Hello, my name is Andrea Clark and I'm currently curating an exhibition about Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots, which will open at the Bridge Library next year. We are really excited about the exhibition for it will be the first to consider these two iconic female realists together, putting them both centre stage. As I continue to work from home on the exhibition, at a time when we're all focused on staying connected with family and friends and longed to be able to enjoy their company, it's been really poignant to read the many letters that Mary sent to Elizabeth to request a personal meeting. For despite having been united many times on stage and screen, in real life the two women never actually met, instead their relationship was played out at a distance, much of it by letter. What I would like to do now is share with you three of these exceptional letters, all written in 1568 following Mary's deposition by her Scottish subjects and her flight over the English border. The first item really is a duel beyond price in terms of its historical significance, for it is the very letter that Mary sent to Elizabeth to announce her arrival on English soil. Writing in her native French tongue and childlike handwriting, Mary describes the treasonable actions of her enemies who have robbed me of everything I had in the world. And she expresses confidence in Elizabeth, not only for the safety of my life, but also to aid and assist me in my just quarrel. Mary's hope was not entirely misplaced, for since her return to Scotland in 1561 to take up direct rule following the death for husband the French king, she and Elizabeth had regularly exchanged letters full of sisterly affection. Describing herself as Elizabeth's very faithful and affectionate good sister cousin and escape prisoner, Mary begs for an audience. I entreat you to send to fetch me as soon as you possibly can, for I am she bemoans in a pitiable condition, not only for a queen but for a gentle woman. For I have nothing in the world but what I had on my person when I made my escape, travelling 60 miles across the country the first day, and not having since ever ventured to proceed except by night, as I hope to declare before you if it pleases you to have pity, as I trust you will upon my extreme misfortune. Mary's unexpected arrival plunged Elizabeth and her government into a political predicament that would last for 20 years. As her blood relative and fellow queen, Elizabeth was sympathetic to Mary's situation, but she was also acutely aware that her Catholic faith and strong claim to the English throne made her dangerous. On the advice of her chief minister William Cecil, Elizabeth declined to meet Mary and instead placed her under temporary house arrest. Three months later, Mary wrote this friendly and rather charming note to her guard, Sir Francis Knowles, informing him of her intention to send a little token for his wife. Mary had been learning English under Knowles' tuition and this is the first letter that she penned in English. Continuing to press for a personal meeting with Elizabeth, Mary entreats Knowles to intercede with the Queen on her behalf. She promises to follow his counsel but confesses that she is struggling to express her understanding in this language and asks him to excuse my evil writing for I never used it before and am hasted. In October 1568 Elizabeth set up a tribunal to investigate the reasons for Mary's deposition and to mediate between her and the Scottish rebels. But when the rebels presented a collection of love letters and sonnets known as the casket letters and allegedly penned by Mary to the Earl of Boffwell as evidence of her adultery and complicity in the murder of her second husband Lord Darnley, Mary found herself on trial. She insisted the letters were forgeries and demanded a personal interview with the Queen but Elizabeth declined to meet her until she had been cleared of all accusations and her reputation fully restored. And so Mary withdrew her representatives in protest. The letter that Elizabeth sent in response is fascinating for although she had written to Mary in her own hand early on in their relationship as a sign of Queen's sisterhood, she was now reluctant to do so and this letter was written by a secretary. Elizabeth did however add her instantly recognisable and extravagantly flourished signature and she still subscribed herself, your good sister and cousin. Elizabeth assures Mary that the sorrow she had long felt for her mishaps and great troubles were now doubled by the appearance of the casket letters. Unable to reach a judgement without hearing Mary's version of events, Elizabeth urges her as one prince and near cousin regarding another, most earnestly as we may in terms of friendship not to forbear from answering. Mary refused and in January 1569 the case against her was declared not proven. This inconclusive verdict would be used to justify Mary's continued imprisonment in England for the next 18 years. The British Library's exhibition will contain many more thrilling documents such as these written in the Queen's own words and hands which will enable visitors to step back into their world and to understand how from amicable beginnings and sisterly affection their relationship turned into one of suspicion, distrust and betrayal.


Let's face it if you're you if you're in your 40s 50s 60s or even 70s and you're single these days The dating process might seem very frustrating Especially if you're the type of person that truly wants to be in partnership with another person And it can be rather nerve-wracking because what we What we'd like to have happen today is what we imagine happened Yesteryear and repeat that what we'd like to have happen today is what we imagine what happened Yesteryear and what I mean to say is two people meet they fall in love and they live happily ever after and yet these days The dating process can be rather frustrating because the reality is is we're meeting a melting pot of different types of people That might not share our same values whose lifestyles might not be blendables with ours Or they don't have the emotional maturity or relationship skills to actually be in relationship So there's a heavy emphasis on Attraction to build relationship success. In fact, most people think if there's Mutual chemistry they have the makings for relationship success And what I mean by relationship success is that we feel like we're a priority in somebody's life Repeat that feeling like we're a priority in someone's life to feel like that this person genuinely cares about us So much that they make us as important as every other aspect in their life And yet if you're in midlife you come to the table with a fair amount of luggage Some people might call it baggage. Some people might call it luggage But it's quite different than what it would be in your 20s or 30s when you're building a life Because when you hit your 40s 50s 60s or even 70s it can be vastly different And one of the biggest challenges in relationship is actually blending lives together So so you can actually make someone a priority in your life So today we're going to examine some of the ways to make that happen But more importantly, we're gonna be looking at some of the important factors Importantly important factors that that contribute to actually really What's the word I'm looking for Really attract that kind of relationship where you can be in partnership with one another and yet sadly these days Most people don't recognize what that looks like what partnership looks like what questions to ask a person To determine if they can actually be a partner in your life Repeat that what are the questions you ask a