Overview

"Echoes of Life" is a collection of verses and short stories about the everyday activities of life, nature, and reflections. In this fast-paced world, we often need to return to a slower pace filled with thought-provoking moments. Within these verses, you will find guidance to navigate the wilderness of life and discover healing paths. These pieces are filled with emotions, touch on mental health issues, and offer insights into personal growth. Often, we must hit rock bottom to seek and find a way to learn to climb. As you will read, even in the midst of chaos, there is a way to rise from challenges by embracing the resources around us.
Among the pages, you will find both joy and sorrow, and see how Carlotta overcame many challenges in her own life. During these times, she engaged in practices that soothed her soul and allowed her to find her unique voice. This book spans time from childhood to her senior golden years. Carlotta learned to stand beside others in their final stages of life, crossing over into the next phase and leaving behind what we once knew as life.
Carlotta has a way of putting into words what many of us feel but never explore with an open mind. She enables us to reach deep within our souls to experience joy, pain, and sorrow. You will find her words are much like a hug from a wise old friend.

About the Author

Carlotta, at the age of seventy-three, stands as the eldest among seven siblings, raised in the countryside within the confines of a conservative faith. Her journey into writing began in childhood, a secret endeavor, as she fearfully discarded her works to keep her thoughts hidden from the world. Her educational journey in a quaint Indiana school introduced her to Ruby Nay, an exceptional English teacher who saw potential in Carlotta beyond the conservative horizons, assuring her that a vast world awaited her discovery.
Adulthood brought new adventures and with it, a pivotal trip to the ocean alongside her sister to visit her brother and his family. This experience rekindled her passion for writing, leading to the creation of "Ocean Secrets," her first published work. That solitary day by the ocean marked the beginning of Carlotta's path toward healing. Embraced by the gentle ocean breeze, she experienced a profound spiritual awakening, using the elements—the ocean, sands, wind, and its inherent beauty—as conduits for releasing her pent-up sadness.
Over time, Carlotta's writing became a therapeutic tool, aiding her in mourning her past and navigating her future. She grew to embrace and respect nature, drawing inspiration from its bounty. Carlotta's writings are not just expressions of personal growth but also testaments to the transformative power of nature and the enduring strength of the human spirit to overcome and evolve.
