@Nadia — Hi Nadia! Thanks so much for stopping by, and for your wonderful comment. What a great point. How many times do we have an idea, and then just shelf it — never to let it see the light of day? Even if it doesn’t work out, having tried removes the idea of regrets later on down the road… Thanks again, and it’s great to have you here!

@Jannie — Hey Jannie! No way — it’s you — you really are the cat’s meow. You inspire me greatly. So, this piece — your insight is so “right on”. As I wrote this, things just kept coming to me. I couldn’t write fast enough. That’s not always the case — sometimes I write and delete, or write and work to get the wording right. Not the case at all with this one — it was so easy to write this article. And the “Excellence in Tree Metaphor” trophy — wow, I’m deeply honored Jannie. I am. (although I’m guessing there wasn’t much competition!). You lift me up always, my friend, thank you!

@Maria — Hi Maria. The “roots” in our life, how important they are, huh? You are so kind to me, know that I appreciate your words very much — thank you.

@Carla — Hi Carla. It’s great to see you here. No, money doesn’t really grow on tree. However, if we care for the metaphorical trees in our life, we have a real opportunity to help set ourselves up for success in life — and that’s something worth going after! I see you doing this, very much so, with your website. And know that I’m happy for you, and wish you the best with it all.

@Michael — Hi Michael. Thanks much!

@Debbie — Hi Debbie. Thank you! And your words — hearing that you’re reading this at just the right time in your life — Debbie, I can’t tell you how much that means to me. that’s what makes writing this all worth it. Keep taking care of those “trees” in your life, my friend.

@Bri — Hi Bri! I appreciate your words here today, very much. Thank you!

@Lizwi — Hi Lizwi. You bring up another wonderful point. Sometimes we have “trees’ that aren’t producing anymore, yet we still love them dearly. This becomes a very personal decision on what to do. I think you listen to your heart. And maybe you keep that tree just because of the love you have for it. Or maybe you’re ready to move on — and can let it go in the face of new trees. Excellent point!

@Armen — Hi Armen. Value. This is great Armen. What do we value? That in which we’ve nurtured along, labored with, spent our time doing. And if this is done with our heart at the center, it holds even more meaning for us. Thanks much!

@Midnight Writer — Thank you for your kind words, and it’s great to have you here today.

@Meleah — Hi Meleah. It’s so nice to see you here today, my friend! I am truly honored that these words have meaning for you, and what you’re saying is really making my day start off wonderfully. Thank you!

Lance, your philosophical analogy about money growing on trees in comparison to us being the trees and our lives the growth process is a beautiful, thought invoking essay. I'll definitely come back to read more of your writings. Thanks for visiting my blog. The Midnight Writer´s last blog post..Planning a Trip to the Four Corners Historic Sites

The point of the money/fruit coming from the tree is a solid reminder that the money only comes after the tree/foundation is there, and has no way to arrive beforehand. The point about nothing growing overnight is huge. I would say that a miniscule amount of items of worth came about from a single day's work. People generally value the kind of effort that one can't provide in a single sitting, and which has to be built upon for a substantial period of time.

This reminds me to take stock of the trees I have in my garden, my life, to find out if they are all productive. May be some have grown very old to the extent that they no longer bear any fruit. What must I do with them? Cut them down? What if I still love them becuse they make my garden look beatiful? Thank you for the great post again.

Hi Lance! WOW! What a wonderful post and analogy. This hit me at a perfect time. In my own life, I have planted seeds, watched them grow, nurtured them, protected them, weathered the storms...many storms...and the strength from strong roots...allowed survival. This is very inspiring. Thank you! Debbie´s last blog post..The Value Of Friends

Very well written and so true. Money doesnt grow on trees but trees wont grow if we dont take care of them.
