"A life is like a piece of paper on which everyone leaves their mark." I hope that the mark that I leave on your paper will carry you to the end of your journey with love peace and happiness in your heart. Kim Upstone

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) January 28, 2010

Local self help author Kim Upstone understands a thing or two about moving big stuff around. As the owner of A New Day A New Vision and author of two books; the first on how to stage a home and the second on Feng Shui for special needs children, understanding how to move things around to transform homes and lives comes naturally. In her newest book, “All I Want is Everything,” Upstone tackles the really big things, “how to move our thinking around in our emotional and spiritual life,” she says seems second nature for this author, who “teaches people how to achieve the love, peace and happiness we all desire”.

It seems, a background in retail merchandising and staging accreditation doesn’t need to be limited to furniture and accessories. These same concepts hold true when taking stock of our emotions, Upstone advises, by knowing what’s of value and what isn’t and finding the right balance.

Change can be scary. And at the beginning of a new year when self-reflection appears magnified and more intense it can be even scarier. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, one in four women will experience severe depression at some point in life and depression is the number one disability in women. Turning the corner, of a new year is a time when people take stock and look closely at what they possess, both physically and emotionally.

Upstone believes this is a critical first step towards finding love, peace and happiness. She believes all of the answers for life’s questions lie. In fact, the premise of Upstone’s new book “All I Want is … Everything, A Guide to Peace, Love and Happiness,” is that happiness and abundance is achievable by working from within. Much like Feng Shui, moving things around within will also create transformation leading to balance. Using similar concepts, Upstone incorporates step-by-step instructions to make major changes in life to move out of the darkness of sadness.

In one exercise, the author asks readers to write sideways across the lines of a page, forcing the reader out of a comfort zone by becoming clearer about what thoughts are being recorded. As in Feng Shui, when things are viewed from another perspective they take on new resonance, new meaning and new power.

But don’t be misled. The exercises in “All I Want is…Everything” take real work and a willingness to let go of the preconceived notion that happiness is tied to possessions and external conditions. It provides tools for readers to outline a life plan to identify and eliminate destructive behaviors, reveling “true heart’s desires.”
Upstone is the “everywoman”. Not a self-appointed mystic or theory-based psychiatrist. In her can be seen, a neighbor, mother, sister and friend. Upstone says her life’s ambition is “helping people realize they can stay on their current path or they can begin heading towards an extraordinary life.” All standard stuff, but delivered in a way that allows the feeling that she is sitting in the room. As if she completely understands.

“She’s not coming from theory or psychology,” said Deborah Brown, co-host of Phoenix’s Boomer and the Babe Show. “She’s coming from her own experiences and deciding that her life had to be something more than what it was.” Which is exactly where Upstone began. Having everything a woman could want. Loving husband, intelligent successful children and material wealth. Yet feeling unfulfilled and searching for answers.

Then, on one day, while driving through the mountains, the light bulb went off and she discovered “an awareness that the search had to start somewhere”. And according to Upstone, “that somewhere was within.”

“Writing “All I Want is…Everything,” was an opportunity to share my journey with other women, knowing there were others desperately seeking answers who could relate to someone just like themselves,” added the author.

Debbie Allen, International Business Speaker, Best Selling Author and Motivational Speaker said, “This brilliant book teaches you all the wise lessons of discovering it all … love, gratitude and peace in your heart.”

Deborah Brown agrees, “when you turn your life sideways and write on the edge, that’s where the magic is found.”
