The Giving Tree

We recently had to chop down a tree that has been on our property for years. It brings me great sorrow because change is difficult for me. I have so many memories of Gracie and Molly playing under the tree and now that it's gone it's like a piece of Molly is gone as well. But with these changes, I begin anew.    Key Takeaways:    [0:46] I didn't like The Giving Tree when I read it  [1:37] How we bought the house we live in  [3:53] The early years of living in the house  [5:15] The tree starting to show signs of aging  [7:56] Remembering how the kids swung on the tree  [11:54] We took a lot from the tree, but didn't take it for granted  [12:41] Rocky removed the tree and cried with me  [17:11] The tree was proof that Molly was here [19:06] The book launch, kitchen remodeling, and dance  [21:01] When molly died, we didn't have energy to tend to the yard  [22:59] You can feel the sadness amongst the joy  [23:55] My book signing and email newsletter  [25:46] The seasons of my podcast and a possible new book  Resources:   Buy Motherland here + the book signing The Giving Tree Virginia and all her books     Connect with Barb:   Website   Facebook    Instagram   Be a guest on the podcast    YouTube   The Molly B Foundation
