Hi Glory. I'm 65 and my advice is don't be in a hurry to . . . . grow up, get married, whatever. Think things through and then make decisions. Also when you do marry, marry a man whose father treats his wife lovingly. When a man is brought up that way he will treat you well also. Love your videos.
I asked my Grandmother what is was like being 99 years old and without missing a beat she said with her Irish way,”There’s no Peer pressure”. She also said, “if you want to walk fast through life walk alone, but if you want to experience life walk hand in hand”. Best always, ~Mark
Hi beautiful woman of God! Turning 70 next year and in love my advice is exchange ‘fake it till you make it’ with ‘You are fearfully and wonderfully made’. One of the things that I know which is very common is we as believers do not grasp our true identity in Christ. Hearing is not the same as believing and when we grasp that wonderful revelation of what the Lord has done for us, comparison will no longer be part of your character. Remember we fight not against flesh and blood. The enemy is a liar and in Christ we are all able to Rise above, in, through and for HIM! God has given you a destiny before you were even in your mother’s womb……..you are on that path, which includes being transformed by the renewing of your mind. You are a breath of fresh air, purpose driven, speak to the Lord and hear His voice for the plan He has for you. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. ❤️🙏🏽
There is probably no general advice, and if somebody would know the magic wisdom , he would be rich as Bezos. So far I would say, talk. Always talk. No txt, no whatsapp etc, that will make things worse. Be honest. To yourself and your partner, also that might be hard. "Walk in your partners boots" for a couple of miles. Take care about respect, both of you. Without respect, game over. And so.... Good luck
First and foremost, love yourself (and God) and know how to forgive yourself. Be kind and gentle with YOU when “weathering storms”. Allow yourself to admit your faults or shortcomings and be open and willing to learn. Be teachable, always. These are a few truths I have experienced in life which have helped and guided me in many relationships. The more you are comfortable in your own skin, the easier for you ‘to become the solution’ in difficult situations. Learn to trust your gut/instincts. I’m a 58 year old woman that has had many friendships and intimate relationships that have brought me joy and heartaches…and yet I remain teachable. Best wishes and God bless. ♥
be honest with yourself, if you find yourself "selling" a partner to your friends and family rather than letting them work it out, there's probably something off about him/her. (I stayed with someone for far too long)
My advice would be: Take risks while you are young. The younger you are the more risks you can take. Travel the world, leave your home town, found a start up and try new things out. Get ouf of your comfort zone and see, if you like it. The older you get, the more difficult this gets. One, because you have more responsibility and second it gets harder to recover from a failure or put the lessons learned from a failure for future use. My grandfather told me: You wont regret those things you did, but only those you didnt dare to try!
Hi Glory, I am 60 yrs young and the best advice I can give you is, just be you, never ever ever negotiate who you are, and last but not least, stand in your power and honor your truth!
Glory, I’ve been following you since Zatara and today was by far my favorite episode. I feel I’ve come to know the real you so much better after today. It was so good to hear you open up about who you really are and sharing with us all the real you behind the curtain and even sharing your insecurities. I was surprised to hear you express those insecurities, as you always come across with confidence and self assurance (but not arrogance). I know there were stronger personalities (JM) on the boat, but you always seemed to know who you are and happy with who you are. That’s a rare quality with young people in today’s world. I look forward to continue to vicariously join you on your adventures and I admit to being a bit jealous I didn’t have the courage to do that when I was your age.
Seek advice from your parents. They love you unconditionally, everyone else has an agenda. Then ask others. If your decision is different from your parents, ask yourself why you want a different path (not always a bad decision). Own it and go with your decision. Realize you are in control of your life.
I LOVE that you want to open up conversation with those of us "more seasoned." We've lost much by jumping to Google for the answer to every question. There is so much to be learned from someone who has lived longer and walked through more of life. And, I love learning from the younger ones as well. You're a smart one Glory!
Firstly, thanks for sharing your faith and struggles. You are very wise for your age young lady and never sell yourself short. Secondly, it is never to soon to sit down with a good financial advisor and explain your goals. This will set you up in a much better comfort zone. It may be that you have to make some sacrifices on certain things in life but you will not be sorry. Finally, my wife and I have been married 36 years and our children are grown, married and have babies but I was not looking to get married until later in life because I had just returned off a high coming back from Everest and met my life mate to be at 25… God’s providence. So keep your life focused on the right things pretty lady and you will be amazed!
Hi Glory! I’ve enjoyed watching the videos of all of you on the sailboat. What an amazing experience. As a 56 y/o looking back, the advice I would offer is embrace every season of your life. One is not better or worse than another, just different and just as full of joy, sorrow, excitement, etc as another season. God offers lessons and walks with you and you learn to trust and become more like Him as you go. You are much more mature and confident than I was at your age so I know you will go far! 😊
This is Bart in Oshawa, Ont., Canada. I am thrilled about you renewing your drivers license in Kansas. The fact that an old goat like me could give the best advice and have you follow it blows my mind. l am so glad to have helped you, Glory. l guess not all information will help but common sense does seem to prevail. Even though you will have to return to Kansas once or twice more, you will have your wonderful family there. That, my dear, is the icing on that cake. Family, love, and contentment in your life. Hugs, God bless and best wishes.
So glad I found your channel, so honest and refreshing! Being a Christian is always evolving in our relationship with God - at the core, I believe it is to try to be kind to everyone you interact...I think St Frances said it the best - Preach the gospel at times, and use words when necessary.
Glory you are an amazing kind young lady. I am 77 and I would be proud to have a granddaughter like you. I find it very upsetting to hear you are lonely and insecure. Just keep that lovely smile on that pretty face 🤗
Sad about Jack, he seemed to ignore you completely in his last video when you guys reunited, I was extremely disappointed in him / for you ☹️ I wish you happiness going forward Glory, you deserve it ❤
Jack and Glory both are too young to be tied down in a relationship or making concessions for the other to be together. They need to really find themselves. Even though they’re adults, they are at the time of their lives to explore and find out who they are. Who knows where life will lead them, and quite possibly together.
