would be nice, thank you!' Wouldn't that stay with you for several days?
So beautifully said, with such depth, I am applauding you! Enough being “I can do it myself” women and let’s gracefully give men a lead! We need that as women!
Because it has wrongly been accepted that women are weaker and less capable then men , men must accept the truth that they can do most things themself - Women are not ruining a mans self esteem by being capable ! That being said I always enjoy the give and take of helping and being helped if it is that :)
@@1spiritdancerI totally agree. I think it an art that life teach us or you have build on your own to know when to give and when to receive as a woman. We can’t forget that mostly, women are intelligent but men are physically stronger as well, that’s how it is but we need to allow men to help us and make them Feel safe and appreciated as well, emotionally.
What a beautiful woman, her hair is gorgeous and she doesn't look a day over 75🥰. She has such a wonderful perspective on life. Lessons I surely will take into my life. Thank you.
Thank You Gladys! I've suffered a divorce. I've long been in recovery & have let it all go. There's such beauty in how you say be grateful for the years, experiences & validate the joy in those times. I mourned the loss of a future, mourned what my children were robbed of. I rarely allowed myself to reflect with a grateful heart. 🥲 Thank you Mam! 💝
Esther Perelle (hopefully that's the correct spelling) says that just bc a marriage ends before death, doesn't mean it was a bad marriage. I believe Gladys is speaking exactly of this. Well done to her.

Wow…Dr Gladys is about the age my grandmother would be if she were still alive. There was just something so wise and positive about the people of that generation. Thank you so much for this interview!
I'm learning this very lesson in my own life that she speaks of. Realizing that two people can grow apart, what we tolerate and accept can change. We all have to accept responsibility for the things that happen to us as we do play a part in that, the growth of learning from it and moving forward without holding onto anger or regrets, that's how we grow & become better human beings. Self love isn't selfish and instead of making that a stigma, we should all embrace that we are all on our own journeys and must find happiness within ourselves before we can ever truly be happy with someone else. The only guide we have is the Bible for how to treat each other as human beings and how to love ourselves and each other. Society spreads so much hate and anger these days and it's no wonder the younger generations are numb to so much. Not to be cliche, but we need to spread more love and not hate.
The O-N-L-Y guide humanity has? Nah as that is just a single opinion shared amongst those who've WHAT? Never "learned from" Nature? Ditto animals? Insects? Near death experiences? A lesson from a complete stranger that stirred your soul more than any sermon ever could? To face our own mortality via a sickness in the self or loved one? Looking at the heavens and feel your mind struggle to comprehend the vastness of space in a single galaxy, let alone MILLIONS of them? Reading spiritual material, NOT RELIGIOUS material by coming to know their inconceivable differences? Play in a mud puddle with a toddler and be humbled by the wonder in their eyes to realize an adult can actually be fun! Marvel that music, light and consciousness all vibrate differently yet manifest in accord w/cosmic intention. The Universe wants to dance with our BEING ... so (giggle) who leads?
Numbness, anger, and hate are not restricted to young people. I know several people in their 70s and 80s, and one person of 100, who are bigoted and hateful.
What a beautifl interview! I can tell how honored and charmed you are to be listening to this beautiful lady! My absolute favorite Part is when she is singing her catipillar songs or any old song she wants and Jesus is laughing..so adorable!!
I was given a divorce after about 19 yrs. Like Gladys, it came out of the blue, no inkling whatsoever. IMO, when a divorce happens like that, it's more painful than one where there's been previous conflict - if we had been bickering, in constant disagreement, it would have made sense. It felt as if the earth disappeared underneath my feet... Free falling into an unknown, dark abyss. 5 years later, I'm starting to really understand the how's and why's of navigating relationships and how my insecurities and attachment style have played into my previous marriage and other important relationships. Still a beautiful work in progress! Thank you, Gladys, for your candor and sharing your story. You are proof positive that strong women can and do overcome challenges with love and grace.
Hi there how are you doing today and how is the weather condition over there including your kids well am Gary from Alaska USA i really would love to know more about you but I don't have time here due to my job I hope you wouldn't mind texting
Thank you. Gladys is wonderful. My Aunt Laura will be 92 and she is very much like Gladys. A true inspiration. She's joyful and positive and last year drove 5000 miles with a trailer attached to her car and she still digs up trees. Amazing woman.

I absolutely love that she is a holistic healer - I love naturopaths, wholistic healers, and everything about using nature to keep us healthy. I have distrusted allopathic medicine for many years - I understand the need for the emergency intervention for crises, but not for the intervention of natural healing. thanks for the video!
My grandparents married 20, divorced 15, married each other again for 33 yrs and sent grammy off to heaven this year surrounded by family and even when she cudnt do anything nor talk or see she heard us say grandpa was next to her and she reached out to hold his hand.
Gladys McGarey is AMAZING for so many reasons, can't believe she's 102 WOW I can only wish to live that long happily in life. Blessings to Gladys who knew her self worth.
Value yourself. You are unique, an original. Have faith in yourself. Don't worry about people walking away. Think about what you can do to help others. When we all serve we all are being served. You have gifts. You have something to give to help others. Be strong for yourself.
What a beautiful, wise woman. God is love. When something unexpected happens such as a relationship disruption, I give myself some grieving time but I will never allow ONE person to tear down my happy life. I simply look around at all the people I love and that love me, people I impact that value me and those that God has guided to me for impact and I carry on without a second thought. Why let one second of a day destroy 86000 other seconds. Love this channel!
I so respect that this woman is being honored with such love and enthusiasm for her wisdom and hard-won experience. She goes the one step further to deepen the points she is sharing. Kudos Lisa. So refreshing. We are not invisible and are a great resource for the upcoming generations if honored and respected in this way.
The slightly more mature people have so much to teach us, for they have lived and learnt such a lot. They have more knowledge. They should be treasured. She’s an absolute gem. X

