Ask Ladii

11-19-19 Humbled and blessed by Ladii Going to the grocery store has always been a trigger for anxiety. When asked to go, I could feel my inside going crazy. I know we have to eat and I know we needed things around the house. So I would ask my one daughter to go with me so that she could calm me down in case I felt anxious. I used to love shopping, because I didn’t worry about money, no let me take that back and start that statement over, I used to live shopping because I DIDN’T KNOW THE VALUE OF A DOLLAR. I always had bills from the time I had my first daughter. My husband worked like a slave horse in the Midwest. I never kept a shopping list or a calculator, I would just grab whatever my stomach wanted. In my head I thought, it doesn’t matter I want it therefore I’m gonna buy it. Then when I hit the register I paid for it and it would always be well over what I expected. As time went on and the bills could not get paid, I didn’t want to spend any money not even on myself.

12-20-22 My Angel Baby Jamie I wasn’t feeling well since yesterday. I had anxiety and thought I needed to go to the hospital. I kept having heartburn and I took tums. It wasn’t working. I thought Stanley was gonna have to take me to the ER. I laid down to go to sleep, and I prayed and prayed. I thought I was gonna die. I asked God to not take me away because I need Jamie and Jamie needs me. I sang and sang over and over. Now, Miss Jamie had been awake since yesterday at 6pm..she didn’t go to sleep until I woke up. Me and Stanley tag teamed her although I was half sleep. Jamie didn’t go to sleep until 7:30am. Today. My thoughts came from God, your Angel baby had to watch over you while you sleep and now she can sleep! Hallelujah  And I feel better. Amen amen 

2-11-23 If I was starting over as an Author from 2010, or should I say todays age, I would have taken my writing seriously. I look back over the past 13 years and say to myself, “wow, I could have been a Best-seller Author by now.” God told me to do something different, just last year in 2022, that I did not do in 2011, is I hired a team of people who could help me in my journey as an Author. I now have a Publicist/Agent, an Author Assistant, a Manager, and a Wardrobe/Makeup Artist. I spend more time, staying positive and focused on being an Author and enjoying the journey. Ladii Patterson, born Antoinette Patterson, is an Author, a woman of God, a mother, wife, student, and social butterfly with a creative imagination. Ladii realized her potential to become a published Author when she wrote and published her first book “That Which Doesn’t Kill Me, Makes Me Stronger”, in 2011, a book of Poems and Inspiration during a time when her dad passed 3 years prior. Then, “If God Can Bring Me to...

From Rags to Riches: An Authors Point of View All my life, I have had a creative mindset. When I got older, I start writing a lot especially when my dad passed away. To anchor my hurt and frustrations I begin journaling about everything. I decided that I wanted to take the things I was writing and publish it which in turn began my life as an Author. After the first book was published, I had already had my daughter who has multiple disabilities. What the doctors said versus what God said was different and I wanted to tell her story as well. With each writing each became published books. I found that writing was my peace time and time again. I became an Indie Author, but what I didn’t know was that being an Indie Author came with a lot of marketing and the most important is spell check. Whew, no one mentioned that one to me. By the time I figured out how important those things was I was already past my 5th book. A Lifetime of Love was not my Indie book because I paid to have my book publ...

11-10-23 Marriage and how to have a long lasting one.. God (I know it may sound cliche but you have to have  Spiritual power source that you have in common) Allow the trials and tribulations to happen, when there’s a discussion to be had discuss it. No relationship is perfect.  Communicate often, always talk to each other about everything.  Respect each other boundaries and space. There are times that my husband will go to his man cave and I will go to my girl cave when necessary. I have been known to take a trip to regroup. Date night, date as often as possible, it doesn’t matter if it’s just getting ice cream.  Make it a habit of doing couple outings, who can understand the dynamics of a marriage than another couple.  Trust, without trust there is no relationship.  Be honest because honestly the best policy.  Think like you’re married, with a single mindframe can lead you the clubs into a situation of cheating.  When I wrote A Lifetime of L...