Concerning questions about faith: when I asked, God Always explained answers to my questions. In my case I didn't ask unless it was threatening my faith but when I asked He answered every time. Usually from the bible. I learned to remember that regardless of how things look, he really is wholly just, wholly righteous, fully loving, exceedingly kind. He cares about us. I'm only 75 but have learned that. Be in prayer at all times. Trust Him.
Great video Glory! You are really getting good at your videos. You are a beautiful, funny, faith-filled and adventurous young woman. Advice from a 58 year old retired wife + mother: Do not compare yourself to others!!! Everyone’s path is different & unique. Each of us have a story and challenges that we are trying to overcome that others do not always know. You should be very proud of yourself and the opportunities you have chosen! Keep going😄❤️🙌🏼
I cannot remember how long ago it was when I first met you thru your videos. I do remember commenting that it was my belief that you were running...whether away from something or towards something was unknown. Having watched every vlog since, I am now sensing you are far more relaxed and confident growing into yourself and the woman you will become! Congratulations on your most honest and relaxed video yet. 🙏
I’m 64 and some of those exact things are still issues but like you said you push through and eventually you look back at all your experiences. That’s what life is all about-experience and learning. Keep on keeping on! 😊
I’m almost 50. My advice would be to put God first, pray about everything, don’t get financially trapped in a big house & credit card debt. I love the idea of traveling with kids/family on a boat or RV. At the same time…family is so important. Parent age and won’t be around forever. My dad died when I was a few years older than you. And my family is spread out all over the US. Back to praying. God’s plans are way better than anything we can come up with. Trust him. Let him lead and guide you.
I love that youve shared your faith here and its obvious that, like me, a lot of your viewers are here because we are Christian and want to see you spread the Gospel. Im 63. And even though Ive been in church most of my life, Im just now learning that what God wants is for me to spend my life getting to know Him and do His will... which is reading His Word and spreading His Word. Do that now. He will love you, protect you, bless you and prosper you. Jer 29:11 When others give advice, check with Gods Word and make sure it stands up to what He wants for us. Even loving, well meaning people can lead you away from God. Be cautious of who you befriend for the same reasons. Let no one sway you from His path of righteousness. Ok. Enough preching. My boys eyes would be glazed over at this point. Not unlike yours. 😅 Im a tax preparer and if you want to know how to buy a sail boat or a piece of land and write it off every year on your taxes, message me. Praying for you Glory!
Hey Glory, I'm 45 seconds into your video, and I'm writing this to let you know what you said at the start about not having too much pride and not having to go through it alone - I needed to hear that today. Thank you. BTW, claps for the cinematography lately. I enjoy your videos and also how they've evolved. I look forward to the next one (+ the rest of this one! lol). Cheers. Your friend, Sam.
I'm 45, and I think you're way ahead of the curve. The only thing I really know is that I don't really know. Take each experience good and bad as a lesson to be learned and never stop asking questions and learning something new! I think you're doing just fine. Better than most people your age! Your videos are inspiring!keep it up! ❤
Yesss! Most of my life and even now still love to learn from my elders. You get the best information and wisdom. Now in my work a lot of ppl older than me come to me for help and I find that very interesting how life works sometimes. :)
I haven't been skating since I was your age, about 40+ years ago. Enjoy all such fun stuff while you still can. It's good to ask older people for advice. They have tons of experience, have been young also but mostly in different times. These days there is so much conflicting information out there, nearly impossible for youngsters to figure out. Keep traveling all over the world if you can. It will give you a totally different perspective on life than most youngsters never getting out of the country. I did alone when I was young (without phones and internet!), never been the same.
Hi Glory. I'm 65 years old and to tell you the truth, life can always be a little unsettling. There are seasons of calm and routine, true, but when you live for God, He will take you on some of the greatest adventures out there which will test your faith along the way. (We can't know if our faith is real unless it is tested.) The verse from Proverbs 3:5-6 is very helpful during those trying times. Trust! Trust! He knows what He is doing.
I’m a 59 years old. And really enjoyed your video. And I agree with you 100% us older people have a lot to offer to the younger generation. And also vice versa. I have learned from the younger generation. The Internet is great for a lot of things, but I think it has taken over a little too much.
This is one of my favorite videos you've made! I would never of known you were insecure or feeling low during those early videos with the Whitaker fam. Fake till you make it for real. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. I love your videos! - From a fellow KC girl
I'm an older watcher of your content, following you since Med Crew. I work with younger people in my office and I always enjoy having those times when I can pass along my experience and knowledge. Someone on a show I watch once said, "It's hell knowing stuff and not being able to pass it on." and they're right.
Great commentary Glory. Im in my 50’s and I still seek life advice from those generations ahead of me. Think u would be a great teacher or nurse - skills you can take anywhere in the world, bouncing between paid work and volunteer work- also well received skillsets in a boating community. You could be on boat educator for cruisers kids whilst being spare crew member
I’m 55 the one thing I wish I had differently was have a great job so I could always afford to support myself no matter what. I trained horses for 40 years and loved every minute of it it but it didn’t pay well so I under up moving in with a couple different guys just to have a place to live (well I was dating them. But moved in faster than I should have before I knew what they were really about). Now I have been married 20 years and there are times I would have left but I couldn’t afford to. Partly because I have 5 animals and a horse. Hard to find places to go with that many animals. I am not unhappy but I am not happy either. Sometimes I think I have unrealistic ideas about what marriage should be. Good luck in life’s journey
Glory, take your time with life, enjoying, seeing Kansas City from your perspective haven’t been but keep chasing your dreams!! Adulting is tough but looking at the bigger picture sometimes helps, I’m 29,and still figuring this thing called life out
You are 21 and have ben more Places than 99% of the people your age. So injoy this time of your life. Go and do as much as you can before you get to old to do it. My Grandparents all told me years ago to " Stop and Smell the Roses 🌹 While you can still bend over and do it"! And there is Ton of truth in that. So I have! And I have No regrets. I may not be a billionaire , But I am Rich in memories in the Places I have ben and the people I have met. And Now I live in the one Place I have always wanted to be after my very first visit all those years ago. The only thing I regret is I didn't do it sooner. Ok until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!
