Each day is a new day. Each day we grow a little older and a little different. In each day there is some element of newness, therefore we must be kind to ourselves. With newness comes elements of the unknown, so please be kind to yourselves and open to the possibilities. With the addition to newness, know that there will be somethings that we simply don’t know. With the opportunities, know that you’ve got the right to change your mind and align with purpose and joy! I
To fully accept where you are going, you often need to remember where you are coming from. #TheDriveToThrive According to Facebook, it’s been 13 years since I really surrendered to God on this journey of faith. There were so many highs and so many lows, but all that has led me to where I am today! It poked me, hugged me, comforted me, awakened me, educated me, inspired me, transformed me, broke me, healed me and finally restored me. This 13 year journey formed me into the woman I am today and I can genuinely say that I LOVE HER! Extremely grateful and hopeful that this new chapter I’m stepping into will be a new level unlocked! #Purposedriven #Spiritled #JesusITrustInYou 🙏🏾❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CplndJoOeERv0_xHeBkhouKgT5sVVwRKBEp2zc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another day it was. Another day it will be. I am grateful for the one that was and the one that is to come.
This wasn't always the case.As a child I was taught to be grateful for life, as many of you were, but this teaching, along with many others, needed more meaning for it to hold in my life as I grew older.
"Why should I be grateful? I am alive, sure, but why?" I would ask myself. The nature of days seemed repetitive and to be grateful for each and every one of them sounded like a lot of work.
"You could've woken up ill" or "something bad could have happened" but it didn't. Scare tactics began to annoy me. It sounded weak. Did we subconsciously beg God for life and safety in our sleep that we should wake up and immediately thank the Most High for nothing 'bad' happening?
To define good as absence of bad is just false and anyone who approaches gratitude with that mentality is limiting the possible realities he or she can experience. I understand that now.
How long did it take me to do so? Was this my first existential crisis? What's my take on gratitude now?
Happy Sunday #zntartsfamily I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to some of my new followers. And thank you for joining me on this #artistlife journey So a few things about me I am multifaceted artist meaning I have many art practices. That can look like painting, illustration, jewelry design, performance and whatever I desire to express my creativity in a given moment. And of course #facepainting 🤩 I am an educator meaning I have taught art in many settings. I hold a degree in early education and in fine arts. I am also a healing engagement practitioner and certified in trauma informed outreach. Before I became an artist I worked in travel industry and I still love to travel ✈️ when I can. One of my mantras is “Art from the heart” ❤️ because I believe art is a tool for healing and connection. Before I became ZNT Arts which is an abbreviation of my name is Zahirah Nur Truth. And yes my last name is actually “Truth”! 💫I ran a similar business called Divyne Phabrix which was inspired by my eldest son Divyne @divynea.4 July is my birthday 🎉🥳 month for ZNTARTS and we are officially 5 years old! It feels like yesterday I was sitting on my couch trying to figure out what is next for me and family regarding my purpose. I have some fun community events on my calendar for the remainder of the month. But I am honestly looking forward to August and September because I have some exciting creative projects in the pipeline that I can’t wait to share. If you ever need anything from me the best way to reach me is through ZNTARTS.com There you can make a service request and sign up for my newsletter. I share mindfulness tips and a few other thoughts.
