#6 Sunshine Of Your Love (Cream) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
It’s getting near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I’ll soon be with you my love
Give you my dawn surprise
I’ll be with you darling soon
I’ll be with you when the stars start falling🪄
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love🪄
I’m with you my love
The light’s shining through on you
Yes, I’m with you my love
It’s the morning and just we two
I’ll stay with you darling now
I’ll stay with you ’til my seas are dried up🪄
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love🪄
I’m with you my love
The light’s shining through on you
Yes, I’m with you my love
It’s the morning and just we two
I’ll stay with you darling now
I’ll stay with you ’til my seas are dried up🪄
I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love

The Prosperity of Living

“Woman must be the pioneer in this turning inward for strength. In a sense she has always been the pioneer.”

Anne Spencer Morrow Lindbergh (American Author and Aviator; June 22nd, 1906 ~ February 2nd, 2001)

“The return of good times is not wholly a matter of money. There is a prosperity of the pocketbook,”

Ladies’ Home Journal (Editorial; October 1932)

“”It is not enough to be willing to make the best of things as they are. Resignation will get us nowhere. We must build what amounts to a new country. We must revive the ideals of the founders. We must learn the new values of money. It is a time for pioneering—to create a new security for the home and the family…Where we were specialists in living.”

Ladies’ Home Journal (Editorial; October 1932)

“Are you ready to become a pioneer?”

“I am committed to being a pioneer to find my new place in this portion of my life. It is all new territory, but I am brave, courageous and persistent. I am in action to create new possibilities in my life toward a life of abundance.” (Heather Houston 1-22-22)

“Wow…flash forward and I am living abundantly. Merely BEing present in my life in each moment has given me access to see and appreciate the abundance everywhere. I am so thankful to have learned this skill.” (Heather Houston 1-22-26)