person beyond the surface questions because these days most people are Operating on the surface level like I said Attraction and it's all about having a good time. Did you have a good time? I hope you had a good time Did you have a good day? I hope you had a good day They're talking on the surface level and they're not actually going beneath the surface to determine like I said before Does this person share the same values as me? Is their lifestyle blendable with mine and more importantly are they emotionally mature enough and do they even have the relationship skills to be in relationship? These days many human beings are operating from a fantasy perspective instead of actually putting on their thinking caps To determine if there's an actual good fit for them And this is why I recommend checking out a free discovery call with me to see if working with a coach is right for you One of the areas my expertise is to help you to determine What are the questions to ask someone early on just to determine if you're a fit with another person? So you don't waste your time with the wrong person It's kind of interesting recently I was on a vacation with my girlfriend and I was talking about some of the factors that I thought made her Attractive to me to want to make her a priority in my life and in a moment I'll be sharing those three most important ones But I would like to share with you what we dialogue with each other because one of the things I most admired about her And we unpacked her previous relationships that give me some context to share this with you So I used her as a backdrop as long as along with all my clients that I've worked with in the last almost 15 years And a mast over 20,000 hours of coaching in the last 15 years to determine some of the similarities human beings go through And one of the things I've noticed with women who seem to attract I don't want to say a better quality person because I don't like saying it that way But the less dysfunctional person let me repeat that some of the qualities or some of the attributes a woman might Project within herself so she doesn't attract some of those human beings who are actually rather dysfunctional in relationship And if you haven't seen my relationship skills emotional maturity chart, by the way, this is not a fact It's merely an opinion. I believe 20% of the population as clinical issues Clinical issues and while I say 20% of the population is emotionally healthy and have good skills I'm being rather generous with that. Most everybody is dysfunctional And what I admired most about her was her ability to be discerning to be discerning And I think one of the qualities that she represented right from the get-go that I admire most is she had a non attachment To another human being she didn't get overly attached to somebody who she had a first second third fourth fifth or sixth date She didn't get overly attached. She didn't give her power away to some man This is something I see frequent with women over and over and over again is that they give their power away to men And it's partially because that's the design factor of relationships There's this Expectation that men are the leaders of the relationship and the woman's just supposed to follow along to whatever he's doing When you give him that power You also might get overly attached to someone because they might be operating from rhetoric and not necessarily from a genuine place The other thing I noticed that she had and again I've noticed this with so many of my clients that work with me as that they have their act together Their life isn't in chaos If you're going through a contentious divorce if you have a contentious ex for example If you have children that are going through complicated periods in their life It can be very difficult to actually build the foundation for a Relationship and this is true of men and women alike now This isn't to say that they aren't deserving of relationship But if you have issues going on at work if you have health issues if you have Chaos going on in your life or if a man has chaos going on in his life It's very difficult to build the foundation to sustain a healthy happy relationship That makes someone want to make you a priority in vice versa So I really want you to look deep inside Do you feel like you have your act together? A lot of people are delusional. They think they're of their act together I know men are delusional. They think they're of their act together They come across with love bombing or a lot of limerence in other words putting someone up on a pedestal Only to find out that their life is an absolute chaos This is why I'm a big proponent of laying your cards on the table very early on in the dating process This is why I've repeatedly said Ladies before the penis goes inside the vagina You might want to consider at least reading chapter one of this book about commitment And maybe have the guy if he's a total stranger to you if you know very little about him You might want to do the same thing read chapter one. It's about trust and commitment because these days if you're going to invest on the chemical bandwagon of chemistry and The physical bandwagon of chemistry physical meaning the you know a sexual relationship You should know what you're getting into With somebody before you give your heart to another human being and while I've said Repeatedly it takes about a hundred hours of face-to-face time to build the first layer of trust trust is built in multiple layers and While that's not an absolute timeline the whole point is Don't give your heart to someone Don't even make them a priority in your life Until you've actually built some levels of trust And more importantly one thing I noticed about her is she doesn't need to be rescued She doesn't need to feel loved by someone else to feel good about herself here in the United States We are suckling on the nipple of I need you to love me so I can feel good about myself I need you to love me so I can feel good about myself I need validation and validation and validation so I can feel safe in this relationship Folks if you're not familiar with my book what the heck is self-love anyway a journey of personal development self-help and spiritual work And by the way in the description of this video is all the books. I recommend also different links to connect with me Check out this book. This is a book to build your internal Empowerments so you're not dependent upon someone else for your happiness and more importantly what I respect about her is She was not high maintenance with her standards. She had high standards and High standards is different because ultimately what's most important is to express your standards And what standards is merely is what do you want your relationship to look like? What do you want to look like? Initially, my thoughts were if I was had a local relationship as we'd spend three or four days and nights a week together Doing shared activities hobbies mutual interest spending time with family and friends traveling together teamwork-building skills both in our personal and our professional lives and intimacy both physical and emotional intimacy that is the standard I set for myself and While I considered someone whose long distance I just had to modify that standard ever so slightly but ultimately the elements in that is the Elements to build a relationship and yet sadly these days most people spend more time on these devices either talking or texting and not building a real true connection True connection happens through social activities hobbies mutual interest spending time with family and friends and regular basis All the most successful Relationships, I know have see each other on a regular