I had a radio interview yesterday with Jon Hansen talking about my story. It wound up being a very candid, open, honest discussion about the end of my marriage and what it was like to start over. I talk a lot about the transition to becoming a single mom and what the impact has been on my children. I also talk about what the blog has meant to me in my healing process.
Check it out and let me know what you think, I hope it give you further incite into me 🙂

Sometimes…

Sarah Centrella Posted in Relationships — 2 Comments ↓

Sometimes the people we love let us down.

Like in a big way.

Sometimes no matter how hard we want to please them, we wind up failing them.

No matter what our intentions are, they are misread… misunderstood.

Sometimes there is nothing we can do to bridge the communication gap. The gap between our heart, our words and our actions.

Our efforts fail us.

When you feel as though you have tried you hardest to get through, but what your left with is bruise’s for the effort.

At what point do you walk away?

Say though I love you, though you are connected to me, you bring me pain and not joy.

Therefore I chose joy over pain.

I chose my happiness and well-being over more of the same with you.

The guilt is dangerous.

It can suck you in.

It can consume your soul.

So you must cut the cord.

You must walk away to save yourself.

A Love Letter to My Babies…

Posted on September 26, 2011 by

Sarah Centrella Posted in Parenting — 2 Comments ↓

This is my love letter to you…

My beautiful children.

I’ve waited all my life to find your love. I’ve searched in all the wrong places. I’ve sought the approval, love and attention of all the wrong people.

Ones that in the end betray me. Leave me. Seek to destroy me.

But then you came into my life.

From the moment I knew your life was inside me I knew your love would be the kind I’ve searched for.

I knew it would be deeper than any I could find.

I knew not only would I love you with my every breath and fiber, I knew you would love me back.

You would love me on good days. On days when I was the fun happy “perfect” mom.

But even more importantly you would love me the days when I am not.

The days when life’s burdens are so heavy and hard to bear.

The days when I feel overwhelmed, or sad or frustrated.

Yes Dear Ones, The Loves of My Life… you would even love me then.

You’d love me after a scolding, or while being praised for a job well done.

You’d love me just because, just because I am me.

Because I am your mama.

Because I love you more than the air I breathe.

Because I would fight to the death for you.

Because you are my joy, my sunshine, my purpose, my meaning, my heart and my life.

I know our bond and our love is stronger than any other I could ever hope to find.

I know I will always smother you with love, without condition. I want you to grow up basking in that knowledge so you don’t seek it in all the wrong places.

I know I can rest assured that you will always love me back.

Thank you for being God’s gift to me.

Thank you for lighting up my life, with laughter, joy and happiness.

I pray every day I don’t disappoint you.

I pray every day I make you proud.

I love you,

Love mama.

Random Conversations with My Trainer….

Just for fun….Random conversations with my Trainer Jerymaine Beasley

Texts to setup our first orientation time:

Him: can you meet Saturday at 4:30?

Me: Sure. Wait, Sat…Oh that’s Oregon football day. 4:30’s after the game, there’s a large possibility I will be slightly, too moderately drunk. Are we gonna workout or just talk about working out? Cuz if we are actually gonna workout, I’m guessing I’m no good to you drunk..?

Him: Work out for about 7 minutes.

Me: 7 minutes are you serious? Damn idk about that. OK I’ll get my shit together. I’ll rally. I can do this.

Him: See you Friday at noon.

My trainer hates me. Not the person I want hating me.

Our first meeting: Dreaded orientation.

Him: So how long have you been unhappy about your body?

Me: Since I started watching Dr. 90210

Him: Ohhkay. Well what parts of your body would you like to “fix”.

Me: Any part that plastic surgery would address. Also any part that’s visible.

Him: Sure. OK.

Him: Anything specific you’d like to focus on?

Me: Arms, legs, abs (or lack thereof) bootie and boobies, probably to start with…

Him: I’ll just write down “chest”.

He pulls out a goals chart with 4 goals.

Him: These are the 4 goals or reasons people come to a trainer. Based on our conversations it seems like #1 is what you would like, but I’ll let you pick.

Lose weight, get lean muscle
Something, something
Build muscle, strength training.
Performance training, elite athlete acceleration.

Him: So which would you like to focus on?

Me: I think it’s pretty clear I’m here for #4.

Him: Look of shock and horror, not sure if he should laugh out loud or hide it for fear of crushing my lack of reality.

Him: Well we can work on that. Maybe we could start with #1. And work up to that?

Me: I’m kidding, you can laugh now.

Him: visible relief and a laugh (I made him laugh!)

Welcome to Sarah’s world. I’m sorry, you have no idea what you got yourself into! We’re gonna have FUN.If you in the Portland Oregon area Coach J holds a FREE boot-camp every Sat… sign up on his Facebook page and get your fitness back!

Awesome Things My Kids Say.

Posted on September 22, 2011 by

In the category “Random Awesomeness” comes some random conversations that I just love with my kidos. Mira and Izzy are identical twin girls and are 4 years old. Kanen is my very mature 8 year old son.

~Kanen while shopping at Costco: Mama can you buy me this Lego set?
Mama: No way! It’s $45.00!
Kanen: How do you know that?
Mama: Because it says so on the sign.
Kanen: Oh. Curse you little sign!

Mira talking to her sister while listening to Katie Parry’s Last Friday Night in the car: OMG!! She had MANGOS in her pool!!!! Izzy: I KNOW and she smells like a candy bar!!!”

· ~Leaving WINCO Foods (grocery shopping)~

Izzy: Mamma I had a dream that we went shopping, and I said ‘mama can I buy something?’ and you said ‘sure darling!’ …. And then I woke up.

Mamma: (laughing) Yep! Sounds about right.

(I never buy my kids’ stuff at the store, unless we go to a store to buy them stuff).

~Mira to me: I love you mama, but you should REALLY shave your legs!

~Mira in the car going to pick up my son: Why is the light GREEN but none of the cars are driving?? Izzy: Cuz their all texting their phones!

~Izzy at the farmers market walking past the live band:
If I hear this music, it’s gonna make me HAVE to dance!

· ~Mira making coffee for me this morning:

Me: Oh goodness I’m so sore from working out with my trainer yesterday…

Mira: That’s good mama!

Me: Why’s that my love?

Mira: Cuz if you’re not sore it means you’re not working hard enough and you’re NOT healthy.

Me: Good point.

· ~While driving in the car (Izzy is scared out of her mind of the Easter bunny)~

Kanen to Izzy: You know there’s no Easter bunny right?
Me: Kanen! You don’t know that!

Kanen: YES I do!

Me: How do you know that for a fact?

Kanen: Because when we were at Target buying Easter candy and baskets you said “close your eyes and pretend there’s an Easter Bunny”.

Me: Damn.

~Sunday morning me still in bed waking up:

Mira “mama
if you come downstairs and put on my movie I will snuggle you”

Me:
“what! your bribing me with snuggles? Can I just have a morning hug n
kiss?”

Mira: “Mamma I said: if you put my movie on I will give you a
snuggle, I wont give you anything if you don’t”.

Where does she learn this
negation style? damit.
