The infinite 8s began back in 2012 as quick dips or  quick writes.
They were an easy creative exercise – first dip into a literary source for inspiration then set the timer for 8 minutes and write.*

And then share it. The scariest part.
But it’s about accountability, not perfection. I was consistent for a year and the exercise sparked productivity. I did some live storytelling. I did some improv. I made a little film. I gathered stories to expand on and characters to develop. Then things changed.
There was upheaval in my personal world and I literally changed the landscape by moving to New York. The dips continued sporadically, the sources became more random and varied (subway advertising, overheard remarks) but the spark sputtered out eventually.

I’m not sure what this incarnation will end up looking like but I love the number 8. I love the infinite wisdom of Yoga & Ayurveda. I love sharing wisdom and stories. And I love that entries should never take more than 8 minutes of your time. Of course things could get knocked sideways at any point…

*the writes take 8 min. but i do take a minute to edit for spelling and grammar.
