Hello World

Howdy

My name is Tanner, this is my free space to write what I think.

The topics and thoughts that proceed are coming from my experience as a husband, father, business owner, photographer, and optimist.

Why haven't I done this sooner?

The immortal words of regret we all think when looking into the past. I overthink, waft and postpone what I want to do, mostly because I am afriad. The fear of saying the wrong thing so you won't like me is programmed into me. Writing and sharing publically breaks this core belief. By putting myself "on the line" I am facing my fear of rejecting.

I've wanted to free share my thoughts on a blog for over a decade. I guess, now, I have finally warmed up to it.

My goals

Share my experience so that it may help you. I have gotten a lot from others putting their life stories out there, now its my time to lend a hand.

Find connection to people that may have never existed. Reach out to me if anything resonates with you, I am open to creating new personal connections and making more experiences.

Leave some wisdom for my family. I envision this as a resource for closet people in my life to read about me and what I accomplished or failed on my journey.
