Thank you. This was inciteful. You described the dilemma well. We single women who can camp are lucky to have the freedom that we have, yet everyone wants love. Everyone wants to know that there are people out there who care about us and our well-being. Affection is a great thing too. Good luck to you and to all the people who watch your videos.
I love your zeal for life and understanding the journey to make the most of your choices/decisions. Your laugh and smile are contagious, and the bunny hat brings out that when I see it in your videos! Keep making and I will keep watching!! Safe travels, Grace & Peace to all.
Thanks, Bev, that's an honest, informative video. It seems you've gained valuable insights from Date with Destiny. Your presentation was especially interesting because of vocal variety, facial expressions, good timing and editing. Well done 👍
I have had amazing experiences being a free spirited explorer and alot of times people like us have that void filled somewhat by traveling and exploring. Don't get me wrong, of course it is in our nature to desire a mate but I have seen people in miserable relationships, that if they picked up camping or rv'ing, they would leave that toxic relationship. Having endless options is a sense of freedom not everyone enjoys. It is def a double-edged sword. Heck I am camping in the appalachians in Nc right this minute 😊
I totally agree with you. I do love my free spirited travel adventures. Most of us don’t have many good examples of a passionate, beautiful relationship. I’m happy exactly where I am and by no means desperate. Lol. I love that you’re in the Appalachians.
I, and I'm sure all of your followers, would dearly love to see you in a loving, happy relationship Bev. I was lucky in mine. My wife was my first love, and my last. Although she passed a while ago, I had the joy of decades being with the one person who made my heart sing everytime I was with her, or even thinking about her. And that song still goes on today. You will have to compromise for it to work with the right person Bev, but don't ever give up being the person you are. Love from the UK. Phil
Namaste Bev, for what it is worth, here is my perspective regarding relationships. While relationships are a 50/50 Partnership, it still requires a 100% commitment from both parties to be successful. There are three basic elements to a relationship, the two partners as individuals and the partnership itself, so there is “you, me and us” and each element has to be attended to so to speak without the other elements lacking attention. A “balance” is created when the two individuals share the common desire to be a committed partner in the partnership and establish a foundation based on communication, commitment, compassion and compromise.
Brings back memories of my youth , meeting people on the road going in the same and other directions . It was a time of ' people in motion' as the song said. You are awesome , let your special ( gut feeling ) guide you . Thank you for being and your informative , uplifting videos . It would be the dream of many just to spend some time with you in person.
That part is fun and I do meet people on the road that fascinate me. You are very welcome. Thank you for watching and being on part of the journey with me.
Dating is challenging at best without Covid and being a nomad. You are attractive, articulate, and seem to have an introspective nature as well as a good sense of humor. I trust you will find your perfect match in the perfect way at he perfect time. And by the way, I think you should have the bunny hat as your trademark and use it as you sign off on every video!!
Wow second video I watched and you seem to be an amazing soul all I see is pure joy in your face and I hope you find whoever you're looking for I think they would be blessed to have you in their life keep doing you
What a great interaction , I love your bunny ears🤣 . Dating in general is tough . I’m just preparing to hit the road in my suv “ camper” while I find the perfect van for me . It’s scary and although I’m quite used to being alone so to speak .. it’s a different experience I am sure . My kids are grown and the last just left the nest , I’m widowed 7 yrs and for the first time in my life it’s is and can be all about me . Finding beautiful souls such as yourself to binge watch on RU-vid has been so helpful in my fear of the unknown . Thank you for your content 💜.
Your comment made my heart so happy. Yes, goddess it is time to be about you. It’s so fascinating to figure our what that’s like. Wishing you all the best.
Bev, great summary and share by you, thanks! Same age as you here, and tbh, there’s little to “building a life” with another at this stage. No new babies, already each have own family structure & dynamic, unlikely to fully co-mingle finances, etc. The die 🎲 is cast in our lives already. Then why do we date? Companionship to avoid loneliness. And yet, most people are both too picky of others to allow a person into their life completely, and too scared to commit fully “like a twenty year old newlywed” when the rare opportunity arises. So, I applaud and encourage passionate activities for us that allow us to be around people, groups, and to “set our compass”…because, unlike a young person with a long timeline who builds a life with a partner, there is no one person that will ever be enough in the short time we have left to keep moving in this life.
