Thriving on isolation and disconnection...

Creativity thrives on isolation and disconnection... it flourishes in marginal spaces and liminal times
...feeds on chaos. 

— Bruce Feiler (Author of the book Life is in the Transitions: Mastering Change at Any Age)

Feiler mentions Michelangelo, Monet, Frida Kahlo and Beethoven as celebrated artists who rose to new heights in their work as a response to disruption and adversity. Personally speaking, I reached a record high level in my own career/life post 2008 financial crisis. I had no choice but to reinvent myself. As jobs were scarce, I thought about my skill set, made up “Consulting” business cards and got busy networking. Through a friend of a friend, at the local coffee shop, I found my lifeline to recovery. What I continue to find amazing is how much there is to learn, regardless of age and experience. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