Glory continue in seeking the Lord for all you do and he will lead your path! such a blessing to see you share your struggles and the Lord is right there with you through all your questions, HE will answer! As an older women keep Jesus first, give HIM your time. You are a beautiful young women of God and HE has the perfect Godly man for you. write it down in your prayer journal on what you want in a husband , I did :) Duet 31:6
You do you-journal a lot-go back and recollect all your adventures-most importantly just be true to yourself. This is how you’ll find strength. Spirit will guide you. 👏👏👏👏
My advice to Glory is to not say in a video that you might have skirted the law. I've seen so many RUclipsrs have the cops called on them by people who are either jealous or are just mean-spirited. Sad but true. 😔 You're a great kid, Glory. You'll find your way in time.
Glory, fortunately as a Christian you are NEVER alone. Holy Spirit lives within you and works through you. So, when you feel alone, just start talking to God, rather than to yourself. The Bible says when we draw near to Him, He will DEFINITELY draw near to us. Enjoying your "stories".
@@lostinspace699, unfortunately, a lot of people do blame God. Try talking to Him about it. Then see what He says. It could change your life if you're open to Him.
You shouldn’t feel insecure. You are a beautiful young lady inside and out. You clearly think your skin is worse than it is. That will go away as you get older and your hormones calm down. Don’t fret on it. You are very pretty.
I was having a discussion with my then 15 year-old daughter and was making no headway. In frustration I declared "Have you ever been 40, for I've been 15". Not sure if that made any difference apart from making me feel better😁. The bottom line is that it's so much better to learn from others mistakes. You're very wise and grounded, you've got amazing parents, siblings and friends. In short, you've got this Glory!!! Bless you and your family.
❤ i have been following you. And i loved hearing that you were from Stratford Ontario. I live 20 minutes from Stratford.... towards Kitchener. My question is why did you leave Stratford/ Canada 🇨🇦? I love the area. By the way i am a young senior. And i so enjoy your thoughts and questions and your honesty. Blessings to you in your journey and your faith.
My advice as someone who has traveled the world since 16, is only travel to places that you really want to go to. Travel slowly and intentionally and make sure you go off the beaten path often. Engage with the locals and try new experiences. Don't race around the world counting countries like many do, simply to say they have been to such and such. Instead go slowly and spend more time in each place. Make sure to immerse yourself in the magic! Safe travels ahead!
i swear by korean skincare products…i have had a bad acne since highschool and i’m 30 now..I went to korea and hoarded skincare products..and it changed my life❤
my advice is listen to older people that have done the things you want to do and learn from their experience. and listen to the ones that didn't do what they want to do, and learn from their regrets.
I think your name describes you... GLORY!! Years ago when I graduated from college, a friend who was a financial advisor, offered me the following advice: Even though you JUST graduated from college and retirement seems like it's YEARS away... start saving SOMETHING... ANYTHING now!! If you don't see it you won't miss it. I took that advice to heart, and 40 years later I pass on that advice whenever the opportunity arises. Another good thing to remember is we were given two ears to hear with and one tongue to speak with. Bottom line, listen more than you speak.
Good Video Glory. You're doing better than you give yourself credit for. You're doing great. Oh, and my perennial piece of wisdom. "There is no such thing as a stupid question!!.
Glory , Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths---Proverbs 3:5-6 My favorite verse from Proverbs!
I feel like we could be great friends!!! If you’re ever in Texas we should totally hang out, or if you would just like to go on a trip together, I am completely down🧡
I'm 63 going on 33...My advice is this for the younger crowd. #1. Hang around smart people. If they're dumb, ditch em, they'll bring you down. 2) See as many states as you can before you're 30. Talk to the local residents. Know this country first before forming an opinion about it. Cheers 🍻!! Great vid
Hi Glory I’m 58. My advice is to explore and enjoy your life for today. Try things you’re not sure you will like, you might surprise yourself. Always keep Christ in your heart
🩷 Great editting Glory ! This wss such s grood Q &A.You have a talent for making videos. Love Strstford, Jack's a fool ( sorry Jack ) if he ever stood a chance. Enjoy life Glory , it's a short ride from a Brit in Toronto.
My advice would be...Please! Please wear a seatbelt when you are in a car. There are two friends I had in my early 20's who didn't wear a seat belt and died horrible painful deaths which had nothing to do with the driver's ability. It was the other driver who ran into them. Buckle up and you could save this life ahead of you that you are discovering now. Beyond seat belts, take risks and explore life to find skills you currently don't realise you have. And finally, do something you absolutely love that makes you money without chasing things that make you money. Live the best life you can!
Life advice from 62 YO: Before doing anything, think about if you would be ashamed or proud of whatever it is. Appreciate how you look/are in your 20s, 30s, etc. and have confidence! Drink lots of water and keep moving! Do not hold grudges - forgive as Jesus forgave you.
@@MaryEllen_of_OBX yeah I see that now. I didn’t see his video when I commented. Jack isn’t the type to force himself on anyone!! I can’t believe you even went there!!
Freshly 37 years old here, so older but still “young-ish”. Slow down, take it all in, don’t be in a hurry to be that final “you”. It’s ok to seek a certain set of values in a partner, but don’t restrict yourself to people that are just like you. Also, wear sunscreen.
what do people think about choosing a major in college, everyone tells me to pick what I want to do, regardless of income, but I can’t justify that right now, especially with it becoming increasingly hard to buy houses and stuf
Degrees are expensive. If you won't end up with a job that brings in enough to live on, it's hard to justify the expense taken on for that degree. You can always have hobbies and passions outside of work. Thanks for bringing up this question. It's an important one!
Business or Sciences will always be the foundation of wealth, or at least something to fall back on if what you thought was a passion project flops. -->Poster Boy
You are right. Find the job and pay you want and work backward. Do keep in mind that if you're passionate about it, you will be more successful and have joy in your work.
Alright Glory, I'll play. 66 years old - Here it is; The better work you do, the better work you WILL do. Let me flesh that out a bit. Small opportunities maximized lead to bigger better opportunities. It's biblical. (Parable of the Talents) The good lord gives everyone talents, when you discover yours, and USE it He will increase it! Easier said than done. BTW, you are getting better and better. I love creative people who use their gift.
