At the premiere of "The Ultimate Gift" (a new outstanding family film, Co-staring Lee Merrither), I had the immense privilege to sign a copy of my book to Lee . She is a very beautiful, warm and kind person. Thank you Lee ... : - ) I rate this film with ***** stars! It is a very Wonderful, Inspiring Film! I highly recommend it! |
"I want to share with you a story that just happened the other day at a book signing I was doing. A mother ran in breathless and said she was so thankful to run into me again. She said, that ever since I had read my book to her son, he had done nothing for two days but rave on how much he loved my book! She also said, she told her son if he wanted the book, he would have to pay for it. To her astonishment, he went to his room and broke into his piggy bank and got out $20.00 and gave it to his mother. She said he had been saving his money for a motor scooter that he had wanted for along time. She pulled out his $20.00 and paid for my book! I cried." This is why I do what I do!!!!! An amazing four year old boy said to me one day. "Miss Carla I know what my feelings are. They're my power!" HOW TRUE !

Charity Warmest Regards, Lisa Gal www.hollywoodbaskets.com 818-972-2179 Reviews: Colors Of Us by Bobbie Katz Many of us grew up believing that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. However, one enterprising Las Vegas children's book author is imparting that the shining substance that is on the other side of that brightly colored entity-is not to be found in a pot, rather in a mirror of gold, that reflects back the image of all the beautiful hues that uniquely make up each and every one of us. What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow? (The Secret Of The Golden Mirror) by Carla Jo Masterson teaches children about their feelings-love, fear, anger, jealousy...and that it is never alright to hurt someone else regardless of the emotions they are experiencing or the reasons behind them. There is actually a mirror of gold in the back of the book, the lesson being that when children look into it they realize that they are the gold and believing in one's self is the key. "I Want to show children that quality of life is simple," says Masterson. "All they have to do is follow the rules, and not hurt each other or themselves and to love others the way they want to be loved. In all my research, I never came across one book that explained to children what their feelings were about. Children do not understand enough about how their emotions work. So, kids are at the mercy of something so powerful inside of themselves that they need to understand it before they act. I want to be a voice of reason and common sense. Carla, eventually turned professional with her singing, performing with the likes of Barry Manilow and Paul Anka. Carla also over the course of her life became a mother, got married and subsequently got a divorce. " My intent in this life is to help to create Heaven on Earth, with my book," she says. "It was actually written 15 years ago. I met a woman that was a world -renowned artist named Melanie Taylor Kent, who did work for Universal Studios and Disney. My ex-husband and I had collected her art work. She loved my philosophy of life and how positive I was. She then gave me the idea to write a children's book, and offered to do the art-work for it. Even though Melanie ended up not to be the artist for my book, she planted the seed. She and my Godmother Delta were the golden mirrors in my life that showed me my hidden potential. Now, I want every child to see their potential." "It's always your choice," Masterson sums up. "We are all individuals and we need to find out who we are inside. It's our own self-healing process." "What's On the other Side Of The Rainbow? (The Secret Of The Golden Mirror) can be found in book stores, public libraries Amazon .com and on her website harmony soup.com. Masterson also has several books in the works as well as having a movie script written for "What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow?' ( The Secret Of The Golden Mirror). Book review: February 20, 2008 To Readers: I love Carla's book and you should too. "Love is more precious than silver or gold". This is the best book I have ever read. The name of the book is What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow? Brianna ( 8 years old ) Thank You so much Brianna from the bottom of my heart.

It's full of positivity and is a great tool for helping a child understand how they feel. At the very least they will come away with a reminder of how uniquely special and beautiful they are, and that is a wonderful thing.

Ashley Barber Account Executive CBS RADIO/ KMXB/ MIX 94.1 FM "What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow? by Carla Jo Masterson is truly one of the most important children's Book I have EVER read. Why?

