But not all of her has died. During the first month after her death, Estella’s spirit travels among her living friends and family. Her best friends Zara, Eva and Jett show her how pain and sorrow can break apart or strengthen a bond. She also sees for the first time that loss can spark revenge and destructive behavior, catastrophe can come without warning, and we all have secrets. She wonders if her chance for love with Phoenix has passed her by, and if out of sight truly means out of mind. And maybe one day the girl who caused her death will admit her mistake. While adjusting to a new state of being, Estella struggles to face the limitations that come with death, but blossoms by recognizing she can still touch the lives of the people she once knew so well.
"If something has been on your mind for some time now making you wonder if it’s possible or if taking that chance would be worth it and if you should pursue it, recognize it as your inner-voice, there’s a purpose for that thought of wonder, that something is not something to ignore, that ‘something’ is what you should do." In this segment Isobella Jade shares how she stays inspired while setting and accomplishing goals. "It's not easy to encourage yourself sometimes but think about the reason why you want to do something, think about why it is important to you and the joy of finishing something and reaching that place of fulfillment from not giving up and sticking with it." This segment is based on listening to that voice inside and going with your gut and giving yourself and your goal or dream a chance. for more on Isobella Jade and to check out her books stop by: www.isobelladreams.com