Listen to your heart, it knows the way. Some people refer to ‘it’ as a ‘gut feeling’. Listen to it. ALWAYS. I learned the hard way and didn’t like the fact that the ‘lessons’ got way harder. -I just wasn’t listening. Eventually I learned to back away at the 1st red flag. I’m the big 7…in May. It doesn’t matter the issue, the true you knows the answer.
basic life advice......Firstly, focus on your physical health. Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. Keep your body in peak condition, and it will serve you well for the rest of your life. Secondly, work on your mental health. Learn how to manage stress and anxiety. Practice mindfulness, meditation, or any other mental health techniques that work for you. A healthy mind is crucial for a happy life. Thirdly, surround yourself with positive people. Negative energy can bring you down, so choose your friends and acquaintances wisely. Fourthly, set realistic goals for yourself. Break them down into manageable steps, and work towards them consistently. Achieving goals gives you a sense of accomplishment and boosts your self-esteem. Fifthly, learn to manage your finances responsibly. Save money, avoid unnecessary debt, and plan for the future. Financial stability can reduce stress and give you more freedom in life. Sixthly, learn to communicate effectively. Develop your communication skills, be assertive, and listen actively to others. Good communication can improve your relationships and your overall quality of life. Seventhly, learn to take criticism constructively. Not everyone will agree with you or like what you do. Learn to separate personal attacks from constructive criticism, and use it to improve yourself. Eighthly, learn to let go of things you cannot control. Worrying about things beyond your control will only stress you out. Focus on what you can control, and let go of the rest. Ninthly, learn to adapt to change. Change is inevitable, and being able to adapt to it can make your life much easier. Embrace change and learn from it. Tenthly, learn to forgive. Holding onto grudges and resentment will only harm you. Forgive others, and yourself, for past mistakes and move on. Eleventhly, learn to take responsibility for your actions. Don't blame others for your mistakes. Own up to your mistakes, learn from them, and try not to repeat them. Twelfthly, learn to enjoy the present moment. Don't live in the past or worry about the future. Enjoy the present moment, and savor the experiences you have. Thirteenthly, learn to be grateful. Appreciate the good things in your life, and be thankful for the people who support you. Gratitude can improve your overall well-being and happiness. Fourteenthly, learn to be kind and compassionate. Treat others with kindness, and try to understand their perspectives. Kindness and compassion can improve your relationships and your overall happiness. Finally, learn to embrace your imperfections. Nobody is perfect, and trying to be perfect can be stressful and unfulfilling. Embrace your flaws, and learn to love yourself just the way you are. that was a long rant sorry ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ
Good news now that you have a valid driver's license, you can switch over to a Hawaii license without jumping through the hoops. HAWAII will be valid for 8 years.
Glory as a Canadian do u or ur family watch hockey? If so what is ur favorite team and player? And have u ever played and can u do a hockey stop in those figure skates? And why don’t u have more subs all the folks from sailing Katara need to subscribe!
You know, living life is hard. Sometimes people are mean. Sometimes, friends and loved ones just disagree and it can get ugly. Sometimes we have blemishes that make us cringe. For example you brought up your skin. You also said that you want to get married and raise a family. That is awesome. But, in the end, you need to trust in the Lord and wait for His timing. While that is happening, lean on your parents and other cherished, loving friends. Ignor the noise and the negative people. Your parents raised you correctly. And have fun, which clearly you are doing . Someday, God will put in your path that perfect (for you) man that you can build a family with. He will love and cherish you and your blemishes. You know, I didn’t get married until I was 39 and my wife was 34. At 37, God put in my path the most beautiful woman that in the room and the smartest too. She was way more beautiful than I ever thought I would get. Now, 21 years later at ages 60 and 55, I love her much more than the day we go married. We made a life together that I would never give up. The other day, I was looking at a picture of the two of us taken last weekend. The wrinkles she now has outside of her eyes are so incredibly cute. I love them. My wife sees them as blemishes. I see them as beauty. This is what the Lord will do for you and all who trust in Him. What you see as blemishes, your boyfriend/husband will see them as beauty.
2 pieces of advice for life - 1. Don't follow your heart, follow Jesus. 2. Your future is more important than your feelings, and your future is hidden in Christ.
Hi Glory. I'm 65 and my advice is don't be in a hurry to . . . . grow up, get married, whatever. Think things through and then make decisions. Also when you do marry, marry a man whose father treats his wife lovingly. When a man is brought up that way he will treat you well also. Love your videos.
But also, watch how he treats his mom! That’s important too.
Great advice⬆️
All great advice!!!
IGNORE this cow's advice. 🐄
Getting married
and having lots and lots of children
is the ONLY WAY TO LIVE!
Sooner the better! 😇👍
Boomer mentality lol
GloryAnna, we absolutely love you!! Keith and I would definitely grab a shovel, no questions asked 😍
😭 I love you guys
I asked my Grandmother what is was like being 99 years old and without missing a beat she said with her Irish way,”There’s no Peer pressure”. She also said, “if you want to walk fast through life walk alone, but if you want to experience life walk hand in hand”. Best always,
~Mark
A wise woman! I love this 😍🥰
This is great advice ❤
I love this
Hi beautiful woman of God! Turning 70 next year and in love my advice is exchange ‘fake it till you make it’ with ‘You are fearfully and wonderfully made’. One of the things that I know which is very common is we as believers do not grasp our true identity in Christ. Hearing is not the same as believing and when we grasp that wonderful revelation of what the Lord has done for us, comparison will no longer be part of your character. Remember we fight not against flesh and blood. The enemy is a liar and in Christ we are all able to Rise above, in, through and for HIM! God has given you a destiny before you were even in your mother’s womb……..you are on that path, which includes being transformed by the renewing of your mind. You are a breath of fresh air, purpose driven, speak to the Lord and hear His voice for the plan He has for you.

I’d love some relationship advice! Drop below something that helped you and your friends or partner get through conflict.
Always listen. Take the time to evaluate and adapt as you can. Most importantly, be yourself.
