Confessions of a Small Biz Owner

And I can tell you that each and every one of you are welcome on my truck.

I gotta be honest. This past year has been hard. So many people ask how it has been with a the Covid drama. I really would love to say it’s been great! All good! But I am just not a liar and I hold great value in truth. So my truth is this past year has been so incredibly hard. Most of us are working our tails off pivoting just to keep moving.

But, do you know why it has been so hard? It’s not the working hard... it’s the constant criticism. It’s the constant division. Each and every one of us has had to make a choice how we will show up and how we will run our biz. The most disappointing thing I have witnessed is biz owners bashing other biz owners because they make a different choice. None of the choices are easy. These choices come with research, risk, and huge amounts of stress no matter what you choose.

Isn’t all of life about choices and differing opinions? Wouldn’t our world be boring if everyone was the same? Why now have we come to this place where there is no room for different thinking or beliefs?

Wildflowers... we are better than this. I know that Jesus called us to love each other. So I’m working really hard to do just that. Will you make that choice with me? In a field of roses, you are a wildflower. Now more than ever in my life I feel this is true. It does not matter what side of the fence you are on, you can choose to love all people (yes, I know that many are making it super hard). And when we choose this posture, it makes it super tough to tear them down. Agree or disagree with their choices, that’s fine. Bash them, nope. If you don’t agree, don’t shop there. We all have choices for a reason. What if everyone chose to love all people🤔🤔? What if? But I can only control me and you can control you so let’s do it! Will you join me? And I can tell you that each and every one of you are welcome on my truck. I welcome you if you are having a tough day and need a hug or to play dress up. I welcome your beautiful, smiling face. I welcome you if you vote blue or red or somewhere in between. I welcome you if you are tall or short or have big boobs or small boobs or are any shade of skin tone there is. I will even welcome you if you have curly hair or straight hair! You, yes YOU, are welcome and loved. And you know what? I can’t wait to see you❤️

What If...

What if you, yes you sweet friend, realized all you could be? All that God has for you? What if? What if you could have a job you loved? A marriage you dreamed about? Friends that fill your cup? PEACE?

What Is The Story?

Could we give each other grace? Could we cheer each other on? Could we remember that the woman who looks like she has it all together is probably the one who could most use a hug?

Being Creative...

by Tara Parsons • 4 August 2020

Would you join me in creating a community that build each other up? That holds our fellow wildflower's hand when she is not feeling brave? This is my heart for this community. I see it in each of you when you walk on the truck. I see it in you when you bring a friend to share the love. I see it in you when "strangers" encourage each other.

Wildflowers that Impact!

One of my greatest passions is empowering and encouraging women and young girls to be all that they were created to be. I love that we can come together and reach so many through our Truck Impact mission.
