OUR MISSION ' We at Harmony Soup INC feel that we have a responsibility to consciously participate in helping to create a safe and harmonious world for all children, and all mankind. We hope to do our part by planting a seed with a book written by Carla Jo Masterson, titled; "What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow?" (The Secret Of The Golden Mirror) This beautifully illustrated, easy to read book teaches that no matter what happens in our lives, our feelings and emotions are always meant for constructive reasons and not destructive ones. We are all exactly the same inside. After all we all laugh and cry in the same language, even though we may experience different things in different ways and degrees. Mr. Positively the main character in Carla's series of books will serve as a gentle guide to encourage children to understand, explore, open up, and discuss their feelings. " I am asked all the time what inspired me to write this book. The truth is my friends, I was an abused and neglected child. There I've said it out loud :- ( Even though I have done allot of healing work with myself on the inside, it is still hard to talk about. However, I need to say to you, that no matter what happens in your life it does not give you an excuse to abuse yourself or anyone else! The light of reason in my heart knew the abuse of my mother, little brother, me and the others around me WAS WRONG. WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO HURT ANYONE IN ANY WAY? It never made sense to me and it never will. All my life I have prayed to be part of the cure and not the sickness. So, when I was ask to write a children's book on feelings, I jumped at the chance to sing from the roof tops, that from the beginning of our existence we were & are only suppose to love our selves and each other. "That it is never alright even when you're ANGRY to hurt anyone in any way." And that, "Real LOVE will never hurt you it is a safe place to be." Children deserve to be safe. We all do :- ) Our feelings exists whether there is situations in our lives or not. They are not just window dressing for the situations we experience in our lives. They are alive! So, they can be hurt. We need are feelings to be well and whole. We need to care for them and think of them as being a subject matter all by themselves. That is why I wrote my first children's book "What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow?" and created a wonderful character by the name of "MR. POSITIVELY THE RAINBOW CLOUD" with his colorful, wonderful doors with faces which are his feelings and emotions. I wanted through my book to help remind children that there are reasons for the feelings and emotions they feel. I want them to know what their feelings are for and to help them to remember these simple rules. They are: THE GOLDEN RULES: 1) "To love yourself." If you love yourself you are and will be safe with you. (2) "To love others, the way you would want to be loved." If you truly love others they are and will always be safe with you. So, it is easy to see if you are loved by others, you will know and feel your safe by the way they care for your mind, body, soul and spirit and you and your loved ones will know their safe by the way you care for their mind, body, soul and spirit. Quality of Life is simple, as long as we choose not to use our free will to harm others or harm ourselves. My friends, I am only wanting with my books to inspire you to look with in yourself and see the brilliant person you are and always will be. The choice is yours. Choose LOVE" Carla :- ) Mr. Positively says, " Love and Kindness is the key. You can take it from me, Mr. Positively." Please join us in our mission to get this book into every precious child's hands. "Everyone Deserves A Tastes Of Harmony Soup" The future belongs to them. However, it is all of our responsibility to plant the right seeds in their hearts and minds.