There is probably no general advice, and if somebody would know the magic wisdom , he would be rich as Bezos. So far I would say, talk. Always talk. No txt, no whatsapp etc, that will make things worse. Be honest. To yourself and your partner, also that might be hard. "Walk in your partners boots" for a couple of miles. Take care about respect, both of you. Without respect, game over. And so.... Good luck
First and foremost, love yourself (and God) and know how to forgive yourself. Be kind and gentle with YOU when “weathering storms”. Allow yourself to admit your faults or shortcomings and be open and willing to learn. Be teachable, always. These are a few truths I have experienced in life which have helped and guided me in many relationships. The more you are comfortable in your own skin, the easier for you ‘to become the solution’ in difficult situations. Learn to trust your gut/instincts. I’m a 58 year old woman that has had many friendships and intimate relationships that have brought me joy and heartaches…and yet I remain teachable. Best wishes and God bless. ♥
Always be true to yourself and communicate as much as possible. Be involved with your partner but also be yourself. There is always room for both.
be honest with yourself, if you find yourself "selling" a partner to your friends and family rather than letting them work it out, there's probably something off about him/her. (I stayed with someone for far too long)
My advice would be: Take risks while you are young. The younger you are the more risks you can take. Travel the world, leave your home town, found a start up and try new things out. Get ouf of your comfort zone and see, if you like it. The older you get, the more difficult this gets. One, because you have more responsibility and second it gets harder to recover from a failure or put the lessons learned from a failure for future use.
My grandfather told me: You wont regret those things you did, but only those you didnt dare to try!
Hi Glory, I am 60 yrs young and the best advice I can give you is, just be you, never ever ever negotiate who you are, and last but not least, stand in your power and honor your truth!
Glory, Don't search for love, when you are ready love will come to you.
This is so true. Let it find you, the only kind.
I agree 100%. Don’t push it.
Glory, I’ve been following you since Zatara and today was by far my favorite episode. I feel I’ve come to know the real you so much better after today. It was so good to hear you open up about who you really are and sharing with us all the real you behind the curtain and even sharing your insecurities. I was surprised to hear you express those insecurities, as you always come across with confidence and self assurance (but not arrogance). I know there were stronger personalities (JM) on the boat, but you always seemed to know who you are and happy with who you are. That’s a rare quality with young people in today’s world. I look forward to continue to vicariously join you on your adventures and I admit to being a bit jealous I didn’t have the courage to do that when I was your age.
Seek advice from your parents. They love you unconditionally, everyone else has an agenda. Then ask others. If your decision is different from your parents, ask yourself why you want a different path (not always a bad decision). Own it and go with your decision. Realize you are in control of your life.
I LOVE that you want to open up conversation with those of us "more seasoned." We've lost much by jumping to Google for the answer to every question. There is so much to be learned from someone who has lived longer and walked through more of life. And, I love learning from the younger ones as well. You're a smart one Glory!
I so agree. google couldn't ever offer what a real human can
Firstly, thanks for sharing your faith and struggles. You are very wise for your age young lady and never sell yourself short. Secondly, it is never to soon to sit down with a good financial advisor and explain your goals. This will set you up in a much better comfort zone. It may be that you have to make some sacrifices on certain things in life but you will not be sorry.
Finally, my wife and I have been married 36 years and our children are grown, married and have babies but I was not looking to get married until later in life because I had just returned off a high coming back from Everest and met my life mate to be at 25… God’s providence. So keep your life focused on the right things pretty lady and you will be amazed!
Hi Glory! I’ve enjoyed watching the videos of all of you on the sailboat. What an amazing experience.
As a 56 y/o looking back, the advice I would offer is embrace every season of your life. One is not better or worse than another, just different and just as full of joy, sorrow, excitement, etc as another season. God offers lessons and walks with you and you learn to trust and become more like Him as you go.
You are much more mature and confident than I was at your age so I know you will go far! 😊
This is Bart in Oshawa, Ont., Canada. I am thrilled about you renewing your drivers license in Kansas. The fact that an old goat like me could give the best advice and have you follow it blows my mind. l am so glad to have helped you, Glory. l guess not all information will help but common sense does seem to prevail. Even though you will have to return to Kansas once or twice more, you will have your wonderful family there. That, my dear, is the icing on that cake. Family, love, and contentment in your life. Hugs, God bless and best wishes.
You're a beautiful soul, don't change, just grow your awesomeness!!
So glad I found your channel, so honest and refreshing! Being a Christian is always evolving in our relationship with God - at the core, I believe it is to try to be kind to everyone you interact...I think St Frances said it the best - Preach the gospel at times, and use words when necessary.
Glory you are an amazing kind young lady. I am 77 and I would be proud to have a granddaughter like you. I find it very upsetting to hear you are lonely and insecure. Just keep that lovely smile on that pretty face 🤗
At 20 years younger than you Susannah, I've found peace with living along (except for my dog)
Sad about Jack, he seemed to ignore you completely in his last video when you guys reunited, I was extremely disappointed in him / for you ☹️ I wish you happiness going forward Glory, you deserve it ❤
Jack and Glory both are too young to be tied down in a relationship or making concessions for the other to be together. They need to really find themselves. Even though they’re adults, they are at the time of their lives to explore and find out who they are. Who knows where life will lead them, and quite possibly together.
But not including her or treating her well is not kind. If that’s how it was.
Concerning questions about faith: when I asked, God Always explained answers to my questions. In my case I didn't ask unless it was threatening my faith but when I asked He answered every time. Usually from the bible. I learned to remember that regardless of how things look, he really is wholly just, wholly righteous, fully loving, exceedingly kind. He cares about us. I'm only 75 but have learned that. Be in prayer at all times. Trust Him.
I love this!
