A Love Like This. 🤍

Last night, Daddy Du took his Spirit walk.

My heart is heavy, but it’s also overflowing with gratitude. Every ounce of grief I feel today is only possible because of the incredible love we were blessed to experience.

I always say my greatest abundance is my husband and my family. Marrying into the McAnderson, Frye, and Monroe families has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. To know Arthur “Honest Art” Frye was to witness integrity, kindness, humility, and unconditional love. An Air Force veteran, an incredible husband to Grandma Charlotte, a devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather—his legacy lives on in every life he touched.

So much of the man my husband is today is because of Daddy Du. And that legacy continues through our boys. When we shared the news with them, we held each other close and talked about what an honor it is that our oldest son, Brandon Arthur McAnderson, carries his name. What a beautiful gift.

Daddy Du loved golf, and today the boys are heading to the course. I can’t think of a more meaningful way to honor him than by doing something he loved and feeling close to his Spirit with every swing.

And I’ll never hear Al Green, Michael Jackson, or Stevie Wonder the same way again. Those songs will always carry a piece of him.

I’m grateful for my relationship with Spirit because I know this isn’t goodbye. It’s a shift in relationship. Love doesn’t end—it simply changes form.

Today, we grieve. We remember. We play the music. We golf. We love each other a little tighter. And we honor Daddy Du by living fully, loving deeply, and carrying his legacy forward.

We love you, Daddy Du. Thank you for showing us what a love like this looks like. 🤍

We are celebrating!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

BLAQUE Kansas City just received a $13 million grant to fund Teach KC — bringing 1,500 new teachers to the Kansas City region over the next 10 years.

As a parent, I’ve always believed who is in the room with our children matters. Not just what they’re teaching — but whether our kids can look up and see themselves.

This grant is building real pathways into the classroom for educators who reflect our community, understand our children, and are rooted right here in KC.

¡Hoy celebramos este gran paso!

BLAQUE Kansas City acaba de recibir una subvención de 13 millones de dólares para impulsar Teach KC, una iniciativa que traerá 1,500 nuevos maestros a la región de Kansas City durante los próximos 10 años.

Como mamá, siempre he creído que quién está presente en la vida de nuestros hijos importa. No solo por lo que les enseñan, sino porque nuestros niños merecen mirar al frente y verse reflejados en quienes los guían.

Esta inversión está creando oportunidades reales para que más educadores que representan a nuestra comunidad, comprenden a nuestros niños y tienen raíces aquí mismo en Kansas City lleguen a las aulas.

Conoce más sobre Teach KC a través del enlace en mi biografía y sigue a @blaquekc para enterarte de todo lo que este trabajo está haciendo posible para los estudiantes y las familias de Kansas City.

Today, I get to celebrate one of the greatest blessings across every quadrant of my life—our love.

What makes this season even more meaningful is that so many of the celebrations closest to my heart seem to circle back to you. Summer Solstice. Father’s Day. Our anniversary. Days that honor Light, love, presence, growth, and family. And at the center of all of them is you.

You are my Sun. ☀️

When we said “I do,” we had no idea that our anniversary would align with the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year—a day that celebrates abundance, vitality, growth, and the peak expression of Light.

Over the years, life has taught us that no matter what seasons come our way, Light always returns. And through every season, you have been that Light for me.

You are the sunshine in my life. The steady presence that reminds me what matters most. I see your Light reflected everywhere—in our children, in the beautiful life we’ve created together, in the laughter we’ve shared, and in the challenges we’ve navigated side by side.

We’ve lived many lifetimes within this lifetime. We’ve celebrated victories, weathered storms, grieved losses, dreamed new dreams, and somehow, through it all, we continue to choose one another.

I truly believe our souls would find each other in every lifetime. And in this one, I am endlessly grateful that we continue choosing each other, day after day, year after year.

Thank you for the love you pour into our family. Thank you for being the father our children are blessed to call their own. Thank you for being my greatest adventure, my safest place, and my best friend.

I love you with every cell in my being.

Feliz aniversario, mi amor.

Happy Summer Solstice.

Gracias por ser mi Luz, mi hogar, y mi Sol.🌞

As a mom, and someone who creates spaces for my children to learn, this one hits different.

I was so excited to discover what BLAQUE KC is building — because they’re doing something rare: molding education around what children and families actually need, not the other way around.

Take a moment. Look at the Blueprint. Imagine what your child could be in a community that puts their emotional safety, well-being, and growth first.

That’s the kind of education all of our children deserve — and BLAQUE KC is doing the work to make it real right here in Kansas City.

The reason I created my apprenticeship is simple.

I want to hold space for people to find their own medicine — and to do this work with integrity and reciprocity.

If aesthetics and making money are the only reasons you want to learn energy work and Spirit Work, this is not for you.

If you want deep, grounded, intentional work — the kind that makes you look at yourself, walk this path with integrity, and become an open and clear channel for the Creator — then this is for you.

What the container holds:

Weekly connection points. Virtual gatherings. One-on-ones. Clearing work. Learning different modalities. Guest speakers, teachers, and elders. And practicing — on real people — within a Sacred space I hold.

6-Month Apprenticeship Program
Investment: $5,555
Payment options available.

We start this month.

One spot left.

If you feel the call — DM me.
