Quote: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

About Tanner:
I am the second oldest of 6 kids--5 boys and 1 girl (actually, she likes it that way and yes, she is spoiled). I've grown up on stage singing and dancing, and ever since I first heard a capella music it has been my favorite kind of music. I started mimicking the vocal percussion sounds I heard and after a couple of years of making silly noises, they actually started to sound pretty good! I served for 2 years in the Canada Halifax Mission (the east coast of Canada) where I was able to share the Gospel often through music and even open some doors by providing a beat as my companion rapped his parody of "Ice Ice Mormon." I also enjoy sports, camping, and spending money. In fact, I think that knowing how to spend money is as important as knowing how to save money. I'm out to experience as much as I can in life, but I'm in no rush to get through it all. I believe that if you have a good attitude and always try to see the positive side of every situation, that eventually everything will work out just fine, and that everyone is capable of doing great things and making a difference in the world.