Great video Glory! You are really getting good at your videos. You are a beautiful, funny, faith-filled and adventurous young woman. Advice from a 58 year old retired wife + mother: Do not compare yourself to others!!! Everyone’s path is different & unique. Each of us have a story and challenges that we are trying to overcome that others do not always know. You should be very proud of yourself and the opportunities you have chosen! Keep going😄❤️🙌🏼
I cannot remember how long ago it was when I first met you thru your videos. I do remember commenting that it was my belief that you were running...whether away from something or towards something was unknown. Having watched every vlog since, I am now sensing you are far more relaxed and confident growing into yourself and the woman you will become! Congratulations on your most honest and relaxed video yet. 🙏
I’m 64 and some of those exact things are still issues but like you said you push through and eventually you look back at all your experiences. That’s what life is all about-experience and learning. Keep on keeping on! 😊
I’m almost 50. My advice would be to put God first, pray about everything, don’t get financially trapped in a big house & credit card debt. I love the idea of traveling with kids/family on a boat or RV. At the same time…family is so important. Parent age and won’t be around forever. My dad died when I was a few years older than you. And my family is spread out all over the US. Back to praying. God’s plans are way better than anything we can come up with. Trust him. Let him lead and guide you.
I love that youve shared your faith here and its obvious that, like me, a lot of your viewers are here because we are Christian and want to see you spread the Gospel. Im 63. And even though Ive been in church most of my life, Im just now learning that what God wants is for me to spend my life getting to know Him and do His will... which is reading His Word and spreading His Word. Do that now. He will love you, protect you, bless you and prosper you. Jer 29:11
When others give advice, check with Gods Word and make sure it stands up to what He wants for us. Even loving, well meaning people can lead you away from God.
Be cautious of who you befriend for the same reasons. Let no one sway you from His path of righteousness.
Ok. Enough preching. My boys eyes would be glazed over at this point. Not unlike yours. 😅
Im a tax preparer and if you want to know how to buy a sail boat or a piece of land and write it off every year on your taxes, message me.
Praying for you Glory!
Hey Glory, I'm 45 seconds into your video, and I'm writing this to let you know what you said at the start about not having too much pride and not having to go through it alone - I needed to hear that today. Thank you. BTW, claps for the cinematography lately. I enjoy your videos and also how they've evolved. I look forward to the next one (+ the rest of this one! lol). Cheers. Your friend, Sam.
I'm 45, and I think you're way ahead of the curve. The only thing I really know is that I don't really know. Take each experience good and bad as a lesson to be learned and never stop asking questions and learning something new! I think you're doing just fine. Better than most people your age! Your videos are inspiring!keep it up! ❤
I truly agree with you on asking for help and advice! I love your videos and energy!!!!! :))
Inspiring for you to put your faith into the world the way you did!
You are very blessed to have a family who can support you mentally and financially on your journeys. Don't ever forget about that!
Yesss! Most of my life and even now still love to learn from my elders. You get the best information and wisdom. Now in my work a lot of ppl older than me come to me for help and I find that very interesting how life works sometimes. :)
I haven't been skating since I was your age, about 40+ years ago. Enjoy all such fun stuff while you still can. It's good to ask older people for advice. They have tons of experience, have been young also but mostly in different times. These days there is so much conflicting information out there, nearly impossible for youngsters to figure out. Keep traveling all over the world if you can. It will give you a totally different perspective on life than most youngsters never getting out of the country. I did alone when I was young (without phones and internet!), never been the same.
Hi Glory. I'm 65 years old and to tell you the truth, life can always be a little unsettling. There are seasons of calm and routine, true, but when you live for God, He will take you on some of the greatest adventures out there which will test your faith along the way. (We can't know if our faith is real unless it is tested.) The verse from Proverbs 3:5-6 is very helpful during those trying times. Trust! Trust! He knows what He is doing.
I couldn’t agree more as a retired pastor due to autoimmune disability you just have her amazing advice
I’m a 59 years old. And really enjoyed your video. And I agree with you 100% us older people have a lot to offer to the younger generation. And also vice versa. I have learned from the younger generation. The Internet is great for a lot of things, but I think it has taken over a little too much.
Agreed! I’m 56 and can’t agree more!!
it's so true
This is one of my favorite videos you've made! I would never of known you were insecure or feeling low during those early videos with the Whitaker fam. Fake till you make it for real. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. I love your videos! - From a fellow KC girl
I'm an older watcher of your content, following you since Med Crew. I work with younger people in my office and I always enjoy having those times when I can pass along my experience and knowledge. Someone on a show I watch once said, "It's hell knowing stuff and not being able to pass it on." and they're right.
Great commentary Glory. Im in my 50’s and I still seek life advice from those generations ahead of me. Think u would be a great teacher or nurse - skills you can take anywhere in the world, bouncing between paid work and volunteer work- also well received skillsets in a boating community. You could be on boat educator for cruisers kids whilst being spare crew member
I’m 55 the one thing I wish I had differently was have a great job so I could always afford to support myself no matter what. I trained horses for 40 years and loved every minute of it it but it didn’t pay well so I under up moving in with a couple different guys just to have a place to live (well I was dating them. But moved in faster than I should have before I knew what they were really about). Now I have been married 20 years and there are times I would have left but I couldn’t afford to. Partly because I have 5 animals and a horse. Hard to find places to go with that many animals. I am not unhappy but I am not happy either. Sometimes I think I have unrealistic ideas about what marriage should be. Good luck in life’s journey
Glory, take your time with life, enjoying, seeing Kansas City from your perspective haven’t been but keep chasing your dreams!! Adulting is tough but looking at the bigger picture sometimes helps, I’m 29,and still figuring this thing called life out
You are 21 and have ben more Places than 99% of the people your age. So injoy this time of your life. Go and do as much as you can before you get to old to do it.
My Grandparents all told me years ago to " Stop and Smell the Roses 🌹 While you can still bend over and do it"! And there is Ton of truth in that. So I have! And I have No regrets. I may not be a billionaire , But I am Rich in memories in the Places I have ben and the people I have met.
And Now I live in the one Place I have always wanted to be after my very first visit all those years ago. The only thing I regret is I didn't do it sooner. Ok until next time,
Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!
Great job! Love the honesty
Glory continue in seeking the Lord for all you do and he will lead your path! such a blessing to see you share your struggles and the Lord is right there with you through all your questions, HE will answer! As an older women keep Jesus first, give HIM your time. You are a beautiful young women of God and HE has the perfect Godly man for you. write it down in your prayer journal on what you want in a husband , I did :)
Duet 31:6
You do you-journal a lot-go back and recollect all your adventures-most importantly just be true to yourself. This is how you’ll find strength. Spirit will guide you. 👏👏👏👏
My advice to Glory is to not say in a video that you might have skirted the law. I've seen so many RUclipsrs have the cops called on them by people who are either jealous or are just mean-spirited. Sad but true. 😔 You're a great kid, Glory. You'll find your way in time.
