REFLECTIONS OF “THE SHED”

Dec 20, 2019 REFLECTIONS OF “THE SHED”

Yes, this event has came and gone but I need to express some other feelings that I have. This will be with me for a lifetime.

I contacted some people who inspires EG to send me a get well video. The kind of inspiration that is indescribable. A few were celebrities but others were just flat out good people and had no idea how EG felt about them. Crafton Barnes did a great job making one video for me to play over a screen projector. Sidebar: If you need any work done website, videos and so much more he is the MAN. (He is the only person we would refer)

Being a wife who has the same interest as her husband all together. I have the inside scoop on E more than any interview, clip or person alive currently. Many things have changed for him after gaining a clear mind and responsibilities. So that’s why it’s easy for me to plan things for him without second guessing.

I played those clips at the beginning of The Shed and EG was choked up. There were a couple I selected to play for him the night before the actual surgery so that he would know he had people he looked up to cheering him on. AND IT WORKED!

I fulfilled everything on that list for that event. I prayed for strength and guidance then put forth the faith, work, finances and persistence. The only thing that wasn’t fulfilled was the special guest but I had no control over him falling ill. He sincerely and wholeheartedly apologized but one will never need to apologize to me for being sick. It just beez that way.

This event couldn’t have been better. Everyone left with pure inspiration including us.

My VENT:
The ONLY disappointment I got were from people who couldn’t attend. Rules were set in stone the first day I announced it 5 months in advance. Because of what I was contributing to a family in need, I didn’t expect for people to actually want free entry, call days before asking to put people on a guest list who wasn’t going participate. (This wasn’t a GIG) Needless to say, some friendships that was or could’ve been ended along with 2019. And I have NO regret.
Let’s get this straight…..
The favors you do for EG is just that. Anything that say LADY G 👠 presents, has nothing to do with favors you’ve done for EG.
That was MY dream, MY hard earned money, MY research and MY heart put into giving something special for the musical world as well as helping a family. I’m definitely not one who break easily. People took some donations back because they couldn’t have it their way. 🤷🏽‍♀️ COLD BLOODED!!
I am fair, but rules are set in place for a reason. It helped me to make sure everyone could eat all night as promised, along with souvenirs and other surprises.

For the attendees, I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people. Making it through the door meant, you followed rules and showed the utmost respect for the Gales family. We are very grateful for your support and you will hold a special place in our hearts.

Many have called after hearing about the success wanting to donate towards the next SHED. Between touring, medical appts and our first honeymoon in 2020 I’m just more focused on us this year.
Yes, you read it right. For our 8th wedding anniversary we finally said time for an overdue honeymoon. We’ve worked nonstop since the day we said I DO. So we will NOT be on anyone’s stage on our wedding anniversary. That’s NOT a day I want to celebrate with the world anymore.

I will end here because I’ve taken enough of your time. Some will be offended but I chose not to call any names. It was more than a few who showed their true selves. But good people always override the selfish ones.

My long disclosure for 2020:

The band that I participate in is called Eric Gales on the bill. We call ourselves TeamEG and not band for a reason.

The name on the bill is the most important member of the band who is often imitated but CAN’T be replaced.

Here is an important fact before we start touring again. I have had more responsibilities than any other band member for 7.5 yrs. I troubleshoot a lot while on the road. If I leave now, I know without a doubt everything will change including the one’s who’ve been loyal.

I’ve seen the sneakiness that goes on when people start to see $. We have been based off of love, loyalty and family. Money won’t ever change that. I heard the phone calls made to my husband throughout 2019 (thinking it was private😂) by people who have made empty promises already. You try to fast talk my husband but know that his WIFE (first) is listening and not falling for your foolery. I always leave the final decision up to him because it’s his career but things you’ve gotten away with before me won’t happen now.
Often times he will ask what do I think and the only thing I say is NO. He doesn’t question my answer because he knows I have stuck with him when others left after stealing from him and making him feel less than.

I feel as though I haven’t been able to do my best and dedicate to one job because I’ve had to multi-task. Every job I have is very demanding and as I sit here I have no idea how I’ve handled so many demands while trying to be a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, godmother and friend.

So somethings gotta give in 2020!!!

So please enjoy ERIC after the shows. Every year we all get older and I realize that I get burnt out quickly now. I don’t sleep while everyone else sleep. When I’m on stage I neglect some things, so I have to make up for it after shows. I mainly sleep while we travel.

There is so much that I need to handle this year in order to be able to follow my own dreams. Distractions are not welcomed. The less I engage the better MY experience will be. It’s time for LaDonna to be selfish a bit.
I’ve helped a lot of people in this world, some I know but mostly others I don’t.

My life is a lot different now. I have shared and let many of you in my world but please know you still don’t know me. As much as you would like to relate to me just know there are things still untold. There is a lot more to my story that close minded people wouldn’t begin to understand. And yet I always try to remain a Lady..
Silence won’t kill me and it doesn’t matter who it offends. I’m saving my own life before I get lost in this world.
