The Woolfolk Family Axe Murders
While most people that read about true crime or listen to true crime podcasts know of the infamous unsolved 1912 Villisca axe murder case in which the entire family and two young neighbor girls were all brutally slain. Most true crime enthusiasts have never heard of the “Woolfolk Family Murders” that happened in Georgia, 1887. This was a brutal and shocking crime of the time which also included an entire family being slain in one night by an axe as well. The difference being that this murder was solved, and the murderer was executed for the awful crime.

The Great Resignation
Over the past couple of months people have been leaving their jobs in record numbers. The media has dubbed it as “The Great Resignation”. Individuals from all walks of life are resigning to look for greener pastures elsewhere, from food service workers up to CEOs that are tired and burnt out. Why is this happening now?

The Covid-19 Pandemic Made Me Become Agoraphobic
I have always been an introvert and but after the pandemic began and throughout the duration of it last year my introversion became more severe and I began struggling with symptoms of agoraphobia. I had recently had to change careers in the last two years from working in the medical field to more sedentary work due to medical issues. I could no longer be up on my feet all day long with my severe arthritis and other issues. All of this combined had definitely made my depression and anxiety worse but I was finishing up my bachelor’s degree online so I was cautiously optimistic and planned to hopefully get a better paying job afterwards.

Belle Gunness the Midwest Murderess
Belle Gunness was born Brynhild Paulsdatter Storseth in 1859, Norway. She was the youngest of eight children and while not much was known of her life in Norway, we know that she was a very hard-worker from a young age. She worked on neighboring farms by milking and herding cattle to save up enough money to immigrate to the US in 1881 at age 21. She ended up in Chicago and joined an older sister that had already come to America several years prior.

I'm Child-Free and I'm Not Ashamed
Today is Mother’s Day, and I am reminded again of how our society still hasn’t caught up to the year 2021. In a year where “a family” come in all sizes, shapes and forms, I am still told that I am “abnormal” because I’m a woman and don’t have children. Why do child-free women still have to deal with complete strangers asking us questions about our life and choices? When someone finds out we haven’t procreated yet, we get a sad pity look followed by a reassuring comment to not worry, it will happen soon. Please, I beg you to NOT be those people! Do not ask why a woman hasn’t had a child yet and don’t follow it with that comment! For all you know that woman could have been trying for several years to have a child and they could have had several miscarriages or they could have been told they are completely infertile and will never have a child of their own.

My Body is Defective and I want an Upgrade
My Body is Defective and I want an Upgrade My body is my own worst enemy. It has unexplained quirks; defective issues and it is deserving of a recall. How I wished that I could just trade it in on a cyborg-style, titanium steel body frame and AI type covering from the sci-fi movies. I would not have to worry about arthritis and chronic pain any more. My hypermobile joints would be fixed and no longer a concern when I walk or even happen to stretch wrong. I could go to the grocery store and shopping without breaking out into a hyperhidrosis sweat for no reason and without warning.

My 2020
My 2020 I was completely lost before 2020 and during 2020 for that matter. I was in a mentally and verbally abusive relationship, I hated my job, I transferred to something different and hated it more. I was to the point that I felt imprisoned every single day. I was in a constant see-saw of anxiety and depression and I had no option to get out because I had bills and I had to work.

Saphira
The tiny dust angels floated up into view as I shoved the old, creaky wooden door open and the sunlight streamed inside the old Victorian home. It was bittersweet finally being back inside the old home. It had been my grandmother’s haven for the last 30 years of her life. In the last 10 years she never left the confines of her beloved home except for the occasional doctor’s appointment. She had hired a personal assistant, home health nurse and a maid ten years ago and decided she no longer needed to leave her safe space if she could afford to pay people to do her chores, self-care and grocery shopping. I had taken off work for two weeks and drove out quickly to the small coastal town when I had received the phone call from her personal assistant, Karen.
