Living In Two Worlds


I have been thinking about the fact that I live in two worlds.

It gets kind of weird sometimes. Really weird at other times.

You see, I’m an Internet Marketer by trade. I specifically work in Micro Niche and Affiliate Marketing. I own my own business, I am my own boss, I work from home and all that good stuff. I’m blessed in many ways.


As an Internet Marketer I deal in a world filled with numbers.

  • Keyword Research numbers
  • Search Engine Optimization numbers
  • Clickouts
  • Hits
  • Pageviews
  • Conversion Rates
  • Gravity
  • Split Testing
The list goes on and on. Thankfully I love the numbers game because it takes just the right combinations and formulas for success in Internet Marketing.

For Huckleberry Media Connection to flourish, I must be constantly testing the numbers.

Now Peaceful Paths, under which this blog and my Kundalini Reiki practice fall, is a different animal altogether. Not so much a numbers game. Now clients and prices and subscriptions are important to Peaceful paths, but somehow I don’t obsess over them like I do with my marketing business.

As a Kundalini Reiki Master/Teacher I deal in a world of words.
 
I write, blog, teach, and learn. Much of what I do is very esoteric and “out there.” I love learning and teaching and writing about topics like Reiki, Tarot, angels, energy shifts, auras and a host of other areas related to the spiritual life.

At this point in my life I must say this about my two distinctly different worlds:
One feeds me – the other frees me.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE what I do in marketing. It turns my crank in so many ways. I laugh and play at the game.

But I’m never as free as I am when I’m sending or receiving Reiki with incense burning in the room and New Age music laying in the background. I love and learn in the moment.

Just my two cents for today.

What about you? I’m betting most of us live in two (or a dozen) different worlds. How does it affect you?

Share you story below – I’d love to continue the conversation!
