Perfectionist Qualities Saved Us
Hi, I’m Marilyn O’Malley and I’m a perfectionist! It all started when I was four years old and my parents got in a big fight in front of me and I thought it was my fault for having too much fun. Shortly after the fight, my parents divorced and no one explained the disappearance of my father to me. Then my grandmother pulled my little four year old body close to her and looked sternly in my eyes and said, “you’d better be good for your mom or you could lose her too!” Holiest of crap! I became the good girl extraordinary instantly. Being young and...
Read MoreHO! HO! HO! or NO! NO! NO!
I don’t know about you but the holidays can have me bouncing from glee to dread. And the more I thought about what the holiday experience the more I saw how we can feel schizophrenic during the holiday because it brings out the BEST in us along with all our NEEDINESS.

Because we...

Read MoreTools for Riding the Energetic Rollercoaster
This week from Marilyn: The last couple of months have been an energy roller coaster ride, physically, emotionally, and mentally for me. In speaking to my clients and friends I am not the only one experiencing this energetic enfolding. https://media.blubrry.com/millennials_money_cafe/marilynomalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Energy-Meditation1.mp3 What I have noticed is this: I feel more connected to myself, others, and nature. I find when I am clear on what I want, I manifest very, very quickly. I am being very selective about what I do with my time. I have a strong calling to be more...
Read MoreI’m Highly Sensitive; Am I OK?
I am a highly sensitive person. When I walk into a room, I pick up on the mood, the decorations, the high and low energy of people, and lots of other subtleties. My intuition is incredibly awake. Without an understanding of my personal boundary between my energy and the rest of my environment, I can become easily overwhelmed. It’s like I am a leaf blowing around in the wind. Not everybody values my highly sensitive trait. That sometimes makes me feel flawed and then I take on an ‘I’ll show you’ attitude. As I learn more about my highly sensitive self, I experience the value and accept...
