power of perception writers Amanda Hart

There is nothing worse than being a child in a home where violence and hatred are rife and 

no one will listen. How does a child overcome adversity? How does a young woman grow 

into adulthood and create a better life for herself while living extremes, suffering abuse, 

loss, and sadness yet still hang on to hope that life will improve?

Amanda Hart reviews her life’s journey in The Guys Upstairs as she pursues her vision to 

help people overcome traumas, failings, and self-doubt to build a life that is fulfilling, 

balanced and rewarding. Having to fend off violence and fight against life-threatening illness 

caused her to dive deep where she discovered a faith and guidance that prompted her 

discovery of a deeper more meaningful way of living.

The Guys Upstairs introduces Amanda and her positive message of being able to take 

responsibility for your life and change it for the better. Airy-fairy it isn’t, but her firm faith in 

receiving spiritual inspiration from her ‘angels’, prompts her to humorously refer to them as 

‘The Guys Upstairs’. 

In today’s world where greater transparency reveals horrors and tales of abuse rear their 

head daily through media and social media, it challenges each of us not to shy away from 

injustices on our own doorstep, take responsibility for our own actions and how we treat our 

loved ones and fellow citizens. This is what prompted Amanda Hart to share her story and 

the journey she took through failed relationships, diverse career choices, and a family life 

where she had to fight for custody of her children. 

Amanda’s life became a kaleidoscope of spiritually.