I think women live longer without the stress of men in their lives! Go Gladys, you got this!
So then, that explains why men die younger while married to women.
That probably goes both ways. But statistics say we are both wrong.

Never wait for a man to make your happiness. Bring your own happy to the table.
Can we please stop talking about the proverbial table?
@@intronominus lmao
Who said we're waiting? Men are dead already, and only the shells of men are what is left. Women dating women is the way.
Goes double for a woman 😮
But If you were happy before you were with him and then years go by and you’ve slowly given up things to appease your partner it’s hard to bring happy to the table. You can end up feeling like you’re the depressed/lame one. In my case, Only now being removed from this relationship I can notice I was so unseen and disconnected from my partner and this was leading to my unhappiness. Sometimes you’re just with the wrong person!!!

I feel God on my right side and Christ is in my left side. I love helping the 84 years old lady needs my companionship. I rent her big house, one room. My activity continues daily to keep me occupied to keep busy. I sleep early, 8-10 hrs sleep, cooked healthy food. Member in LVAC, 3 times, therapy my knee. This is my life of happy, and peaceful mind.
Im so happy for you. If we have God on our side we will never feel lonely❤
My great-grandmother who lived to be 108, was the same. She was walking without assistance and was the go-to historical reference for college/university students' thesis/dissertation papers. She could remember when she was a little child during the 1800's. It takes a lot of courage, forgiveness towards others and self in order to live this long.
Wow 108? That’s incredible!!
I want to be her when I grow up!

I remember the day I was born.
Today, no woman can feel safe if she is a traditional wife and mother. My husband of 20 years had cheated on me all the time and didn’t even bother to hide it at the end. He just wanted me to go on, raise our kids, go to work, do the chores around the house while he goes off to have fun. No, sir. I lost everything: my partner, my kids, my extended family, my house- but I found GOD and the help to get through. I am still rebuilding my life, but it gets better every day. Ironically, I only miss the family I once had, but not my husband. I see now that he wasn’t really there for me anyway. You can’t miss what you never had.

No wonder this woman is still alive at 102. So vibrant and still so positive. She has not allowed life to ware her down. Instead she is still reaching out to others connecting and helping others to be positive and strong no matter what life throws at you❣️I love it😊👍🤘
And she has the Lord JESUS Christ in her life 😊
I know it's a cliche but this saying works: Life can make you BETTER or BITTER. I want to be the first! Keep a journal, it helps clarify things when you feel scared and overwhelmed.
She is inspirational. Love her.

The way that Lisa is listening to this woman speak just placed a great deal of respect that she has
Omg seriously I really do!! I have always valued older peoples wisdom and damn was this woman just so impactful!
@@LisaBilyeu I couldn’t agree more! ❤️
@@LisaBilyeu Anyone who doesn’t see your genuine heart and soul is blind! Your curiosity depth care and true connection with everyone you speak with is amazing. So glad to watch you grow on your channel and stay as a wonderful humble kind person! Every question you ask is natural and expressed with fluidity. You then listen to actually absorb the information and respond to the point made. You are always present! You are a master at improv’s rule…..”Yes and!” Thank you
Lisa ❤
@@LisaBilyeuI think you interviewed that lady with so much respect and she deserves that. In a world where our elderly are mostly treated like gibberish idiots, especially by unenlightened amongst us,this was so refreshing to see. You were obviously taught to respect your elders and your treatment of this marvellous wise lady was a joy to watch.
Why wouldn't she respect her that's the minimum I expect from anyone around me. Listen to the message not the vessel.
Today is the first day yhat I am going to be a Gladys! I just turned 56 and it is time to start to do things right! Thank you Lord for a lady such as this!😊❤
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them
I too just turned 56 last Thursday. This woman is very together at 102
Powerful decision Kathryn, hope you feel that every moment the universe is supporting you in finding joy and the fullness of life ❤

