When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.

This year, I took a leap of faith and entered my first writing contest—Mormon Lit Blitz. While I didn't place, the real victory was simply putting my work out there. Here are my three submissions: a personal essay about finding comfort after losing my husband, and two poems about eternity.

Good advice - most days.
Don't be afraid to be you on the page. The barest you, the most naked, exposed, and self-deprecating. Write like your parents will never read it. That's the person readers are dying to get to know. Deep down in those depths is where you will find that elusive "voice" for your stories.
