My first fresh milled organic flour pancake 🙌 Why I’m switching to milling my own flour you ask? I have the MTHFR gene mutation and my body cannot process the synthetic folic acid added to flour, pasta, bread, cake, cookies, tortillas, crackers, and now they are beginning to add it to corn items. My body cannnot process it and it is building up and clogging my detox pathways. I also have a child who has the same. I am doing everything I can to help my body heal in any way possible.

Did you know fresh milled flour has 40 out of 44 essential nutrients! It has B vitamins thiamine (B1), niacin (B3), riboflavin (B2), folate (B9), and vitamin B6, vitamin E (antioxidant), fiber, magnesium, iron, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, protein, vitamin K and other fat soluble vitamins. 40% of the population has the MTHFR gene mutation and most never know. While some may never be affected, others will have a buildup of toxins and not understand why if they don’t know they have this mutation. But this mutation isn’t the only reason people should eat fresh milled flour. Studies have shown how healthy it truly is for you. It is living flour, store bought is dead flour.

When you make bread with fresh milled flour you are nourishing your body as opposed to store bought bread that has very little nutritional value. Fresh milled flour can provide prevention against heart disease, constipation, appendicitis, diabetes, obesity and more. That’s right, it helps diabetes and obesity! Don’t believe me, I’ll post the link below showing the study. Conventional milling removes dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant compounds, all of which provide protection against heart disease.

When I know better, I do better. It takes time, patience, and a commitment to make this transition. And I’m doing it slowly, one thing at a time. I buy organic if I can, including flour and bread products, but those are still missing all of these health benefits and are dead. But I am committed to my health and healing journey and want to feed my body living nutrients. I hope you have learned a little something from this information and one day you decide to try it for yourself. Life changes can feel overwhelming, so I do it slowly and one small thing at a time. I’m not making every single thing with this. Yet. But that is my goal. One small thing at a time. 💜

I lived this over and over and it’s absolutely disgusting. There’s nothing like being a victim, then being victimized by people and a system that is supposed to “protect” innocent victims. There are no words to even begin to describe the humiliation.

Nothing prepares you for closing down a chapter of your life you worked so hard for. I left nursing at the drop of a dime and threw myself into tattooing. I didn’t know if I could even do it for sure. But I had confidence in myself that I could do anything I put my mind to. And I wasn’t wrong. I succeeded and loved every minute of becoming my own creator.

I’m nearing the end of this journey and every day gets harder and harder. I hate what my health has taken from me. I hate the fact that a man who chose to physically abuse me set my health issues in motion. He tore my life apart so many years ago and now has stolen the one thing I created for myself. I’d like to say I have forgiven him, again, but I’m not there yet. Today I am still angry. I don’t deserve this life, but this is what I have been given. Someday I will decide the anger is too much to bear and I will let it go, again. Right now, I’m still trying to get through day to day life in the midst of my health struggles. It isn’t fair. It never will be. But it is what it is. We’re all handed the short stick sometimes and it’s what we do with it that matters.

I’m going to enjoy these last few days of my tattooing career and be thankful I had the time I did. This has been my biggest accomplishment so far in life. I poured everything I had into this, and for that, I am proud. 💜