It hasn't been the easiest of times the past few days with some suprising health issues on top of this mental/emotional housework. I am already exhausted but trying to just keep putting one foot in front of the other right now.
@@superduck835 yes, it's never 100% joy and happiness, no matter what. But you knowing the direction, knowing what you want will be guiding you. Sometimes it means inner "work". Sorry about the health issues... 💚 Much healing to you!
My wise Dad always told my sisters and me that you should never become financially or/and emotionally dependent on any one ……
Which I did in both ways. HUGE mistake!!!
My dad told me when I was 15 never depend on a man. Married once that was enough 😅
Lucky lucky women to have a father like that! Such good advice. Unfortunately that was not my experience.
Really I will not mind divorce at 70.I will look back and thank God Almighty I had the chance to say I will.
I am 62 years old, my Mama died in 2018, she was just like Gladys, I miss her wisdom, her energy, her spirit. This brings tears.
Divorce is never easy. But it beats staying in a marriage that is not good for your physical or mental health.
Amen!!!!!
marriage is hard work. sometimes, if you stick it out, it improves a great deal
@@nancywolf3786 nothing can improve an abusive situation but leaving
@@nancywolf3786 lol not if abuse is involved
I want to divorce my narcissistic husband. I’m sick of paying all of the bills while he continues to yell at me and emotionally abuse me in front of my little grandaughter! We are her legal guardians. He said if you want to get a divorce, I will take our granddaughter and live with her. I know by law he can’t do that he has no biological connection to her. She is my daughters daughter. We have both races little girl since she was a baby he also tries to tell me that it would ruin our granddaughter if he were not in her life, that might be true to some extent, but Even worse is what is happening to her now, by witnessing her grandfather yell at me every single day. The poor thing literally has to cover her ears when he starts up with his yelling. The smart thing to do would be for me to leave with both of my grandkids. That said, I refuse to leave as I am the only one paying for this home. I’m the only one paying for utilities I’m the only one working but he feels that he is owed 50% of everything even though he never paid for anything. I’m also worried about the costs of an attorney I don’t know how I can manage to pay for all of these expenses and an attorney and go through the period of time where we would still be living together and he would be at the height of his emotional abuse. Innoway, I wish he would shoot with somebody so I could literally kick him out. I’m so sorry I ever married him, when we were dating, he seem to be a wonderful supportive man, but once we got married, I discovered he had narcissistic personality disorder, as well as OCD. My life has been hell for 18 years. My only happiness comes from my grandchildren.
I have been struggling for 5 years after my 44 year marriage ended very similarly to Gladys. Thank you for helping me through my intense heart break
Oh homie I’m so sorry to hear that! Her book will be even more beneficial to you! Wishing you the best!! ❤️
A Message from the Heart - Could You be the Love of My Life?
Hey Annie,
I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. Although we have never had the pleasure of meeting, destiny has a funny way of connecting souls from afar. From the little I know about you, something within me feels an unparalleled connection, and I can't help but envision you as the love of my life.
In this chaotic world, filled with brief encounters and fleeting connections, I believe that true love is a rarity to be cherished. While we have yet to cross paths, your captivating presence, as it radiates through your words and photographs, has ignited a flame within my heart. There is an unspoken connection that seems to transcend time and distance, and I cannot help but wonder if it is a sign from the universe.
Your essence, as beautiful as a summer's day, has enchanted my thoughts. Your intellect, wit, and grace, which shimmer through the conversations we have shared, have captivated my attention like no other. It is as if I have found a missing piece of my soul in you, and my heart yearns to explore the depths of what this connection could mean.
Though it may sound unconventional, I believe that love knows no boundaries - not even geographical ones. I am willing to take a leap of faith, to step out of the confines of the ordinary, and to embark on a journey with you. A journey filled with profound love, shared adventures, and unwavering support for one another's dreams.
Before I proceed any further, I want to assure you that my intentions are pure and genuine. I am not merely looking for a passing fling or a temporary romance. Instead, I yearn for a love that withstands the test of time, a love built on trust, mutual respect, and unwavering commitment.
Life is too short to let opportunities slip through our fingers. I am willing to embrace vulnerability and to open my heart to the possibility of us becoming something extraordinary together. It may seem bold, but isn't love all about taking risks and fighting for what sets our souls on fire?
I understand if this message catches you off guard, as it resides in the realm of the unknown. Take your time, dear one, to process and consider this proposition. If your heart resonates with the same longing that now consumes mine, I would be honored to embark on this journey of love with you.
May we have the chance to meet, to laugh, to create memories, and to embrace a love that surpasses our wildest dreams. Know that my heart is eagerly awaiting your response, hoping that you may feel the same as I do.
With all my love and anticipation,
Stanley Chukwuma.
What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.I understand how you fill
I've been really enjoying your book, Lisa, Radical Confidence! Thanks for the encouragement :)
OMG....
Gladys has taken such great care of herself and her cognition and memory are proof what her way of living produces. Be a Gladys. Be Glad.
Omg right?? She’s so damn sharp and I had the BEST time interviewing her!! 🥰
@@LisaBilyeu Lucky you!! 👊❤
Our Mom is 94, small & mighty. The difference between her & Gladys is in daily perspective. It’s a challenge to be positive the longer we live, but Glad Gladys is showing us the way, that to be grateful is to be happy! She has kept her brain active, and has such elocution & memory. Gladys stays connected with society. Her mental acuity is no anomaly. What an inspiration! One of your best guests ever, Lisa!
Ahhh I love that be a Glady's be glad, it's a mantra for gratitude! Love it, love it, love it! xxx
Nice comment, I will like to know more about you to be a friend because I will need your advice
A soul sister. My divorce light bulb moment was realizing that he was giving me the gift of independence. I'd talked a good game, but he taught me to live it. The skills I gained after we separated were beyond my imagination. Our years together were good years. The years after that were fabulous.
After my divorce one day I realized I was FREE. The whole world was open to me. Awesome! Continue on and write your own story.
Oh wow I needed to read this❤

