Writing your story is a beautiful beginning. But stories aren't meant to stay tucked away in a drawer or hidden inside a notebook. They're meant to be shared, remembered, and passed along to the people who come behind us. And the wonderful thing is, creating a legacy...
Every one of us has chapters we wouldn’t have chosen. Seasons that hurt, moments that changed everything, days we wish we could rewrite. When people begin writing their stories, these are often the parts they’re tempted to skip. And that’s completely understandable.
Most opportunities aren’t lost because someone said no — they’re lost because we never followed up. Tami Nantz breaks down the simple principles behind a well-timed follow-up: keep it short, assume good intentions, add value instead of pressure, and know when to close the loop gracefully. Because sometimes opportunity won’t knock twice — but it does answer a follow-up.
Have you ever listened to someone tell a story and felt like you were right there with them — you could picture the room, hear the laughter, and almost smell what was cooking in the kitchen? That’s not magic. That’s the power of details. In this post, Tami Nantz shows you how a few simple, specific touches can turn an ordinary memory into something your family can truly see and feel.
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to tell a story out loud — and how hard it suddenly feels to write it down? You can sit at the kitchen table surrounded by family and share a memory that has everyone laughing or leaning in close. But put a blank page in front of you, and suddenly everything feels stiff and impossible. The good news? Your family isn’t looking for a polished book. They’re looking for you — and Tami Nantz shows you exactly how to give them that.
Sometimes the page is just rude. You sit down with good intentions and nothing happens — the screen stays blank, your brain checks out, and your keyboard might as well be a brick wall. Sound familiar? Most writers — beginners and seasoned ones alike — hit this wall more often than they’d like to admit. Feeling stuck isn’t a sign something’s wrong. It’s just part of the process. In this piece, Tami Nantz walks through five practical, pressure-free ways to get the words moving again. No magical inspiration required.
There’s something timeless about coloring Easter eggs—but what if the most beautiful colors weren’t in a box, but already in your kitchen? In this thoughtful piece by Tami Nantz, discover the quiet science and unexpected beauty behind natural dyes, from avocado skins to red cabbage.

Most people think the secret to winning more business is a better pitch. A sharper hook. More confidence. More persuasion. But what if the real problem isn’t how you’re selling — it’s that nobody actually understands what you’re saying? There’s a reason some communicators earn trust almost instantly while others talk in circles and wonder why people tune out. Tami Nantz cuts through the noise with a simple principle that changes the way you write, speak, and show up in business. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
We reserve the word “art” for people with extraordinary talent—painters who capture light on canvas, poets who make language sing, sculptors who free figures from stone. But what if we’ve been thinking about it all wrong? What if art isn’t really about skill at all, but about something much simpler and more accessible? Something children do naturally until we teach them to stop. This piece explores a different way of seeing creativity—one that changes everything about how we notice beauty, meaning, and our connection to something eternal.
