Better Late than Never Birthday Post

One year of Shaky Tree... wow!!! So much has been packed into that year, where do I even start? It has truly been a year of COFFEE, CREATIVITY, and COMMUNITY... and I couldn't really ask for anything more. That is not to say it has all gone perfectly, and anyone who has a "perfect" first year of business is lying about it ;-) However, the trick is taking the hard parts/the mistakes, and using them... growing stronger from the whole of your experience. You never can predict what you will gain from any journey (especially opening a business), but I can honestly say that I have been blessed by the things I have been a part of through Shaky Tree during year one... and I am truly excited to see what comes during year two (and beyond)!!!

Thanks so much to all who have added positive energy to Shaky Tree... whether through getting your morning cup with us, sharing your story as a visiting musician (or a regular at Open Mic), or lending a helping hand at some point. Shaky Tree has been a successful adventure because of the community that cares about having a place... a safe place to cultivate passionate living.

Thank you to the Quattlebaum crew... for allowing us the chance to come into their space, and the freedom to follow OUR passions.

Thank you ALL so much!!!