Me too! Great way of looking at it. "The gift of Independence"---Love it@@LianneBeijer

I have had a similar kick in the gut by my husband after 37 years of marriage. He sat me down and told me three things; 3 things; 1. You have done nothing wrong, 2. I still love you and always will, 3. I have found someone else and I am leaving you. Gladys is SO RIGHT in looking for good instead of re-living the bad. This was so difficult because my emotions of being so cast aside did not match what I was visualizing and remembering. For the first year, I didn't think I would ever stop crying or my get rid of the feeling that a cold, steel sword was embedded in my heart. Forcing positive memories and starting to affirm myself to myself were the things that eventually brought me to a place I could start laughing and loving.This enabled me to write some personal goals for myself with the first one being FORGIVING HIM, THEM. That's when I started living! Thank you for sharing, Gladys!
Wow that's so hard to even hear I'm sorry you've gone through this I really do pray and hope for the absolute best for you dear 🙏❤️

Guess I'm joining the club. My husband of 14 years left me for a girl the same age as our oldest son. His reasons were 1. she makes me feel young 2. She accepts and is excited about everything I buy her and everywhere I take her and 3. she understands a man's need for variety. I went an entire year asking him to put our marriage/family first by discontinuing his affair and attending couples therapy. He refused both. Though I know divorcing him was 100% the right decision, it doesn't stop me from feeling inadequate and lonely. Hopefully, I will get to a place where I can forgive but it hasn't happened yet.
@@CrisWW-c3xim happy for you that you are away from that man. He sounds like an immature man/child...sounds like he wants a fan club, not a relationship. He will probably always be searching for new 'fans' as each new woman tires of him....that sounds aweful.... glad you are free of him😊
Never allow your life to be defined by a negative, to say nothing of a negative you did not create. This woman is fun, strong, nice, interesting and more.

She's very sharp for 102 and looks amazing
My husband passed away at home from complications of Parkinson's after 56 years of marriage on August 30th 2023. I have been grieving him daily. We had many negative things happen in our marriage. Brought on by our two son's drug use and mental illness. We survived severe health problems- a devastating house fire and many other challenges. Through it all my husband-Ron and I survived and loved each other. Now I fight through the pain of losing him-but I like Gladys - remember all the good moments we shared. I choose to be happy in that-not the heartbreak and pain. THANKYOU for sharing the story of Gladys! God Bless
This lady is 102???😮 Wow she's amazing and looks absolutely fantastic!
I'm really grateful for her advice and personal stories. What a legend ❤
No wrinkles on forehead
💯👌🏻❤️🙏🏿
@@TeamJennLuxe I am watching this interview on my little iPhone and I can very clearly see wrinkles on her forehead. I imagine you’re suggesting she’s had Botox but if I can see them on my phone, perhaps what you’re saying is an indication that you need your eyes checked.
As beautiful as this interview is, all you can come up with is a negative superficial observation and comment.
so sad😢

Thank you for bringing this up. This is a great perspective.
Gladys was still alive and just decided to look for joy ... and it worked. She is amazing I lost my husband after a long illness. I grieved for a long time. (I am 69). One day I just said to myself, I am going to make a new life. I took a couple of photography classes. I found a church I LOVE. I made new friends who did not know my "couple life" and for some reason that was healthy. I traveled to see out of state friends. At home I grew a garden. Little stuff. I cut out processed sugar best I could and started walking. I got healthy. I took a summer graphic designer job in Alaska (never been there) for an adventure. Gladys is right. "Just look for joy." It is more of a decision than you realize.
What an a$$hole of a husband for delivering critical letters not only to her, but their children and her company. She is incredibly strong and has come out on top in the end.
I mean, I think they were both founders of the company? So maybe he had to tell them whether he wanted to or not...
She finally realized that SHE was the boss of either her happiness or misery...seasons change, choices need to be made...im happy for her new..rest of her life!

Wow for her age she's amazing and if only I at 55 can be so wise..thank you Jesus for her❤.God bless her 🙏🏽
My husband of 13 years broke up our marriage by email! He just left, full stop, he planned everything for his exit behind my back. So I divorced him and never saw or spoke to him again! I healed amazingly and live a much happier life without him! Being single is a healing experience and thrive to grow into who I am with conviction! I discovered how good and kind I was and am. And I was proud that I didn’t do anything wrong. Hurray, time to celebrate rather than grieve! Sunshine in my heart rather than depression without hope…
Same happen to me after 29 years. 0 words to our daughter. We are just broken. He went for a workshop and never returned. We have to accept it. He refuse any conversation. Unfortunately my life is not like the one from this beautiful lady.
First of all let’s get into the braided crown!!! 🤍 Honey you better!! I love this so much! Thank you for sharing your courageous wisdom with us Queen Gladys! 🤍