I'm 57. Live in a town of 5000. I'm in great shape, full head of hair, Nice looking, educated, traveler, blah...blah...I've given up on dating. Why? People have so much drama in their lives. I also live in a small area like yourself. The life you live (I presume you're happy) is nomadic, different and full of life. You're the opposite of most people out there. Stay single and date lightly. It's worked for me. Good luck.
I find it very interesting reading the different comments. So many of us are in the same boat! We have yet to reach the third level. I was in a 12year relationship with a very nice lady. But..... it was way to one sided and I honestly tried everything in the book and in hopes that would go full circle and come back to me and never did.The crazy part was that everything clicked in the bedroom! Relationship just don't happen, you have to keep them spiced up! I'm a very easy going person, maybe to easy, and yet I'm not saying I'm not without fault, it takes two!!! And yet we hear the same old comments, to much drama, I rather be by myself and so on! Alot of us are still looking for Mr. and Ms. right! But now I have totally different approach now! And that is Lord if there is a Ms right out there and it's meant to be, will you Bless Me with Her???? Amen! And Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤
@@BecomingBev always will be …the human condition is one of being in constant learning opportunities !! What I found in your video blog was - your acute awarenesses of what can make a good relationship good ….and lasting … It takes awareness and effort when a upset shows up …so I go to searching for “extreme goodwill” especially in those situations where i find myself upset with my partner. Finding Extreme Goodwill = finding the loving space inside of myself where I am able to let go of holding onto a position ( of being right and her wrong ) - and in that moment i realize it does not serve either of us - to remain upset - i see it as an opportunity to reestablish a loving communication style with my partner in a nurturing way …. But That takes a conscious effort and knowing alternative communication skills. It’s easier said than done. We rather like to be right!!! Lol.
@@bradbrown3073 There’s a saying “You can be right, or you can be loved”. I love how insightful your comment is and I love the idea of extreme good will.
I enjoy your videos that show me new places, I love the ones that make me laugh, but this one really made me think. It made me think about how I treat my husband (because he frequently is thinking about how to meet my needs), and it made me think deeply about the primary question of my life. Thank you for being open and sharing my friend. You are making a difference in people's lives by sharing your journey. 🤗
I can totally relate to the restless spirit. I’m trying to be more present and enjoy the relationships I’m building along the way. I have found I meet more possibilities when I’m out traveling then when I’m just in one spot. I love all the useful information you learned. You’re the best girl✌🏼🌹✨
🌸💜🌸💜 Absolutely is Breathtaking. Your energy is pure happiness & kindness with sweet & outgoing friendly smiles for all. I feel so lucky to have connected with you here🙏🏼💜🌸
Love the bunny hat, you are such fun. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience of dating in van life, I really appreciate your honesty and frankness of the subject, I have always found relationships a challenge and in the past have done Tony Robbins course on relationships , and my primary question is ‘ what can I learn from this” All the best with making the changes you want to achieve x
I've dated a couple times since becoming a nomad. The first time was really awkward. I pulled up to a restaurant in my box truck. She knew my story and was interested in seeing it. It was a good couple of dates, but son realized we on two different paths. Being 63, I think I'll just be single and see what happens. You have an awesome personality and you're very attractive (sexy) so you shouldn't have too much trouble. Good luck, Bev. ❤ (Love the bunny hat)
Hello Beautiful Sweet Sexy Intelligent, and very courageous Bev. I am new to your own channel, but every since the first time that I saw you several days ago on You tube, I have a lot of my free time watching your videos, and doing a lot of Wishful thinking. L0l. You are very good at creating your videos, and your beautiful voice is relaxing, sweet and keeps our attention, along with You also being So Very Beautiful, which I call Eye Candy. I better get back to watching your video about you dating, alone with me Doing a lot of Wishful thinking Take care and Be Blessed
Hi Bev, I couldn’t help but giggle as I kept looking at Brad look at you so lovingly. 🤣🤣🤣. I haven’t seen the hat in a long time. Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Stay safe.
That's funny how u explain it and enjoy tell all of us hope u still getting around great and it's awesome hear u talk!! Hope life is beautiful on the road for ya!!!
So, are you working on a book of everything you've been doing? I'm kinda envious of your van life but I'm just too set in my ways (right now) to go out on adventures. The way I see it there are plenty of adventures right hear near home, which is the state of Arizona. Thanks Bev.