I've never seen you with makeup before, Glory! Beautiful lady either way!
haha thank you!
1:28 - I'm in the process of doing mine.
5:05 - I think you're a bit too mature for him.
6:05 - 🎉🎉🎉
Glory, fortunately as a Christian you are NEVER alone. Holy Spirit lives within you and works through you. So, when you feel alone, just start talking to God, rather than to yourself. The Bible says when we draw near to Him, He will DEFINITELY draw near to us. Enjoying your "stories".
I blame God then ,,,
Oh, please!
@@lostinspace699 unfortunately a lot of people do blame God. Talk to Him about it. Then listen to His answers. Could change your life if you're open.
@@jamieweyndling1861 😇
@@lostinspace699, unfortunately, a lot of people do blame God. Try talking to Him about it. Then see what He says. It could change your life if you're open to Him.
You shouldn’t feel insecure. You are a beautiful young lady inside and out. You clearly think your skin is worse than it is. That will go away as you get older and your hormones calm down. Don’t fret on it. You are very pretty.
Nice to hear that You have Jesus in Youre life - and You stand with it:-) Greatings from Denmark🙂
Best advise you gave is talk to humans, advise of all kinds. Amazing the wisdom that comes with age but never tempered by enthusiasm.
I was having a discussion with my then 15 year-old daughter and was making no headway. In frustration I declared "Have you ever been 40, for I've been 15". Not sure if that made any difference apart from making me feel better😁. The bottom line is that it's so much better to learn from others mistakes. You're very wise and grounded, you've got amazing parents, siblings and friends. In short, you've got this Glory!!! Bless you and your family.
This is the best way to do a Q&A video!
Glory,
You are on track and doing it right! I'm in my 60's and have dreamt about living on a sailboat since I was a teen.
❤ i have been following you. And i loved hearing that you were from Stratford Ontario. I live 20 minutes from Stratford.... towards Kitchener.
My question is why did you leave Stratford/ Canada 🇨🇦? I love the area.
By the way i am a young senior. And i so enjoy your thoughts and questions and your honesty. Blessings to you in your journey and your faith.
Find someone that cares about you as much as they care about themselves. Keep the confidence! Be you!
56 years old and mentoring youth is a real highlight of my life. Feel free to ask for my perspective.
My advice as someone who has traveled the world since 16, is only travel to places that you really want to go to. Travel slowly and intentionally and make sure you go off the beaten path often. Engage with the locals and try new experiences. Don't race around the world counting countries like many do, simply to say they have been to such and such. Instead go slowly and spend more time in each place. Make sure to immerse yourself in the magic! Safe travels ahead!
i swear by korean skincare products…i have had a bad acne since highschool and i’m 30 now..I went to korea and hoarded skincare products..and it changed my life❤
my advice is listen to older people that have done the things you want to do and learn from their experience. and listen to the ones that didn't do what they want to do, and learn from their regrets.
I’m 27… from Ontario….girl DO IT ALL IN YOUR TWENTIES it goes by sooooo fast. Live at your parents and travel as much as possible
My goodness, there are a lot of us seniors here! Love your videos. Did you see anything of JB growing up?
I think your name describes you... GLORY!!
Years ago when I graduated from college, a friend who was a financial advisor, offered me the following advice: Even though you JUST graduated from college and retirement seems like it's YEARS away... start saving SOMETHING... ANYTHING now!! If you don't see it you won't miss it. I took that advice to heart, and 40 years later I pass on that advice whenever the opportunity arises.
Another good thing to remember is we were given two ears to hear with and one tongue to speak with. Bottom line, listen more than you speak.
Good Video Glory. You're doing better than you give yourself credit for. You're doing great. Oh, and my perennial piece of wisdom. "There is no such thing as a stupid question!!.
Glory , Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths---Proverbs 3:5-6 My favorite verse from Proverbs!
Another Stellar video Glory! Looking forward to your big news next week.
Maybe a boat trip………..
I feel like we could be great friends!!! If you’re ever in Texas we should totally hang out, or if you would just like to go on a trip together, I am completely down🧡
I'm 63 going on 33...My advice is this for the younger crowd. #1. Hang around smart people. If they're dumb, ditch em, they'll bring you down. 2) See as many states as you can before you're 30. Talk to the local residents. Know this country first before forming an opinion about it. Cheers 🍻!! Great vid
It’s always cool to see another KC local! I’d recommend Corazón Cafe if you ever get the chance 🤙🏽
Hi Glory I’m 58. My advice is to explore and enjoy your life for today. Try things you’re not sure you will like, you might surprise yourself. Always keep Christ in your heart
I won't be 50 until May so I'll wait until then :) Love your vids, Glory!
🩷 Great editting Glory ! This wss such s grood Q &A.You have a talent for making videos. Love Strstford, Jack's a fool ( sorry Jack ) if he ever stood a chance. Enjoy life Glory , it's a short ride from a Brit in Toronto.
No worries young lady! You'll do "you" the best :)
My advice would be...Please! Please wear a seatbelt when you are in a car. There are two friends I had in my early 20's who didn't wear a seat belt and died horrible painful deaths which had nothing to do with the driver's ability. It was the other driver who ran into them. Buckle up and you could save this life ahead of you that you are discovering now. Beyond seat belts, take risks and explore life to find skills you currently don't realise you have. And finally, do something you absolutely love that makes you money without chasing things that make you money. Live the best life you can!
Life advice from 62 YO: Before doing anything, think about if you would be ashamed or proud of whatever it is. Appreciate how you look/are in your 20s, 30s, etc. and have confidence! Drink lots of water and keep moving! Do not hold grudges - forgive as Jesus forgave you.