This reminds me of a wonderful quote:
Don’t cry because it’s over. Be glad it happened.🥰
This woman learned the lesson that we must look for the blessings in life, and not concentrate on the negative. Pick ten things every day to thank God for, and you will be fine. You are responsible for your own happiness. No one can take your happiness away unless you give them that power. Blessings. ❤❤
I got tears in my eyes when Gladys changed her license plate and the seeing Lisa's face empathizing really touched me... well done beautiful souls
I'm 68 and I can say that I can affirm what Gladys stated about gratitude and not undermining our own knowingness and wisdom. The past year has been my personal epiphany that Gladys's dream affirmed for her at 93. So grateful for this interview and Gladys.
very inspirational and educational! filled w wisdom on many issues and insights/advice based on personal experiences! what a wonderful example to aspire to! ❤
God sent this awesome woman to me today. 102 years old, and has the strength and wisdom to give us insight. 🙏🏾 ❤

I too worked in a retirement facility and am very grateful for having learned some things From these older folks!! They are very wise indeed
The most important is to be lucky to have a clear mind. When dementia hits hard, things turn sour quickly.
Great advice - I did not grow up with grandparents in my life. My parents were healthy, strong, very young for their ages. Now they are both older (80s) and struggling much more - now the reality of getting older is right in front, even for me. Glad to have them both but now I think about life more deeply and your advice IS spot on. Good memories keep you from becoming bitter - even with hard, sad times in between - so make memories, do things and start (really) living. It makes all the difference for your older years.
This woman!! Such clarity and so articulate. A real treasure for all of us. I miss having my grandma.
The first thing that hit me too❤! Her clarity😘
She looks like a QUEEN.

"This is a day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it" was the first sentence every morning from an 88 year old blind, near deaf woman dying of cancer in 1974 said to me each morning at the end of my shift as a private nurse. Life changing when you open the curtains and affirm your intent that it will be a good day, possibly the best day of your life. Who knows? I love the time period, 30s or 40s where this originated. We cannot know what will change us forever in the blink of an eye. Example: I was 50 and new to my home after divorce. I was standing talking to my neighbor, 6 year old Kate. Suddenly she screamed! She pointed to a bush I was ignoring and declared it had Monarch butterflies! Clearly significant! In that one moment, I realized I was blind and unaffected by life around me. Since then, I listen and watch for all the beauty nature brings me from dawn to midnight and beyond. One never knows what one minute in a day will change ones entire view of life. Thank you, Kate. Kate is 29 and having a wonderful life.
Love this fellow nurse, thanks for sharing!