regular basis Not once a month not once every other month not once every six months if you want to build the deep roots of trust It has to be done face-to-face It's very difficult to do this over the phone and over text messaging or even FaceTime and Ultimately, if you are considering a distance relationship Which many and by the way, I'm not here to say that they don't work most people adopt or enter into these relationships under a fantasy because there's no real game plan how to bring the two together and I wouldn't invest more than three or four months with someone unless you have a genuine game plan of how you're going to move Either near each other or in with each other because without a game plan you might invest years Only to find out you're going to be back out in the marketplace again, and you won't be this person's priority So I shared a little bit about her because it made me gave me some reflection Because I see a lot of my clients in her I see a lot of my clients in her the clients who genuinely want partnership in the way they approach the process Is so different than the rhetoric that we hear today Is you just have to sit in your feminine energy and just let the guy claim you because all you have to do is do nothing And let the guy claim you What a crock of shit in my book now. This isn't to say that masculine and feminine energy don't exist Masculine is doing and feminine is receiving and a healthy human being has an equal balance of both I'm repeat that a healthy human being has an equal balance of both if you haven't read Oh, did I pull out the book? Oh, if you haven't read the book the untethered soul by michael singer I highly recommend reading this book so you can tap into that inner Strength within yourself so you don't have to follow the traditional rhetoric And this is why I continually recommend the book if the buddha dated because this throws out all the bullshit gender Rhetoric and says how can we connect with somebody on a heart-centered level? I highly recommend this book and what I most appreciate about the philosophy of buddhism It's all about non attachment Non attachment and what I've taught my clients over the year is to be open and receptive to all the possibilities and not attached to the outcome because when you get attached to the outcome You are going to set yourself up for failure Now let me just say something folks. This is so much easier said than done Believe me. I know this personally speaking. I'm very attached to my my new partner. I'm very attached to this person It's not easy not to be attached But at the same time I've also learned the skills from two books that I highly recommend reading The book attached by emeer levine and rachel heller which talks about love attachment styles And also the book getting the love you want by harbell hendrix and helen hunt again all the books I recommend are below so you can understand that here's the bottom line When you understand your individual makeup of how you operate you will learn one simple thing And if I can impress this upon you I want you to know that even if your relationship doesn't work out Even if you're attached to them no matter what You are going to be okay You will survive and you have the potential to thrive Let me repeat that you will survive and you will have the potential to thrive And yet if you give your power to another human being if you make their Validation towards you as your your sense of happiness. You are already setting yourself up for codependency relationships And I want to help you avoid those codependent relationships.  This is why if you're not familiar with the work of brené brown I highly recommend her book daring greatly It's time to let go of the fantasy rhetoric about relationships and remember that the most important relationship you have is with yourself Because here's the bottom line folks we are swimming in a sea of dysfunctionality And very few humans have good relationship skills. So I invite you and a lot of people are delusional to their own Skill sets in relationship when I mean by delusional is a lot of you are in fantasy realm thinking you're good at it When very few people have actually done the work. So let me just say this When you can learn that you'll be okay. No matter what and let go of the angry bitter rhetoric towards the opposite sex You can actually start to attract in a healthy happy relationship and in a moment I'll share those three things I prepared for today, but I'd like to start with a prayer God universe spirit gusts I invite a juicy delicious healthy relationship in my life where we have mutual chemistry with one another and We have that communication skills between us Where we can handle conflicts and differences these and we can banter for hours and hours at a time And we have lifestyles that are compatible with one another and we share the same values And we have the emotional maturity to build a healthy happy relationship And we can build the deep roots of trust through those social activities hobbies mutual interest spending time with family and friends traveling together intimacy both physical and emotional intimacy that leads to something where we grow together as a couple god universe spirit I invite that into my life I invite that for you to start that prayer To let go of the bitterness the anger and the resentment that you might have towards the opposite sex Because if you want to be a priority in someone's life, here are the most three and most important things number one Is to know your worth By having your act together having that confidence That you're a good partner in your life knowing your worth Knowing you can't give your power away to someone else knowing that no matter what happens You're going to be okay in this relationship.   Let me repeat that an attitude of what could I get instead of what could I give or worse I would meet those type of women who are doormats They were doormats. They give their power away to a guy so easily and so freely And no wonder those men wouldn't want to make them as a priority Those entitled women those users that I've talked about before if you're not familiar with the three types of people dating today I highly recommend checking this out. This is not a fact. It's merely an opinion. There's the users These are the love bombers the short term players the gold diggers the entitled people only care about themselves And then next are the spenders. That's about 60 percent of the population They seek connection companionship and sex, but they have no Real direction. They have uncertainty and they're fearful Usually have dysfunctionality in their lives and lastly are the growers and builders These are the people that seek long-term commitment. They're emotionally grown up They have relationship skills and they have their act together When you're operating from a place of a grower builder You have a better chance for relationship success and actually to be a priority in someone's life Is this resonating with you as this sinking in if it's yes hit this like button Please share this video. Please subscribe to my channel right now Because I invite you to shift the narrative from an old way of doing things And maybe operate from a place of true empowerment within yourself because that's the women and men That the opposite sex Would like to make a priority those people that know their worth They know their standards and boundaries and most importantly They have a little kid inside of them that wants to play play play play Because what's the point of relationship? Unless you just want to go through the motions and I invite you all to allow your little kid in so you can play Is this sinking in is this resonating?

