Silver Cross’ Dazzle umbrella stroller is absolutely beautiful! As I ordered it I wondered if it would perform nearly as well as the Maclaren strollers.  It does! It was very hard for me to decide which color to choose but finally decided on the Grape.

The fashionable design of the stroller is impeccable. The covered wheels and the “hidden” storage compartment beneath make the stroller sleek and beautiful. The brushed aluminum frame is a delight.

Functionally, the wheels are larger than most umbrella strollers, which is a God-send living in NYC. The wheels roll over most cracks in the concrete and up and down brownstone stoops.  The chair fully reclines making the stroller usable from birth.  Folding the stroller is a cinch and it is extremely light weight without feeling wobbly. The stroller comes with a rain cover. An accessory kit is also available for the stroller, just not in the USA.

Which brings me to the one thing about this stroller I wish were different. The brake can not be put on the back wheels when the stroller is folded. Why does this matter? When you are on the subway or bus and you want the stroller to stand and stay put; the Dazzle will roll. This design is simply for people who do not ride public transportation. On the one hand I feel slighted but then again, it is a Silver Cross……

Lady Frieda Harris’s illustration of the Two of Cups is by far my favorite.  For me the card embodies the simplicity and beauty of the search for love; the duad.

This card shows how the monad, the androgynous soul, has divided to form the duad, feminine and masculine energies. Unstable in its brief existence, the dyad symbolizes an exchange of love between two people.  The interaction is always moving toward becoming larger than the two beings themselves. The duad always wants to become a triad. Becoming a triad happens without effort. True emotions of intense and delightful emotions create a third entity; a relationship. The relationship birthed from the mixing of male and female energies is more stable than the dyad itself.

The relationship created by bringing together masculine and feminine energies is always bigger than the participating individuals. Furthermore, each participant is in someway in service to the other. It is the transfer of energies that helps keep the relationship moving, growing and pure.

It has been a long while since I have written an entry and even longer since I wrote an original entry.  I am back and will be with you all through the rest of 2008 and all of 2009.

A little something on why I was not here. Asherah-Dey. Born at home on September 22nd at 6:16 pm, the latest addition to my family is calm and healthy . She is quite a looker, sweet and very pleasant baby.  She and Alana have been my focus since summer.  It has been a joy to have a different perspective on life.

I have unfortunately been shy about posting pictures because of a few weird emails from folks. The truth is, I am so proud and can’t wait to blast her picture around the world.

Isn’t she sweet?

My man is on a plethora of mailing lists and often times I read and actually like some of the information presented. The following is an example of such. I’d like to thank The Shrine of Ma’at International for sharing this. In the spirit of community I share this list with all of you.

Intent in communication is significant in everyday verbal and physical intercourse. Those of us without understanding of our direct link to Spirit often dupe ourselves. Not following or being aware of Spirit’s message, can result in one’s destiny being twisted by the intent of others.

Meditation can lead you to being more aware of yourself, your environment and those who are in your sphere. Without the understanding to trust the signals you receive from Source, you are defenseless and powerless over your true destiny. Taking responsibility for not trusting information provided you by Source is paramount to moving on from experiences which have left you surprised, weakened and exposed.

Sure in a perfect world people should always come to one another open handed and in truth. However, reality is quite different. Many people come with undeclared and hurtful intentions. When you ignore your gut/intuition/Knowledge from Source, you open the door way for those undeclared and often times negative intentions to manifest.

Take responsibility for your lack of awareness. Awareness enables you to never depend on another’s intentions for truth. Your intrinsic knowledge which flows from Source will provide you with all that you need to operate safely and effectively in the world. Your lessons will be welcome and not so painful. Open to Source and Trust the God in you.