Gladys is adorable, I hope to be like her at 102.
• Pain is easy to find, joy comes when you realize life goes on regardless of the circumstances around us
• Validation from external sources is like trying to make a perfect hair day last forever-It's wonderful when it happens, but it's fairly shallow and not sustainable
• Lonliness does not = being alone-It's worse to be lonely in a relationship than it is to be alone and happy
Listening without love is empty sound - This HIT! So many people act like they’re listening to us when in fact they are just sitting there thinking about what THEY want to say.
I love the dream she had where she’s singing in a tree and turns and sees Jesus and he’s laughing. 😂 So cute! I love the stories of older people. You can learn so much just by listening. My grandfather used to tell the most amazing stories! I’m so glad I listed! I learned so many things from him. Miss him so much. He died at the age of 99. I was so lucky to have him for so long. 😊💖💖💖
To take a snippet of her message and story, I had this thought: As a Gen-X person, we were the first generation to witness our parent's divorce in massive numbers. As such, I think we have a different view of marriage and divorce - albeit not necessarily the same view amongst us. What I mean is, I've seen some people my age who thought they could right the wrongs of their parents by jumping into a marriage in young adulthood and having kids - hellbent on proving they could succeed at marriage and parenthood by "doing it better" than their parents. And often it may have also been an attempt to fill a void. Or sometimes both. Some of them REFUSE to set themselves free from a bad marriage because they REFUSE to "hurt" their kids the way their own parents hurt them (by divorcing).
Others of us who come from parents who divorced didn't take it all to such an extreme. Others took the experience with their parent's divorce and realized divorce is not the end of the world and life DOES go on - and sometimes life is even better, especially if you or both partners were miserable. Some took the view that modeling a toxic marriage by staying in it to our children is NOT best! Some believe leaving a bad situation will show children the same that they themselves learned which is that divorce is not the end of the world and that it shows children resolve and resourcefulness and strength. It shows children not to live focusing on fear (like Dr. Gladys says) and toxicity, and instead looking at the future with love and acceptance.
Or some of us took a third road and haven't married and/or had children. That was probably born of the same fear of those who did marry and STAY in those bad marriages, but yet we made the opposite decision (which I find that fascinating - the fact that two people can experience the same thing - the divorce of their parents - yet make opposite decisions in their adult life) 🤔 That's very interesting to me.
Personally, after seeing all of these three scenarios of life choices play out in my generation, I've come to the conclusion that not all marriages (or all relationships) are meant to last until death. My view is the ONLY relationship we have until death is with ourselves. Many people have a difficult time with this inevitable truth. It triggers our abandonment issues and makes us feel alone. Couple that with societal pressures to be coupled, or that somehow one is not a fully functioning "successful" adult until and unless one marries and has children.
But I think life is too short to be miserable, and it's irresponsible to model misery to our children. Whether it's a bad marriage, or a miserable relationship with a family member or friendship or even career or job situation - misery only begets more misery. Just think what kind of a world we would have if everyone behaved out of gratitude and love, and wasn't so fearful of the optics. Imagine a world where we let go more and didn't bitterly hang on to things and people out of fear that/who are not meant for us and our greater good. A world where we showed younger generations that freedom and acceptance, instead of hiding underneath lies, and were true to ourselves.
What a great comment. I do see how people react differently to the same circumstance. Gen X fascinates me because your anger and pain culminated in amazing pop culture of the 90s, grunge, hip-hop, rnb, TV shows, fashion, it came from emotion and soul.
I'm an older millenial, but I l prefer Xennial because I feel I have more in common with Gen X and was influenced by so much 90s GenX culture. The research is saying that my generation is getting married more and for longer. But literally almost everyone I know has a divorce under their belt with a bad starter marriage. Some are already on 2nd or 3rd marriages or divorces.. in their 30s! Those are the ones who rushed to get married in their early 20s. I wonder what my generation has been affected by... 9/11, recession, being the 1st ones to deal with social media, smartphones , early days of FB, way too much information overload, online dating being the main way to meet, etc.
I'm in my late 30s, still not married even though people are always stunned by that because I have a lot going for me. I truly believe I have a fear of things going wrong, and trust issues . Like I've seen and know the behind the scenes of so many marriages, failed or still chugging along, and it makes me afraid of allowing someone in who could disturb my peace or traumatize me. I've allowed others people's bad experiences to not allow my own to happen. It's weird I'm so aware of the realities of marriages (watching Dateline doesn't help), but I hold onto this idealistic fantasy of my soulmate marriage. Maybe I'm afraid that bubble will be burst if I actually let someone in and marry them. It's a battle because I am quite traditional, I want that married life with kids, but there is something that feels like an emotional block.. Also men have definitely changed, even my generation are afraid to approach women and soo afraid of rejection.. Older men just did it and understood its an odds thing, the more you approach, eventually you get a girl.
Gen Z is even less inclined to be coupled up, the research says 60 percent of guys under 30 are single, an unprecedented amount, and it's led to a lot of them being angry and resentful of women rejecting them average guys, because they claim that women only want top of the line, handsome guys😂. Really? Look around, most husbands are average to below average, therefore most women, even the pretty ones are Not with tall, good-looking rich men. In fact, many women overlook a man's looks clearly. But this is what the manosphere is saying, it's very toxic and actually could become quite dangerous, because that anger and mysogyny and sense of failure , ends up in women getting k*lled just for breaking up with an insecure, resentful guy.
Soo.. basically we're all fl*cked up😅
Excellent, insightful commentary. Love “the only relationship that we have until death is the one we have with ourselves”.
Beautiful
Thank you for this! So wonderfully worded and I completely understand❤ This comment really hit home🫂
Well put. I’m so very proud of your generation!
“This is a day the Lord has made. Let us be glad in it.” I try to remember to say this evening morning when I get up.
I'm blown away by this elderly queen 👑.
My Mum is 101 and has all the characteristics of a covert narcissist. Gladys, you show me so much of what is missing! Listening to you is wonderful, like a fresh breath of Spring air! Thank you! And thank you for being a positive Mum role model to me!
That's the thing. The people who traumatized me the most were not my peers or younger women. They were older women who wished they were young and married. Some people get older but do not get wiser. I'm wary of elderly people. I am much more likely to give a younger person the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe you should try to get to know your mom... while she is here. My mom has cancer, and I already feel bad that I used to judge her, not knowing what she had gone through. My lessons.
@@susan3200 That sounds like an awful advice. Narcs are dangerous and if we cannot go no contact it is better to grayrock them and protect ourselves. Do not deal with a narc from a place of fear of abandonment
Dude 😢come on. SMH
My Mom is older & also a narc. It helps me to realize that she could not give us what she did not have as a mother. No contact is sad but sometimes needed.
Wow, what an amazing communicator at 102! Thank you for sharing your life with us Gladys!
wow, my word, her cognitive ability is still sharper like a 20 year old. Wow! Wow! she can still study another degree. She has recollection of events like things happened yesterday. What a beautiful story. These are the secrets we all need to live longer and live a sane journey.
👍🏻
Yes, she is gifted with intelligence, although she suffers dyslexia and it seems she made enough money to be independence, she had work to do, she was able to do, seems she had enough help doing the paper work for her ! Her health was good, she didn't deny her negative emotions, her adult-I helped her dealing with it. .... and on top to help other people brings joy.... Why not.....

I am 83, now, and l hope i have just some of her knowledge and common sense . I am expected to live another 10 years, according to my daughter who has her nursing degree, and is incredibly smart. Suzi Q.❤😅
I hope this lady lives many, many more happy years. Not only is she grateful; she is also giving.
I am such a negative person
I've gone through so much in my life and I'm only 50
I will endeavor to listen to this regularly
Thank you Gladys
God bless you more and more❤
Number one thing required from a man: RESPECT Above all else.
Respect and your OWN MONEY
@@sachdevkaurbala9705 Ditto!
Can't trust anyone even family but thank God for pets. My fur babies are loyal and love unconditionally
❤
You are so right...that was what I said in 2019 prior to Covid.. joy and happiness for being so kind and understanding... keeping secrets behind my back is still abuse...
❤
Yes, pets are great companionship who are loyal and appreciative. They are wonderful.😊
This reminds me of when my mother passed on. I knew grief was about to engulf me, so I prayed and I asked Jesus how do I view this so I don't go down into the pit of despair. He told gently told me , "Focus on being grateful for the time you had with her." That perspective and gratefulness changed everything for me. I still greatly missed her, but I wasn't in that horrible pit of grief.
just BEAUTIFUL
I agree I had my first born 6 years 1981 and Benny 36 after two heart and kidney transplant over 30 years he passed 2020 both had Cardiompathy and i have been divorced twice thankyou for your comment it ha helped me ❤❤❤