I mean we make quick decisions, but sometimes stuff comes up You know So I wouldn't sweat it, you know, I'd be on for 15 minutes I'd log off and I move on and let the person You reach out to you and see what they have to say I don't know if I would have reacted that quickly, but I recognize that things can happen So maybe listen, I think it's important to You know be generous in your prospecting and be rather selective in who you meet Let me repeat that be generous with your prospecting and be selective with who you meet In fact, that's kind of what my whole coaching program is check that out there. Jonathan Asley dot com coaching. That's what I teach in my private coaching be select Be generous with your prospecting and selective in who you meet Okay, so yeah, I think you might have reacted a little bit too quickly, but it can go either way on that one okay Brenda ask. How was your cancun trip details, please? You know the trip was great. I had my 60th birthday there. I had a great time I'm very blessed the trout other than having monazuma's revenge for I got I got food poisoning the evening of my birthday And I spent the next two days pretty much in the bathroom the whole time I wasn't too excited about that But you know, we had a great time the the trip went smoothly Like, you know, they say they say relationships Really one of the tests in relationships is being able to travel together and we traveled rather smoothly I mean it was by the way, I was very blessed because she speaks Spanish so we can she just I mean it was like I was so grateful that she handled a lot of the details Plus she's a seasoned traveler So she handled a lot of the details which made it easy for me and for both of us. So Very blessed we had a great time. I showed some pictures up in my community page. So thank you for that question Brenda. I appreciate it All right, Sarah writes question He's a busy guy. He doesn't invite me so much often for dinner But when I invited him he found the time to come to my place We have been that way for almost a year not happy with the progress So Sarah that's not a question. That's a statement folks If you want to ask a question, what problem do you want to solve? That's merely a statement And I've noticed women have a habit of making statements and not actually expressing what you want solved So if you want a problem solved Ask a question rather than give me the backstory you might simply say I've been in a relationship It hasn't progressed. What are some things that can do to progress the relationship? I'm a big proponent of having radical honesty questions Radical honesty questions start cutting to the chase because one year in relationship.  Are you just having a good time together? Let's just have a good time I hope we have a good time But it seems like all he does is come to you and you're not building You're not creating the building blocks to a successful relationship Read the book eight dates by doctors john and julie gotman so you can recognize the building blocks to a healthy happy relationship That's my invitation for you Because right now sounds like he's winging it. You're winging it when you're winging it. What ends up happening You crash and burn most likely So anyway, sarah, that's my two cents on that one. Thank you so much Uh, and he's a busy guy by the way, uh, sarah Busy is not conducive for a healthy happy relationship All right, marianne says or excuse me, uh, hustlin says Question, how do you identify a love bomber? Hi from the drain spit? This is from Madrid, spain God that was a Slexy on my part. How do you recognize a love bomber?  You are so different than anyone I've ever met You have my heart. You have my desire. I want to travel with you. I want to marry you And by the way, that's only 15 minutes in Meeting you that's a love bomber and Someone who does that on the first second or third date is pretty much a love bomber. Hope that helps with you Thank you so much. Uh miss salar. Thank you Uh, and that says I totally agree. It's about being the best you and to be fun exactly Ah Let's see Kim says question The guy I'm seeing says he wants a relationship. However Has saying he's not sure what he wants He went through a bad divorce with his ex And a bad divorce and has three children Once again, this isn't a question kim.  Now, let's come back to this again He went he says he doesn't know what he wants Why do you want to be with someone who well? Here's the thing. Do you know what you want? I'm going to tell you something in my coaching practice.   Can you guess what they say? They say this Jonathan, why didn't they teach me this in school? Why didn't my parents teach me this? Why didn't I learn this before I married the wrong guy? I didn't know what I wanted folks If you're with somebody who doesn't know what they want that's a sign You don't know what you want because a woman Who wants to be a priority in a man's life?   So if you're staying with someone who doesn't know what they want That's a clear sign. You don't know what you want So I invite you to maybe schedule a call with me to change that narrative. Kim. Thank you so much I appreciate it Ah Barbara says I get the impression you gave her the window seat. Yes, I sat in the aisle and she sat next to me next to the window That's exactly it All right, let's keep going All right, sarah comes back with her question How can I open the subject with him about what we are? I asked him one time.   Hold on one second everybody. I should have grabbed this book I should have grabbed this book as well This is another book by uh, john gotman It's called the seven principles to for making marriage work Why i'm recommending you read this book because most you guys are fucking clueless as to the mechanics of a healthy happy relationship Okay chapters How to predict divorce how to in how to enhance your love maps two different types of marital conflict Solve your solvable problems coping with typical solvable problems predict the outcome gridlock folks If you don't know how a relationship works Then how can you be in a relationship with someone?  First off, I highly recommend reading this book before you start. It's called nonviolent communication by marshal rosenberg Okay, nonviolent. So you learn how to communicate in a non confrontational way And how you open up the conversation go look This is what I want out of a relationship. What do you want? And if you're not on the same page Then ask yourself, do you want to be in this relationship with another human being? Do you know how many people are not on the same page? About 90 percent of people in relationship and I'm exaggerating that number a little bit.  Let's keep going All right kim comes back with a question What am I doing wrong when he says he wants a relationship and then says he doesn't know what he wants He is scared because of how badly his divorce went Yeah, he's confused And by the way, what would steve harvey say don't give the cookie to a confused guy only being his listen Many of you are operating from that type of relationship I talked about earlier that you're with what's known as a spender Spent here's this graph once again The spender 60 of the population they seek connection companionship and coupling and or sex No direction uncertain fearful usually have a dysfunctional life Why are you investing in someone who doesn't know what they want? folks I've been watching a tv show my girlfriend turned me on to it called 90 day fiance 90 day fiance Now i'm going to tell you i'm not a reality show person In fact, these are in my opinion. It's kind of junk But you know what I had an interesting thought What if every okay if a man wanted to sleep with you He you would have to live at his place for 30 days Before you had sex just to see if you could actually fit together What do you think would happen? What do you think would happen? Would the guys say yes probably not would they make that kind of investment and commitment to you probably not Why because the reality is is these days sex is relatively free and easy to get with little or no commitment Little or no commitment. This is why when I created my dating vows If you're not familiar with it, I'll pull it up right now By the way, it's listed in the description below if you want to get a copy of this right here It's listed below, but there's an old saying Have you ever heard the saying women are the gatekeepers of sex and men are the gatekeepers of commitment? That's right We can get practically these days all the sex we want With little or no commitment all we have to say is yeah, I think I want a relationship I think I want a relationship So I invite you to say the following to a guy before the penis ever goes inside the vagina For more than once okay The dating vow is simple you each state the following I agree to explore the process of getting to know you with the intent to declare something serious in the next three to six months I agree to be monogamous sexually while we have regular sex together I agree to not actively date or meet others And take down my dating profiles while we're In any relationship with each other I agree to speak up if this isn't working for me versus pulling back ghosting or disappearing I agree to invest regular time in the process of getting to know you which looks like Spending three or four days and nights a week together doing shared activities hobbies mutual interest spending time with family and friends Traveling together teamwork building skills both in our personal and professional life and intimacy both physical and emotional intimacy Now I will tell you 90% of guys will probably bail on this Why? Because there's a woman out there that'll give them sex, but if he likes you he respects you and he values you The man who says that is more inclined to be serious about a relationship than the guy