The part that will influence them as human beings life long. Nothing else says more for WORLD PEACE than this book through the delightful Carla Jo Masterson and the seeing - child - within Omra Jo Fochtman." Lee Merrin: Public Relations www.celebrityspeakersentertainment.com "I was absolutely knocked out reading your book, "What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow? You have a rare gift to be able to express feelings and emotions and convey a beautiful message to children and parents. You can touch millions of lives WORLD WIDE Positively your books will become major motion pictures and TV series." Bruce Merrin President and Chief Executive Officer Celebrity Speakers & Entertainment Bureau inc. www.celebrityspeakersentertainment.com "Your Dreams Can Become Reality" Positively, Thank you for your site, you, your book and your mission. "We are all exactly the same inside. After all, we all laugh and cry in the same language..." Carla, with people like you in this world, there is hope that individualism will continue to exist and contribute to society as a whole; foremost by fostering the children - whence we all begin! Carla, May, Harmony Soup's Kitchen Of Hope - "EVERY CHILD DESERVES A TASTE OF HARMONY SOUP"-continue to be stirred by your heartwarming perspective on the inner growth of our very beginnings! Author& Poet, Jeane Michelle Culp, (The Poetress) http://www.bindingink.blogspot.com PRESS RELEASE: Bruce Merrin Public Relations & Advertising www.celebrityspeakersentertainment.com "What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow?" Author Carla Masterson Shares The Secret! Children of all ages will discover a life changing secret within the delightful pages of an adventurous story that leads to the "Secret Of The Golden Mirror" Thanks to Las Vegas author Carla Masterson, the book has been heralded by Clark County School District school staff including Elaine Sherman, Secondary English and Reading Administrative Specialist and children's reading groups. The future of secondary education looks brighter if Carla Masterson's campaign to develop children's insights into their feelings and emotions takes root in the school system. With"What's On The Other Side Of the rainbow... The Secret Of the Golden" a voyage of self-discovery takes place for each child :- ) No small discovery when the colorful (illustrator is Hawaiian artist Omra Jo Fochtman) pages unlock doors which allow each person to question anger, love and fear (8 emotions and feelings) as an example of what lies in each and everyone of us. And the miracle key: What to do with it? One of Carla's Special during a reading group came when a 5- year-old at the Child Time Learning Center riveted her eyes on a page The "Anger Door". She Said, "Teacher, we don't want to open that mean door do we?" Carla said, "No we do not. So she walked up to me and the book's "Anger Door " illustration. With her little finger she pretended to lock the door. She said firmly, "I want this door to be locked" Then she pretended to throw the key over her shoulder! What a Moment!" Shutting down hostility is not easy as we know from the nightmare memories of Columbine and VT. If "What's On The Other Side Of the Rainbow?" succeeds in helping impressionable youth to indentify agressive feelings before they mushroom out of control, all the time and energy Carla devotes to her reading groups and workshops will be worthwhile! ""The reason I wrote this book is that I wanted children and adults to be able to communicate on the same level through their feelings. To Bridge the gap so that when situations come up, they will have this book as a guidepost. I want them to know that it is alright to feel. However, it is our actions with our feelings and emotions that determine whether we will be safe with ourselves and each other. I want all children to have a chance to live and grow in a safe world without abuse." Realistic goals that can be achieved through early education are essential, Carla believes. E-Education, Emotional-Education can foster healthy emotions and feelings to help our children realize their potentials. Learning about their inner perfection should be part of the fabric of early education, author Carla Masterson maintains. Emotion-and-Feeling insights filtered into our daily behavior impacts the way we interact with others. "We can modify anxious and aggressive behavior patterns that emerge into school tragedies," the author points out. Emotional-Education programs can make inroads in our school curriculum as well as in our homes nationally and globally. An international voyage via global translators and distributors for "What's On The other Side Of The Rainbow?" will be contracted this year. World communities of children eager to communicate, learn, and create a positive future are within our reach provided we shift our educational objectives to a new focus. Carla Masterson's career as a professional singer harmonized with her pre-natal song CD projects for pregnant. Stories poured forth that emerged into a children's book legacy under her imprimatur Harmony Soup.com with future books "Please Don't Feed The Monsters (of Jealousy Greed and Rage) and "My Star and the Hidden Gift". Carla Masterson's Inspiration for "What's On The Other Side Of The Rainbow?" she notes "my amazing and wonderful son Jason."