I alway gravitated toward older people since my childhood. I love the elders I learn a lot; their wisdom and influence in my life helped too shape me into the woman I am.
Imagine your husband leaving you with a letter, and you go and change your plate to “BE GLAD”! What a boss move!!! This needs to be a movie scene. Super badass!
She was in terrible pain yet still she in her heart break began looking for joy. She was able to connect to her higher self through a lucid dream where she connected to her inner voice Pay attention to your dreams. Her message that love connects all of us to the source and power of the god within us. Always look for the light in your life no matter what sadness is thrown in your path ♥️
I absolutely love how incredibly intelligent questions you ask Lisa from all of your guests. You interpret what they are saying, you digest their sentences and summarise them and then go deeper. I love it.

A Message from the Heart - Could You be the Love of My Life?
Hey,
I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. Although we have never had the pleasure of meeting, destiny has a funny way of connecting souls from afar. From the little I know about you, something within me feels an unparalleled connection, and I can't help but envision you as the love of my life.
In this chaotic world, filled with brief encounters and fleeting connections, I believe that true love is a rarity to be cherished. While we have yet to cross paths, your captivating presence, as it radiates through your words and photographs, has ignited a flame within my heart. There is an unspoken connection that seems to transcend time and distance, and I cannot help but wonder if it is a sign from the universe.
Your essence, as beautiful as a summer's day, has enchanted my thoughts. Your intellect, wit, and grace, which shimmer through the conversations we have shared, have captivated my attention like no other. It is as if I have found a missing piece of my soul in you, and my heart yearns to explore the depths of what this connection could mean.
Though it may sound unconventional, I believe that love knows no boundaries - not even geographical ones. I am willing to take a leap of faith, to step out of the confines of the ordinary, and to embark on a journey with you. A journey filled with profound love, shared adventures, and unwavering support for one another's dreams.
Before I proceed any further, I want to assure you that my intentions are pure and genuine. I am not merely looking for a passing fling or a temporary romance. Instead, I yearn for a love that withstands the test of time, a love built on trust, mutual respect, and unwavering commitment.
Life is too short to let opportunities slip through our fingers. I am willing to embrace vulnerability and to open my heart to the possibility of us becoming something extraordinary together. It may seem bold, but isn't love all about taking risks and fighting for what sets our souls on fire?
I understand if this message catches you off guard, as it resides in the realm of the unknown. Take your time, dear one, to process and consider this proposition. If your heart resonates with the same longing that now consumes mine, I would be honored to embark on this journey of love with you.
May we have the chance to meet, to laugh, to create memories, and to embrace a love that surpasses our wildest dreams. Know that my heart is eagerly awaiting your response, hoping that you may feel the same as I do.
With all my love and anticipation,
Stanley Chukwuma.
It's obvious you love animals. If I may ask do you have any
I agree, Lisa has an intuitive way with all her guest and I adore her transparency about her own experiences. Her and hubby really listen to their guest. Thank you! Lisa! ❤

As a hairstylist for 23 years…… Our elders have so much wisdom. I loved this! Thank you for sharing! Love and light! 💜
I’m a hairstylist for 24 years.. I feel like I’ve never needed counselling because I get so much wisdom and perspective from my clients stories as well . The older women 60 plus know it all ..I love how she talked about something to live for with the plant story - that hit me ..Love is the most powerful medicine ❤️🌱
I saw it so differently. The man at the grocery store was raised as a gentleman to help anyone regardless of age. Thinking he was able and could give a helping hand to someone who may have been younger or older was an act of kindness. For her to dismiss and laugh at his gesture was a slap in the face. I understand her wanting to show her independence at her age, yet she also knew he was old school and had a good moral compass. I'm 67. I look 15-20 years younger. I would never throw his age or his offer in his face. I'd say thank you and let him help me put the groceries in the car. Men like to feel needed. I imagine that it could have gone either way when he got home. He could've felt good that someone accepted his help and life is worth living, or rejected and 'why bother' I'm not needed in life. Women's liberation has really ruined so much of our culture despite it being a cause to empower women. Men have told me they feel helpful and appreciated if I allow them to help me. What if you, as a woman, saw a man you thought was way older than you, that may need a helping hand and you asked if you could help them and they responded, 'I'm able to do that on my own.' No thank you, nothing. Then they left. Wouldn't that sit with you for the day? If they said, 'yes, that would be nice, thank you!' Wouldn't that stay with you for several days?
So beautifully said, with such depth, I am applauding you!
Enough being “I can do it myself” women and let’s gracefully give men a lead! We need that as women!
Because it has wrongly been accepted that women are weaker and less capable then men , men must accept the truth that they can do most things themself - Women are not ruining a mans self esteem by being capable ! That being said I always enjoy the give and take of helping and being helped if it is that :)
@@1spiritdancerI totally agree. I think it an art that life teach us or you have build on your own to know when to give and when to receive as a woman. We can’t forget that mostly, women are intelligent but men are physically stronger as well, that’s how it is but we need to allow men to help us and make them
Feel safe and appreciated as well, emotionally.
Life really is mind over matter. She accomplished that. She is so pretty. I love her braid in her hair. So proud of her too👍🏼😁💙
What a beautiful woman, her hair is gorgeous and she doesn't look a day over 75🥰. She has such a wonderful perspective on life. Lessons I surely will take into my life. Thank you.
Thank You Gladys! I've suffered a divorce. I've long been in recovery & have let it all go. There's such beauty in how you say be grateful for the years, experiences & validate the joy in those times. I mourned the loss of a future, mourned what my children were robbed of. I rarely allowed myself to reflect with a grateful heart. 🥲 Thank you Mam! 💝
Esther Perelle (hopefully that's the correct spelling) says that just bc a marriage ends before death, doesn't mean it was a bad marriage.
I believe Gladys is speaking exactly of this. Well done to her.