I think my way of documenting the journey is through my RU-vid Channel. You’re right, same here. There are plenty of places Close to where I am that I haven’t explored.
I like the dimensions of dating idea. When I was younger I had the second dimension kind of as a goal but I tossed it when someone used a particular word to describe it. And then I said it with you : transactional. That bumped me out of the 2D rut and into freewheeling intentionality. Harder but more rewarding.
Yeah… a two dimensional relationship is very transactional. You do this for me and I will do this for you. I’m still trying to wrap my head around all of this.
And the videos: your date will know SO much about you right from the start. I think that's a good thing, as authenticity is on brand for you. They will really know you, not a curated version of you.
Very interesting. Lota of good stuff in there! I totally relate to the intense wanderlust that keeps one moving. That is so me right now too. And so, I have no expectation of a real relationship beyond friendships and family, which is fine with me right now since I feel I'm in the right groove. I have a great sense of purpose in my life and I think that's carrying me so happily through such a solo time. Partnership will come for me when and if it's meant to. Until then, I roll freely wherever I feel so inclined 😊 Thanks for sharing Bev 🙌 Oh, and the hat should totally be getting you dates!
Enjoying your channel, keep it going. My first vehicle was a 1965 Ford econoline van that I fixed up. I spent the summer on Hatteras Island in 1979, working in the campground I stayed in. My camp was beside the bathhouse, I had my weights with me, a tent with clothes and refrigerator. At 18-19, sleeping in a van was an adventure I’ll never forget. Then 1983 took a cross country trip in a 1963 Comet station wagon. So I was a temporary Nomad several times, before it was so popular.
Wow, you shared some strong and insightful wisdom here! Thank you for using your self discovery to help and encourage others, including me. I encourage you to develop where you feel you need to but I think your work area is bigger than you give yourself credit. Maybe your work just doesn’t feel like work because it is mixed with joy and satisfaction of inspiring other. I hope that’s the case anyway. I hope you grow your life coaching skills or something in that platform because you are definitely talented in communication.
Thank you!!! I love sharing this kind of content, in hopes that it resonates with someone. Looks like I’ve been blessed with and audience here on my RU-vid channel.
As a long haul Trucker I can relate. Being on the road constantly makes everyday life issues complicated no less something as serious as dating. Another great video and topic. Stay beautiful my friend
I deal with relationships more natural not to much thought that has worked for me…my eyes are open for red flags…but when I’m right with me I attract the right guy …i go slow …for clarity 🐬🐬🐬
In my final workplace before I retired early I had a song running through my head every day.. 'I've (weve) gotta get out of this place if its the last thing I ever do. 😂
Wow - a/k/a, The Video I've Been Waiting For 😋 8:29 You are so right; music to my ears! I've also been waiting to work up the miniscule amount of courage it should take to say the following: Bev, I have had such a huge crush on you ever since I first saw your early videos. I know I don't officially know you, but I don't care: I think you are a beautiful, wonderful woman. You are everything a man could want and more. I admire you so much. How outgoing and passionate you are, how you are willing to risk looking silly or failing at something, the relationships you have with your family, your daughters, and your friends. You are as concerned with self improvement and you are with making those around you better. Tony Robbins could probably learn something from YOU. I hope you find someone who isn't happy unless he's making you happy! 😊 You deserve nothing but the best. You're basically a goddess, I guess. 🥰🥰🥰
You are so bubbly, but a deep thinker. I love how you can really see inward and ask yourself questions, I am the same way only not bubbly. The ending made me laugh. Still so very attractive, only this time I can see you are attractive on the inside as well❤️. I’ve done quite a bit of traveling, but none of it was to explore. Idaho is still my favorite.
New Follower here I just have to say I think you are amazing I love the van, you are inspiring and very captivating. best of luck looking forward to watching new adventures
Wonderful sharing video, I enjoy that you have an awesome time with your bunny ears, I am sure you will meet the person who complements you very nicely. Keep warm.
I was a dialysis technician for 26 years, in this profession you have to come to dialysis three times a week just to sustain life. I saw all kinds of different types of people in different walks of life and the ones I always envied were the ones in that third relationship that you mentioned...... I was married for 15 years and I was in a relationship that was definitely felt very one-sided... So now I'm at the age of 58 and I actually am also discovering myself and I feel that I'm very happy with me and who I am... and I truly have no desire to be with anyone and I'm so happy.. good luck to you and I'm happy for you
Nancy thank you for sharing some of your story with me. I can’t imagine all that you witnessed working there. I’m not in a hurry for a relationship. I’m pretty happy with my own company. Lol.