Last weekend I had my 9yr. old twin granddaughters staying with me and was able to share your book, "What's on the Other Side of the Rainbow", with them. They absolutely loved all the ideas and feelings that Mr. Positively shared and we had a very lively discussion over many of their feelings, including angry feelings and how to deal with them. They were delighted with the illustrations and could really relate to the children that were portrayed. I can't wait til next weekend when my other granddaughter who is six will be with me and I will be able to share with her too. Tierra and Torrie thought it was so special that you signed the book to them, their cousin Mariah and even their little sister Jade who will be born in a couple of weeks. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful work with so much to offer for all ages. I can't wait to see what you have next to present in your treasure of ideas. Let's talk soon. Love and blessings, Kitty Content on this website is owned & copyrighted and can not be reproduced unless you have written consent from the author. Carla Jo Masterson Copyright 2006 - 2019 |
EXCERPTS FROM MY 2010 completed COPYRIGHTED, registered SCREEN PLAY "The Secret of the Golden Mirror" Based on my Copyrighted 2006 published book,What's On the Other side of the Rainbow? The Secret of the Golden Mirror Located on page 2 of my script EXT. SMALL TOWN - DAY It is early morning the start of a new day. The sky is blue painted with white fluffy clouds. There are distinct whisperings going on as our view turns from the clouds looking down on a small town. MR. POSITIVELY My friends, it looks like we have another assignment. FEELING DOOR OF FRIENDSHIP I agree, something needs to be done. FEELING DOOR OF FEAR I’m afraid for him. This situation is definitely out of control. FEELING DOOR OF LOVE Jason and his family absolutely need our help. Their love is dying. FEELING DOOR OF ANGER The anger is taking over! MR. POSITIVELY Then we’re all in agreement? FEELING DOORS (IN UNISON) Yes, we agree! Located on page 8 this is where the 8 doors Which are “Mr. Positively the Rainbow Cloud's feelings and Emotions” are SEEN as (AS WELL AS HEARD) for the first time. “MR. POSITIVELY THE RAINBOW CLOUD” Jason dreams of a beautiful, multi- colored cloud being with human features sparkling with all the colors of the rainbow. In the center of the cloud’s being, Jason sees hints of colorful doors with faces. There is a cloud shaped like a crown he wears on his head with a capital “P” in the center, constantly changing color. He has huge, blue green eyes, a white, cloud like beard and cloud shaped eyebrows. The dream cloud being speaks calmly to Jason. MR. POSITIVELY: Hello Jason, I am Mr. Positively the Rainbow Cloud ©. Jason don’t worry, everything is going to be all right. The dream vanishes… Located on pages 13 and 14 of my script EXT. CLOUD WORLD The beam of light extends into the clouds where there is an important meeting taking place. Out of a deep concern for Jason, “Mr. Positively the Rainbow Cloud” © is holding a meeting, with all of his feelings at his “Round Table of Reason”. They are discussing what is going on with Jason. In the middle of the table is Jason’s paper airplane. MR. POSITIVELY: This meeting I now call to order. MR. POSITIVELY starts with his ANGER door. MR. POSITIVELY: (CONT’D) First, I will hear from you my ANGER door. ANGER DOOR: I am feeling angry! What’s wrong with these people? I dislike how unfeeling and selfish they can be! I dislike how they can’t communicate! It hurts to see them hurt each other! Where is their common sense! ! MR. POSITIVELY: Now, what do you have to say my FEAR Door? FEAR DOOR: I-I-I am scared. I-I-I am scared for Jason and scared for his mother. I-I am worried that something terrible will continue happening if nothing is done soon. I-I-I fear for the worst for both of them! MR. POSITIVELY represents the “VOICE of Reason.” He takes into consideration what all of his feelings have to say and comes up with a solution. MR. POSITIVELY: Summon Ocirra! |

"WHAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAINBOW?" "(THE SECRET OF THE GOLDEN MIRROR) Copyright 2006 written by CARLA MASTERSON is a book that shows and tells the positive side of what feelings are for. The main characters are Mr. Positively the Rainbow Cloud along with his, FEELINGS and EMOTIONS, "LOVE, ANGER, LAUGHTER, SHY, FEAR, SAD, FRIENDSHIP and JOY" I created characters out of someone's "Literal" Feelings and Emotions! Mr. Positively the Rainbow Cloud's feelings and emotions to be exact! There is a REASON for our feelings and emotions. They have a special PURPOSE a JOB. Do you know what they are and what they are for? They are there to help us communicate better with our selves and each other. We need to listen and pay attention to them. They are an IMPORTANT part of ourselves. They are alive. Therefore, they deserve our kindness and our total and complete attention. "Crying is our words without speaking. Laughter is our words without speaking. Instrumental music, sounds, touching....:-) So, there are may ways we can communicate with each other without words. A baby's cry is his or her words without speaking. When you see someone crying, no words are necessary. It is a wordless language understood by all. That is why our emotions and feelings are so powerful and important. They help us communicate and create from the deepest part of ourselves." The children in my book represent all the colors of the human rainbow. And as they follow, observe and listen to Mr. Positively the Rainbow Cloud and his Feelings and Emotions, they learn and see the benefits of having positive communication with each other. They learn the importance of listening, and expressing their emotions in positive, un harmful ways. And at the end of their journey, by choosing to live in harmony with all of their feelings and emotions, they find the path that leads them to Mr. Positively the Rainbow Cloud's Emotion JOY...:-) "WHAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAINBOW?" Of course we all know it's a POT OF GOLD, right? It is. It is a WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC GOLDEN MIRROR that reveals its SECRET when it shows a GOLDEN REFLECTION OF BEAUTIFUL , UNIQUE, INCREDIBLE YOU!!!!