Love your videos your going far in the world glory xx
i love this type of video, have fun with ur lifee! its only one
You should travel Canada more! Come visit in the prairies! Its way more then just flat fields
Try cycling across Canada! You'll get mountains and flat prairies and Lakes and more. 😀
WAIT!!! Back up to the Jack answer!! At one point but not now ..... what happened????? Spill the T please
I think she is referring to Jack having a girlfriend now. I hope that's what she meant, and he didn' try to force himself on her.😝
@@MaryEllen_of_OBX yeah I see that now. I didn’t see his video when I commented. Jack isn’t the type to force himself on anyone!! I can’t believe you even went there!!
"Stop chasing the wrong thing and let the right thing to catch you" I am +30, Yes I like your video...!
I think you can do way better than Jack. You connected more with his parents than him.
Freshly 37 years old here, so older but still “young-ish”. Slow down, take it all in, don’t be in a hurry to be that final “you”. It’s ok to seek a certain set of values in a partner, but don’t restrict yourself to people that are just like you. Also, wear sunscreen.
what do people think about choosing a major in college, everyone tells me to pick what I want to do, regardless of income, but I can’t justify that right now, especially with it becoming increasingly hard to buy houses and stuf
Degrees are expensive. If you won't end up with a job that brings in enough to live on, it's hard to justify the expense taken on for that degree. You can always have hobbies and passions outside of work. Thanks for bringing up this question. It's an important one!
Business or Sciences will always be the foundation of wealth, or at least something to fall back on if what you thought was a passion project flops. -->Poster Boy
You are right. Find the job and pay you want and work backward. Do keep in mind that if you're passionate about it, you will be more successful and have joy in your work.
You’re doing a great job. Keep it up. Very good video.
Alright Glory, I'll play. 66 years old - Here it is; The better work you do, the better work you WILL do.
Let me flesh that out a bit. Small opportunities maximized lead to bigger better opportunities. It's biblical. (Parable of the Talents) The good lord gives everyone talents, when you discover yours, and USE it He will increase it! Easier said than done. BTW, you are getting better and better. I love creative people who use their gift.
Listen to your heart, it knows the way. Some people refer to ‘it’ as a ‘gut feeling’. Listen to it. ALWAYS.
I learned the hard way and didn’t like the fact that the ‘lessons’ got way harder. -I just wasn’t listening. Eventually I learned to back away at the 1st red flag. I’m the big 7…in May.
It doesn’t matter the issue, the true you knows the answer.
I love this channel❤❤😊
I love how open and honest you are about everything! ❤ And also give good advices, e.g. "When it's hard, you just have to push through"
Another very good video Glory, well done! However, please remember to wear seatbelts when in a car.
basic life advice......Firstly, focus on your physical health. Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. Keep your body in peak condition, and it will serve you well for the rest of your life.
Secondly, work on your mental health. Learn how to manage stress and anxiety. Practice mindfulness, meditation, or any other mental health techniques that work for you. A healthy mind is crucial for a happy life.
Thirdly, surround yourself with positive people. Negative energy can bring you down, so choose your friends and acquaintances wisely.
Fourthly, set realistic goals for yourself. Break them down into manageable steps, and work towards them consistently. Achieving goals gives you a sense of accomplishment and boosts your self-esteem.
Fifthly, learn to manage your finances responsibly. Save money, avoid unnecessary debt, and plan for the future. Financial stability can reduce stress and give you more freedom in life.
Sixthly, learn to communicate effectively. Develop your communication skills, be assertive, and listen actively to others. Good communication can improve your relationships and your overall quality of life.
Seventhly, learn to take criticism constructively. Not everyone will agree with you or like what you do. Learn to separate personal attacks from constructive criticism, and use it to improve yourself.
Eighthly, learn to let go of things you cannot control. Worrying about things beyond your control will only stress you out. Focus on what you can control, and let go of the rest.
Ninthly, learn to adapt to change. Change is inevitable, and being able to adapt to it can make your life much easier. Embrace change and learn from it.
Tenthly, learn to forgive. Holding onto grudges and resentment will only harm you. Forgive others, and yourself, for past mistakes and move on.
Eleventhly, learn to take responsibility for your actions. Don't blame others for your mistakes. Own up to your mistakes, learn from them, and try not to repeat them.
Twelfthly, learn to enjoy the present moment. Don't live in the past or worry about the future. Enjoy the present moment, and savor the experiences you have.
Thirteenthly, learn to be grateful. Appreciate the good things in your life, and be thankful for the people who support you. Gratitude can improve your overall well-being and happiness.
Fourteenthly, learn to be kind and compassionate. Treat others with kindness, and try to understand their perspectives. Kindness and compassion can improve your relationships and your overall happiness.
Finally, learn to embrace your imperfections. Nobody is perfect, and trying to be perfect can be stressful and unfulfilling. Embrace your flaws, and learn to love yourself just the way you are. that was a long rant sorry ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

Great Video. You deserve 100k+ followers Glory....
You know, living life is hard. Sometimes people are mean. Sometimes, friends and loved ones just disagree and it can get ugly. Sometimes we have blemishes that make us cringe. For example you brought up your skin. You also said that you want to get married and raise a family. That is awesome. But, in the end, you need to trust in the Lord and wait for His timing. While that is happening, lean on your parents and other cherished, loving friends. Ignor the noise and the negative people. Your parents raised you correctly. And have fun, which clearly you are doing . Someday, God will put in your path that perfect (for you) man that you can build a family with. He will love and cherish you and your blemishes. You know, I didn’t get married until I was 39 and my wife was 34. At 37, God put in my path the most beautiful woman that in the room and the smartest too. She was way more beautiful than I ever thought I would get. Now, 21 years later at ages 60 and 55, I love her much more than the day we go married. We made a life together that I would never give up. The other day, I was looking at a picture of the two of us taken last weekend. The wrinkles she now has outside of her eyes are so incredibly cute. I love them. My wife sees them as blemishes. I see them as beauty. This is what the Lord will do for you and all who trust in Him. What you see as blemishes, your boyfriend/husband will see them as beauty.
u made me want to be a liveaboard. I am hoping to be one soon enough!
Do it
Lol at the fall at the end... that would be me the whole time.
2 pieces of advice for life -
1. Don't follow your heart, follow Jesus.
2. Your future is more important than your feelings, and your future is hidden in Christ.