who isn't Is this sinking in is this resonating? Please let me know hit that thumbs up. Let me know All right, let's see what else we have here Um, all right, let's see what else we have here Ah question from Miss brown question 1.0. Is it okay to continue texting a guy? It's progressing. Well, we go back and forth with our eight dates question manual Yes, it's but listen It's okay to text, but relationships are built face to face face to face face to face Face to face. That's how relationship is built. It's not built over the telephone All right Looks like we have a spammer here Let's put this person on a timeout all right Allison says what's the best way to find out What you want. Can you give us a hint? Read the books. I recommend that's a good place to start Okay All right, next question. Jennifer says Question met a great guy in bumble. I thought we had nice coffee date, but he didn't suggest getting together again Should I assume he wasn't interested? He's very passive I would simply do this I would Ask him out For a drink I'd say hey, would you like to gather get together for a drink if he says yes Then you have a second date if he says no you move on that's simple Why does it I mean he didn't set it up, but you can just follow up Hey, I had a great time with you. Would you be up for a meeting for a drink with me on thursday night? He'll most likely go. Hey, I had a great time, but something's come up. I'm really busy I've got chaos going on in my life, but there's an ex-girlfriend. I'm blah blah blah or he'll ghost you Cut to the quick folks. You have the power too to initiate the Getting together you have that power do it What's the worst thing that can happen? Yes, you could get rejected Guess what? We men get rejected thousands of times, but we still get up for the game. Why because we like pussy too much So if you like guys then make the effort All right, that's my two cents on that. Hey, I want to thank nancy for the two dollar super sticker Thank you so much. Oh, here's your question.  That's my two cents on that So nancy, thank you for that question Lulu writes question Is it a good sign if a man remembers what I was wearing first date? It's been 10 months since we met Let's see. I can remember okay My relationship is over three months old now I can remember what you were on a first date. It was a gorgeous little black dress With uh, I think she was wearing platform shoes or some high heel shoes or something like that.  You're very welcome all right Let's keep personal question What did you learn about her from being sick together? Oh, that's an interesting question. So she was very um She was very helpful to me. She was very understanding It affected me a little bit, but um, she was just very She you know what I like about her there. She is again my sweetheart But I like about her. She has such a pleasant calm friendly agreeable personality I'm gonna repeat that friendly calm agreeable personality and she's very much a nurturer She's very much a you know, it's interesting because we we often have conversations about masculine and feminine energy And she's very feminine. I mean she likes to dress feminine and act feminine, but she also has an empowered state within State of being within her. She's traveled 68 countries all over the world She's had to get through customs and go through difficult situations being by herself being empowered So I like the the strength that she has within her But she also has a soft loving side in her and what we both find between the two of us And this is an important trait. I think everybody needs to cultivate Is being an agreeable person The reality is is the older we get the more rigid we become as human beings And it's got to be my way or the highway And that's not fun to be with a person. That's my way or the highway So I I think one of the Significant benefits that the two of us have with each other is we have an agreeable personality We have agreeable personalities. I think we're both a little bit people pleasers and we want to be like so That probably contributes to it, but the end of the day We don't sweat the small stuff You know, there's this book I I brought this up perfect time to bring it up.  Uh, she was wonderful. So thank you uh Let's see Chris says why do men rush to meet when dating online? What's wrong with what's wrong with that you connect you want to meet right away? What is wrong with that now? There's also a benefit for talking a little bit to build some familiarity I'm a big proponent of have listen. I believe in my rule of thumb is three two one three Okay First is you have no more than three email or text exchanges leads to no more than one or two phone calls That leads to one date all in three weeks in a three week period of time That's my rule of thumb and the sooner the better than three weeks But if that progression happens where you had a couple email exchanges on a dating site by the time you get on the phone It's maybe a week or so maybe eight days later You have a good phone call maybe another one you plan a date a week later This all happens within three weeks or less I'm a big proponent Meet quickly determine if you do the sniff test See if you like each other if you like each other you see again quickly If you like each other you see again you see each other again quickly And if you like each other you see each other again quickly and you begin that progression because You know, you you don't want this thing to fucking drag out You don't want things to drag out And especially long distance relationship Oh my god, those can drag out for months If not years before people meet and all they've done is they have a telephone buddy And not someone who can actually be a partner in their life. So I think it's great to meet sooner rather than later All right, let's keep swimming Let's keep swimming Uh Envy says sooner rather than later. I agree avoid wasting time Let's see All right, leanne says question After bumping into an old boyfriend from when I was in my 20s and now 57 he wanted to call me his girlfriend Do you think that's too soon? I was uncomfortable with it. He broke it off One meeting and called you his girlfriend. Yeah, that's a little too ridiculous Yeah, I mean look it it takes it takes a good three to five dates I would say by the time my girlfriend. I spent a cumulative nine Days together we agreed to explore a relationship with one another call each other boyfriend and girlfriend after nine physical face-to-face Time together That's when we agreed to call each other boyfriend and girlfriend So I think it's going to take somewhere to three to five Wait a minute. Technically. I mean let's see four Technically four seven we agreed by the seventh or eight time We were together physically is when we agreed to be boyfriend and girlfriend I think if you decide to explore a relationship by the third or fourth date, that's okay, too Exploring a relationship doesn't mean forever after it just means you're exploring a relationship and taking yourself off the dating apps Because those are clusterfuck anyway So I would prefer if people date one person at a time and explore a relationship sooner rather than later That's my invitation for everyone All right, great question. Thank you so much. I want to thank allison for the dollar 99 super sticker. Thank you so much uh all right Let's see what we have here bump bump bump bump Um The loo says I told question. I told I want to go visit my parents. He said when are we going there? I have so many friends in that country. I was in shock. Why is he going with me there? I don't know. How long have you been dating?  Do you guys see each other frequently? I can't tell you that one But thanks for asking anyway all right You know folks, uh, I'll leave this last minute if you have a personal question of me I'll wrap up if you want to if you have a personal question of me You have you want to ask I will wrap up with one of those before we wrap up today's podcast I really appreciate uh, you all um being so kind and generous in your question so far So I'll leave the last one for a personal question of me And then we'll wrap up for the evening. I might let it go Um, all right. Jamie says Jonathan Before you met your wonderful girlfriend. Were you on the verge of giving up? If so, how did you deal with the feeling of wanting to throw in the towel? so I didn't give I didn't go on the verge of giving up because I knew I would always and I always knew I'd meet someone special I I always knew that in my heart of hearts So it's kind of what I teach in my private coaching By the way, there's a link to schedule a discovery call with me to see if working with the coach is right for you But I stopped putting in the ice. I really cut back my effort Because I was getting to the point of trusting I I just said god universe spirit I trust that you will deliver the right person into my life Not from a giving up my power perspective or making without making an inspired action But I basically said I'm gonna operate from gut An instinct And my instinct said to to meet with her. We had known each other for over a year on a dating site It's a long distance dynamic. I happen to be traveling there. So in a way Officiating the wedding was a great impetus for me being there But I always knew there was something about her I liked and when we met it was kismet from that point thereafter Really, it didn't really take off until she came to visit me But I will say this I didn't give up I just stopped trying so hard. That's all just stopped trying so hard. Great question. Thank you so much and I want to thank Debra for debbie for the four dollar nine nine cents super sticker. Thank you so much folks I really want to thank you all for the kind contributions to the conner as a scholarship fund There's gone right there. I really appreciate that.