I like you! You have "chutzpa" - and a real sense of pride (look at your van! It's very clean, blinged-out to the max & very girly! And you make me laugh. And thank you for reading "Brenda's Beaver Needs A Barber" to me, I was a delivery courier and about 4 or 5 years ago I saw that book in the window of a customer's beauty salon, and laughed my head off, took a picture of it, and have always wondered! All the girls at work, including the owner, who is female, laughed their heads off! So thank you! And, if I ever see you somewhere, you're damned right I'm gonna come right up to you and introduce myself! You're too much! Peace 😅❤
I have been searching for a 3 dimensional relationship for most of my life, it becomes exhausting being the only one showing love and compassion and empathy, wanting to please the woman that I'm with because it just feels so good express the love that's inside only to be taken for Granted. It causes a wall to form around your heart. And you just want to shut down inside.
@@BecomingBev yes you are correct, and when family and friends start to pick at the person you are with, you either listen to them or you explain to them that this is who I love and want to be with, because some won't admit it your happiness pisses them off and if you continue to let them intervene in your life you will find yourself Alone, the love of your life will get tired of fighting a losing battle that should have never been fought.
Good for you and good luck♥️I have to say I am not interested in dating at all. It’s too much trouble, lol. I had an 11 year relationship that went nowhere . I love being alone ! I wish I had take Tony’s course decades ago!!
your really a sweet person.....great insight...... hope you find your prince!!!! I can relate to feeling restless and having a hard time being still... think the stillness is where we find truth....
I think you’re right. Sometimes, In our stillness we find our truth. I believe we also find it living our lives, in the things we see and the people we meet.
Bev👸🏼❤️, your sense of humor, great information on relationships. You just need to find your kind of Craziness 😛😝😜 Wish You All Happiness Joy in the World 🌎
I'm had a very nice couple that I met once who were living in their van full time for the past few years talk to me for literally hours about why I should do the same thing and how much they thought I'd love it etc ... They answered my millions of questions ... they were great ... and just as we were getting ready to say 'goodbye', having already mentioned that I travel alone, the woman of the couple said "and besides, there are a lot of single women out there doing the same thing" ... there are? ... really? ... that made me go "hmmmmm"
I’m catching up on your videos in reverse and I’m so happy to see the hat again. You’re having so much fun with it. Did your date offer to pay parking? ........amateur lol.
Very interesting subject, the three dimensional relationship sounds like the ultimate relationship, I seem to attract women who are takers and always looking for what they can get form me.
Far too many like that out there, sadly. The world needs far more Bev's and much less of the others. The problem with Bev is that it would take one heck of a man to keep up with her. Where does she get all of that energy?
Hey Bev, I went to some similar sounding seminars many years ago. It's interesting to learn about what you didn't know what you didn't know.....I would like to make a date with you, I would like to see the campground and the magic bus you just got. 🤔
BEV, I know that you are a free spirit. You are a Beautiful, sensual woman. Attractive and appealing. I hope that you don't get stuck with someone who wants to hold you down. I hope that I get to meet you someday. I listened to your message seriously until the ...Rabbit ears.🤣. Stay Beautiful and safe travels.
Dating is difficult enough to find the right person, sounds like your dating guru has the right approach very interesting, I hope you never change who you are,your are very beautiful full of fun person you must have a book full of men wanting to be loved by you (including me) you really are so very special, stay safe love Mick x❤️🌹
Thank you for saying this Mike. I think that fundamentally we are who we are… I mostly like who I am right now. That said, I am a student of life and there is always something to learn.
Tony Robbins was incredible. I learned so much more than what I shared in this vid. Truly my life will never be the same. Hope you have an awesome day too.
I told my daughters. Don't look for love. The harder you look the lower your standards become. Let love fall right into your lap, then shove it off and run like hell. If he catches you ask to see his credit report....
I'm dating a man 10 years younger than me I'm 68 and we're together after 5 years it's going so good I wanted to ask you to do a makeup episode about makeup for woman over 55 I'd love to see that
Hi Bev ( what's going on pretty lady ) you are the queen of van life and need to be having someone who treats you as such I'm sure it will break every ones heard when you get taken off the market we all love your videos and you
