There’s something extraordinary about a story.
Not just the polished version we might tell at a networking event or the highlight reel we share on social media—but the raw, human accounts of perseverance, doubt, resilience, and triumph. These stories carry power. They remind us that we are not alone in our struggles, and they create a thread of connection that binds us to one another in ways nothing else can. That is the HEARTBEAT of That’s Touching: a space where one inspiring story at a time takes center stage.
In many ways, this publishing house is about rewinding—to the beauty of reading and savouring stories in written form. We live in a podcast era, a time of constant noise and rapid consumption, but That’s Touching leans the other way. It is about pausing, lingering, and letting words settle into us the way only a page can. Just as there’s a growing movement toward slower living—toward handwriting letters, cooking from scratch, even remembering the charm of landlines—there is also space for returning to the quiet intimacy of reading stories.
The idea is simple yet profound: when we share our experiences—the sparks that set our ideas in motion, the hurdles that nearly broke us, the moments of breakthrough—we don’t just unburden ourselves; we open doors for others. We give them permission to see their own journeys reflected back at them. We give hope where there is hesitation, courage where there is fear, and belonging where there is loneliness.
In building Touching Tales Publishing House, I learned firsthand that storytelling is not only a craft but also a lifeline. Whether it’s the determination of an entrepreneur, the resilience of a parent, or the quiet strength of someone navigating personal change, each tale is a reminder of our shared humanity.
And so, That’s Touching begins here: not with grandeur or fanfare, but with an invitation. An invitation to lean in, to read slowly, to reflect deeply, and perhaps even to share your own story. Because when we tell our stories, we don’t just inspire others—we remind ourselves of how far we’ve come and how much further we can go.
One story at a time. One connection at a time. That’s Touching.