The first two hours of my day watching YouTube videos is at bed. But we have SoulCycle on 11, I kind of want a coffee, I think we're going to make one at home this time. Probably get a little bit of studying in before I head to Seoul, so let's get this thing started. SoulCycle, just like water bottles, shoes. I want to bring an outfit because I want a shower in there. I just feel like I have so much studying I need to do today that I want to leave the workout and be ready to start my day. And not having to come home, shower, it just takes a lot of time. I recently purchased something from the Renta Runway sale. I honestly haven't even looked at it, but I was thinking I would wear it today. Oh, it's so cute! A little jumpsuit. I thought it'd be adorable. And when I work out at places, I love just bringing like one thing. So I'm not worrying about like a top and bottoms and all that stuff. So I'll try this on at SoulCycle. It should fit. It looks like it'll fit. It is so cute. And I got it for like $30. Great, let's go to SoulCycle. Like, I don't know. I feel like I'm skinnier in this thing. Well, I've been doing this whole weight loss journey, so I'll pop the video up here. But I tend to lose like 5 pounds. I'm going to make some pain. I haven't eaten anything today. And I also want to do a little online shopping just because my boss this week was like, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. You need to dress more professional. Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. Working in academia is very, um, it's not like working in tech. I'll tell you that. So I'll probably, I think I'm going to give myself a budget of like $50 to $100 and see if I can get like maybe two or three blouses and like some dresses that are just like high cut, can't see nothing. After that, I'll be studying today. Me and my friend, Langston, might need up and see the Barbie movie. So that's going to be my little study break. But let's start this montage. Great. Who doesn't like love statistics? Like the best thing ever, you know? So I want to make a little protein smoothie with it. I got this like peanut butter chocolate protein shake like powder because I really liked their plain ones. So I was like, let me try a flavor.  And then I will allow my, my things to charge and take a little break. Eating a chocolate bar or something. Like it's very, very sweet. I wasn't expecting that. I'm going to watch something. Where are you guys watching? With this writer's strike, literally the only thing you can really watch is reality TV. So I've been watching a lot of Love Island, a lot of real housewives of Atlanta.  The way we cannot get Barbie tickets, it's literally actually insane. The wait time is six minutes just to see if there's like tickets available at the theater. Is that not insane? I will take anything at this point. I just want to see Barbie. So I just tried three theaters and all of them were sold out. I'm going to still try, but should we have a contingency plan? Maybe we should book the tickets now then if we're going to go tomorrow. Another movie. Oh my God. Sunday Night Hawk is sold out after yoga. That's a possibility. Yikes. Am I just going to have to see this movie next week? A little Barbie makeup. I'm sure you can see. I hope you like. I'm just going to wear my hair like this. I don't even know what it is, but I think it's kind of cute. So I'm just going to do that. I think Lace is going to come over here. Oh, we got tickets to Barbie by the way. I greeted the practice problems I did today and I got like an eight out of 10. I'm happy with it. The two that I got wrong, I like knew I was getting them wrong while I was doing them. I was like, I don't know what's happening. Yay. That's even to our students. It's like an agenda of what we're going to do today. But I feel like every time I do that, it doesn't go to plan. The shed hair. I have a protein shake before I washed and like did my hand stuff. But I should definitely probably eat something.  I'll probably like onions, spinach. And maybe have some tomatoes on the side and like some smoked salmon. I just think going into teaching two classes, I'm going to get a little protein. So I'm going to do that and then we're going to head to the other studio. Wow. I hope you guys are having fun with me. I'm like, I feel like I haven't really been doing anything. Oh, I did want to shake a something. I got this book, Why Men Love Bitches. I decided to get it because I just have been like not having the best luck with dating. I mean, honestly, I haven't really met anyone that I really liked. That one guy from a few vlogs ago, but I haven't heard from him since. So I'm just like patiently waiting for him to like hit me up, I guess. But in the meantime, I want to read this book because I read it a few years ago and the three guys I did after reading this book all asked me to be their girlfriend. I also think that it's me. It's me. Like I will like someone and then the moment commitment comes, I'm like, I don't think I like you that much. I want you to dating a little bit more serious. So I thought this will be a really good refresher. And if you haven't read it, I highly, highly recommend it. I like literally just skimmed the table of contents and I was like, you know what? This is already given some gems. Also, I got the book Youth and then look there's like the cute class of like design and development section. 1999 to max all the best with the future. Wayne Peters. This is kind of why I love to use books. But yeah, so I might read this and then eat my lunch and then is it lunch, dinner or breakfast? I don't know. Anyway, let's go to the yoga studio. I just love living. Check in with you guys. So I just taught me two classes. I teach a CT class in a core restore on Sundays. My hair doesn't look too, too bad. I think you might have saw it. I put it up in like just two little buns. I mean, it's not perfect, but I kind of like the volume it has to but hopefully it will fall as I spend time at the movies watching Barbies. Also, do you guys like my Barbie outfit? I think it's so cute. I don't like backup Barbie outfit, but it still has the vibes. It has the Barbie vibe. So I'm really excited. They literally did like a Barbie class today. Langston's going to meet me at the theater in like 15 minutes. So let's go.


