My name is Michelle Carmela. I am the founder/director of Once Upon an Eden.   I greatly appreciate your stopping by.  I hope that you find the visit within the pages of Once Upon an Eden website to be a rich educational experience that is enlightening, empowering and liberating. 

What is Once Upon an Eden? 
     Once Upon an Eden is an international global entity of networking individuals, families, communities, not-for-profit organizations, NGOs, education centers, schools, orphanages and micro businesses from around the world that promote and protect the rights of children, fathers, mothers and families within their own communities. 

Where Did the Name "Once Upon an Eden" come from?
​The name Once Upon an Eden is inspired by the verses Genesis 3:7-8 which reads as follows:
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed life into man's nostrils and man became a living soul. And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man that he formed."  It is our belief at Once Upon an Eden that Mankind was to live in the most beautiful, natural, life affirming environment as possible and it is Mankind's responsibility to help that environment to continue to thrive so that we too may thrive.  For more about the beliefs that govern Once Upon an Eden, please visit "Tenants of Once Upon an Eden".
The Once Upon an Eden website is meant to be a journey of the mind, heart and soul.

  • No topic is off limits. Topics are discussed in "the real" and "the  raw". We do not use Politically Correct or Woke Terms or any terms that are the current rage.  If the term is used within the context of the culture which is being described or is of topic then the term is used as it is intended. If it crosses with PC culture or Woke culture, Cancel Culture, or language of whatever the current rage is that is just coincidence.
  • Scripture use is heavily here when applicable for a reason. The scriptures are allowed to "speak" for themselves here.  We try to leave religion and dogma to the institutions of mass mind control and manipulation.
  • Being offended is a given. When you are offended ask yourself "Why?" then take a more objective approach to the information and the wording conveying the message, as well as, to the message itself.
  • You, most likely, will be triggered. If triggered, welcome the trigger and purge; just roll with it. It will end faster. You will have healed more than you were before.   Articles take as long as it takes for you to read them. If you do not want to go "spelunking through your heart, mind, soul, psyche, then by all means, go visit a page dedicated to "Human Trafficking" and the UN paradigm. This is the only sensibility of offense and trigger warning for the whole of the website. We guarantee you will be offended and triggered. We at Once Upon an Eden are and we manage the page. Love and prayers to you. Thank you for being here. Enjoy your journey.