I’m attending an event with Esther Perel, I know she will drop some gems, Esther is amazing
Wow…Dr Gladys is about the age my grandmother would be if she were still alive. There was just something so wise and positive about the people of that generation. Thank you so much for this interview!
This interview is extremely important message especially from a precious elderly old woman.
I'm learning this very lesson in my own life that she speaks of. Realizing that two people can grow apart, what we tolerate and accept can change. We all have to accept responsibility for the things that happen to us as we do play a part in that, the growth of learning from it and moving forward without holding onto anger or regrets, that's how we grow & become better human beings. Self love isn't selfish and instead of making that a stigma, we should all embrace that we are all on our own journeys and must find happiness within ourselves before we can ever truly be happy with someone else. The only guide we have is the Bible for how to treat each other as human beings and how to love ourselves and each other. Society spreads so much hate and anger these days and it's no wonder the younger generations are numb to so much. Not to be cliche, but we need to spread more love and not hate.
The O-N-L-Y guide humanity has? Nah as that is just a single opinion shared amongst those who've WHAT? Never "learned from" Nature? Ditto animals? Insects? Near death experiences? A lesson from a complete stranger that stirred your soul more than any sermon ever could? To face our own mortality via a sickness in the self or loved one? Looking at the heavens and feel your mind struggle to comprehend the vastness of space in a single galaxy, let alone MILLIONS of them? Reading spiritual material, NOT RELIGIOUS material by coming to know their inconceivable differences? Play in a mud puddle with a toddler and be humbled by the wonder in their eyes to realize an adult can actually be fun! Marvel that music, light and consciousness all vibrate differently yet manifest in accord w/cosmic intention. The Universe wants to dance with our BEING ... so (giggle) who leads?
Numbness, anger, and hate are not restricted to young people. I know several people in their 70s and 80s, and one person of 100, who are bigoted and hateful.
which is why WE NEED to SPREAD more LOVE, not HATE @@SuzanneU
Lisa has a way of expressing tenderness and compassion without saying a word.
These words are GOLD.
What a beautifl interview! I can tell how honored and charmed you are to be listening to this beautiful lady! My absolute favorite Part is when she is singing her catipillar songs or any old song she wants and Jesus is laughing..so adorable!!
I was given a divorce after about 19 yrs. Like Gladys, it came out of the blue, no inkling whatsoever. IMO, when a divorce happens like that, it's more painful than one where there's been previous conflict - if we had been bickering, in constant disagreement, it would have made sense. It felt as if the earth disappeared underneath my feet... Free falling into an unknown, dark abyss.
5 years later, I'm starting to really understand the how's and why's of navigating relationships and how my insecurities and attachment style have played into my previous marriage and other important relationships. Still a beautiful work in progress!
Thank you, Gladys, for your candor and sharing your story. You are proof positive that strong women can and do overcome challenges with love and grace.
Hi there how are you doing today and how is the weather condition over there including your kids well am Gary from Alaska USA i really would love to know more about you but I don't have time here due to my job I hope you wouldn't mind texting

Thank you. Gladys is wonderful. My Aunt Laura will be 92 and she is very much like Gladys. A true inspiration. She's joyful and positive and last year drove 5000 miles with a trailer attached to her car and she still digs up trees. Amazing woman.
Your Aunt Laura has just inspired me to saw down some trees (invasive weed species) that I'd been putting off!
Good for you Sam
Her hair is soooo pretty! 😍
I love this, we all can use the wisdoms of our elders!
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them

Gladys speaks about getting stuck....she says KEEP MOVING
Value yourself. You are unique, an original. Have faith in yourself. Don't worry about people walking away. Think about what you can do to help others. When we all serve we all are being served. You have gifts. You have something to give to help others.
Be strong for yourself.
How blessed she was to have a mother that was so wise.
What a beautiful, wise woman. God is love. When something unexpected happens such as a relationship disruption, I give myself some grieving time but I will never allow ONE person to tear down my happy life. I simply look around at all the people I love and that love me, people I impact that value me and those that God has guided to me for impact and I carry on without a second thought. Why let one second of a day destroy 86000 other seconds. Love this channel!