Vita Pereira emerged again last night as the favourite to take the job, Fahad Masheiri, apparently ignoring his own board in wanting him to come in as the manager, the board seemed like they're pushing for Frank Lampard to take over. And then this morning he came in and said that Vita Pereira may not want the job because of fan criticism, there's been some graffiti on Gouldersham Park overnight and a lot of negativity on social media, but Vita Pereira then ended up on Skysport News doing an interview this afternoon saying that he still wants the job. He said he wants to bring the fighting spirit back to Everton, he mentioned the Everton greats like Phil Jagielke and Tim Howard and Leighton Baines as an example of the Everton players that he wants to show those kind of players, he mentioned the fans and he said he wants the job and it would be up to the board. Now he said he was waiting round and to see where the decision was and when it would be. He said his track record speaks for himself, he has a way of doing things, he's spoken to the club and he's just waiting for that phone call now. It was a very strange interview I must admit, it was very strange for a manager to put themselves forward after he'd had an interview. This guy was definitely trying to sell himself to the Everton fans. I've never seen that quite done before in the manner it was done, it was very very strange to watch. It was a little bit cringewavy, it felt like it was being put up to it by somebody but it did feel very very strange and we'll have to see what kind of effect that has. Frank Lampard has emerged as a big favourite amongst the fans simply because if it's down between him and Vita Pereira, Everton fans want him. We've done a poll, 7,500 of you took part in the poll and 95% won Frank Lampard. Now I don't think 95% of people won Frank Lampard outright but between those two men it does seem like Frank Lampard is going to get the job. They want him to get the job and that's the corner we've boxed ourselves into now. So a fairly strange situation but I haven't got to get this sorted. The transfer window shuts on Monday. Vita Pereira was asked about that as well, I asked the transfers and he said obviously I've got targets. He said I would just be a coach and that would be down to other people to do the job. One person that might be is Tim Kale who's been linked to a role at Everton this week and again today. So we'll have to wait and see whether Tim Kale will maybe come in as well if a manager comes in as a new team to take Everton forward. We're going to have to wait and see, there's no final decision and again it keeps on going from one side to another. One minute you think Lampard might be the favourite or Rooney has been mentioned or Vita Pereira. We still don't know, we're still none the wiser and it's going to be interesting to see how the people that haven't react to what Vita Pereira has done today. Tomorrow's another day, isn't it? In other news, Ellis Sims has gone on loan to Haarts. Obviously he started the first game in the Premier League against Chelsea, hasn't had nothing since and he's going to go to Haarts for the rest of the season. Obviously he signed a new three-year contract this year as well so a good opportunity to start playing football. Obviously Benny Benningley's up there, he went permanently at the beginning of the season as well so he'll get to play with his mate again so he's gone on loan. There's talk that Lewis Dobbin may be set to sign a new contract that Evan. He's free at the end of the season to leave but the talk is that he might be edging closer to getting a new contract which is good. Evan won't want him to sign one, it's down to the player and whether he thinks his future is at Everton. Fixture, news, Everton's game against Spares has been moved to Monday the 7th of March from the Saturday. So on Monday night game when we play away to Spares 7th of March and it's still the window, it's still open. Evan have been linked with Thomas Muller today buying Munich's legendary number 10 has been linked with this today. From actually a really good source in Germany, Christian Faulk has linked them. He said Newcastle were after him and Evan were after him, he's contacted. He's got 18 months left on a contract, he's been linked with this today and Newcastle. So interest number one pretty much out of left field, can't see it happening but there you go.

is right here. I have box one, two, and three. You sent me three boxes, and I have to open them in order. Hey, fellow buddies, thanks for watching. On my little pony. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. Hey, fellow buddies, thanks for watching. So just ignore this stuff back here. That's stuff that's coming to what not, or I'm gonna be listing it or something. It's just stuff. What we're gonna focus on is right here. I have box one, two, and three. And these are from Terri Mindful Recycle.  Check out her channel. It is incredible, but she sent me some boxes to open, and I'm gonna do a video. And the last time she did this, I'm gonna say it was probably close to two years ago, and it was so much fun. She sent me like these little clues, and I had to guess what the things were, but I don't know what she did this time, but she sent me three boxes, and I have to open them in order. So let's see what Terri's up to. Again, that is Terri Mindful Recycle.  She is incredible. Okay, so we're gonna see what she sent me here. I'm so excited. Okay, let me see if I can get it open. I did cut off all the dresses and all of that stuff, but I hurt my shoulder the other day when I go like this. Ooh, I think it was when I was doing that whatnot show, and I had to like lean all the different ways to pick up the stuff I was selling. Oh my goodness. Okay, here we go. Courtney, this is just for you to read. So this is private. I'm gonna read that later. Okay. You can read this one out loud, or not if you decide to do this, if you decide to do a video on this. Okay, well, of course I'm gonna do a video. Okay, it says, Courtney, I wanted to send you another mystery box because it's just so fun, but mostly because I really appreciate you and everything you have done for my channel. There is no way I would have gotten monetized without you. So this is a monetized celebration, sending a little love in each package. I wasn't going to do the clue thing again, but couldn't help myself, LOL, Terry. Okay. So Terry is a member of my Bolo Buddies YouTube channel and she does get shout outs because she's a member, but she's fantastic. And you guys, I shout out people even if they're not members. I have a Facebook group where you can go and share your Bolo's and your Bolo's will be featured even if you're not a member. So I still hope people that are not members. Terry is incredible. So, yeah, just check her out. Okay. Do you recognize this design and creator? Ooh. Ooh. This