Shaking the Tree

ShakingTheTree.ca began with a song, survived detours and disappearances, and now returns as a space for curiosity, memory, and story.

Shaking The Tree 2 is a continuation of an idea that began with more than a decade of writing on the original blog: a space to explore. A place to sit with questions, curiosities, and the small — and not-so-small — moments that shape a life. It’s more journal than content hub, rooted in community, memory, and whatever ideas I’m wrestling with next.

I’ve continued to write since the final post on the original blog in 2016, but after all these years, I realized this URL still has branches worth shaking.

So join me as I look at the world from the lighter side of fifty. The winds of age may blow a little softer beyond that imaginary border between immortality and throwing your back out while putting on socks — but there’s still plenty worth talking about in the stories, headlines, and everyday moments that keep shaping us.