is my clue. All right, you guys, help me out here. Do you, I feel like I do, but I'm not really sure. I'm gonna give you guys a close up because I bet you, some of you may know. Is it Daisy Kingdom? Ooh, I'm probably wrong. I'm so bad. If you go back and watch my other video, I'll try to pop it up and share it down in the description. I failed miserably at the clues. I am not a trivia person at all, but it's fun to try. Okay, let's see what we got here. Okay. This is so fun. Oh, it's Mary Englebright. I should have known that. Okay, so this is Mary Englebright Stationery. And I talk about Mary Englebright all the time. I knew it was Daisy Kingdom or something that I have talked about before or sold because I kind of knew the pattern, but I kind of didn't. And I do talk about this brand all the time. So I recently did a video on Bolo Stationery and Terry was featured because, oh my goodness, she hit the jackpot. So that video looks like this. Go check it out. Okay, thank you, Terry. I'm excited to check these out. Okay. Who was always in Mr. McGregor's garden? The bunny. Oh, the bunny. Peter Rabbit, right? Peter Rabbit? He's from our right? I just want to know if I'm right. She's so funny. Can you imagine how long this took her to come up with all these clues and little, oh, I think you're right. Wait for me, wait for me. Okay. Oh, these are so cute.  Oh my goodness, I can't. I can't, they're so cute. Oh, look at this one. Bunny costume seals. They are adorable. Oh, thank you, Terry. They're so cute. Okay. Okay. Oh, I got packaging material right here. What ornaments are made by someone with the initial CR and has a little star logo? Careful, hand-blown and fragile. I know this is, this is Christopher Radko. I know that symbol and I know CR. Christopher Radko. What did she send me? Christopher Radko is amazing. All right. She's like, be careful as I'm like shaking it around. I don't want to, okay. Let's see what we have here. Oh my goodness, there's two. Oh my gosh, it's so cute. It's a little bug and it says just married. And love on the front. How cute is that? Christopher Radko. So it's a glass ornament. Oh, it's got a little windshield a wiper's painted on. Oh, that is cute. Oh, I love it. Okay. The next one is a, it looks like a wedding cake. And it's got a 20 on it. Look at what that means, 20. So I'll have to look it up, but that is Christopher Radko also. And you can see the little star up there. That is how you know. So I wonder if these go together. Like it's a wedding cake and a car. Thank you, Terry. Thank you so much. And I will have Terry linked down below. I'm guessing if you saw the stationery video a while back, you're probably already sub to her because you're right. Like, whoa, she's incredible. All right, we have another little, there's no clue. She didn't give me a clue. All right. Oh, how cute is this? It's a little music box. You have to wind it on the bottom and I bet it moves around. How cute is that? I'm not going to wind it because then we'll be listening to it. But I bet, I bet it plays a Christmas song. That is so cute. Look how darling that is. That's cute. I'm going to sit that one up there. So like, don't break it. Okay. This one says top. Guess what it is? I don't know, but I'm guessing I have to open it from the top. I know I need a box cutter.  I have, I've pinched myself actually with the scissors in the middle. Okay, what is this? Oh, it's in there. It is in there. It says, now this is something I don't know. Quilteen Katie, first edition 2000 special friends featuring the artwork of Sherry Buck Baldwin. 2000, Lang and Wise. So the last time she sent me a box, I listed everything and I have been selling the items. Like, I think I'm almost sold out honestly, but everything she sent me was incredible. So I'm guessing this is a really neat, incredible piece also, look how cute it is. So there she is. So I got to look all this stuff up. I'm not familiar with this. So she has me stumped. She has me stumped on this one. And I have another packaging box. All right, awesome. I'm going to sit this back here. You guys, there's something else in here. And packaging material, bubbles. Okay, here, we have a clue. So if you recognize the other pattern, this one is the same creator. Was this the Mary Engelbreit? Is that what she's referencing? So Terry shops, yep, at a lot of estate sales and she finds some really amazing stuff. Okay, what on earth is this? Mary Engelbreit's Ann Estelle. Oh my goodness. It's all fancy. Oh my goodness, she is darling. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness, her cowgirl boots. You guys, I can't.  Let me move this hat over. She has little cowgirl boots. That is darling. So that is by Mary Engelbreit's Ann Estelle. So cute. The Robert Toner Doll Company. I feel like the Funky Pickle Thrifter just sold a doll by that company. I'll have to go look. I think I featured it in one of my Bolo Buddies videos.  Okay, so we are going on to box two. Oh boy. Is that a word? Let me cut it open. All right, let's do this. Okay, who puts out the best Christmas Carnival ride items? That's gonna probably be Mr. Christmas, right? Maybe? Let's see if I'm right. Mr. Christmas. I know, Terry. I know how you soars. Oh, these are so cool. It's a little Ferris wheel. Animated musical Ferris wheel. It says, try me. Oh my goodness, it's a music box. Wow, that is super cool. Man, I'm doing pretty good. I am guessing right. Oh no, it's America round. Oh my goodness, and it plays Jingle Bells. These are so stinking cute. Look, I've not seen these before. I love them. Oh my goodness, I love them. Okay, let's see what else we have. I wonder if I'm supposed to do... Well, this has writing, so wait. This is just because I know you love vintage toys, especially from Japan. She's so sweet. I do love vintage toys from Japan. It's one of my favorite things to sell. Okay. Oh, it's so cute. So cute. It's, whoa, don't break it. It is by Takara, T-A-K-A-R-A, Japan. I've not heard of it, but look how darling it is. And it's got the little doors that open. And it's got some paper in here. And it looks like it's got a little drawer vanity thing inside. It was sitting in here. And the little drawers, oops, it's upside down. The little drawers open and shut. It's so cute. And there's a couple of hangers in here. Oh my goodness, it's so cute. Love that. And it's got a mirror. You guys, it has a mirror for real. How stinking cute. I love it. All right. What's in this one? It's like Christmas. Oh my goodness. I love it. I don't know what it is, but I love it. Copyright Shackman, another made in Japan. Look at it. Oh, wobbly legs. I don't know. It's probably something fancy.  Look, there's a little tag on the back. How cool is that? She can sit, put her arm up. Hello, hello everybody. It's so cute. It's incredible actually. I love it. I love it. Okay, let's move on to box three.
