Sidetracked She-Ra? Me? The Princess of Power?

I totally just today found my spirit animal, my pop-culture role model, my own mini idol! For years it was a family joke that I possess the strength of She-Ra. I am in some ways freakishly strong, or perhaps just unwise. If it needs to be lifted or moved I will move it. I will find a way. I might wedge against a wall and push with my feet. I may or may not enlist help. The older I get I tend to lean on the hubs for most of the heavy lifting but in a pinch I will get it done. Anyway I have channeled She-Ra for years for heavy lifting. And in many ways my entire life has been spent leading a Great although sometimes poorly conceived  Rebellion. In short She-Ra rocked when I was six and she does now too!
So the sidetracked part? Well, lets face it I am sidetracked personified. I have incredibly varied interests, a chaotic life, and many roles I fill. I am interested in everything and I tend to dive in. DIVE in. Because I dive in I have some very...diverse...yeah, diverse, responsibilities. Because I am also the opposite of self disciplined I struggle to maintain and rarely meet the goals for most of my endeavors. That sounds all negative and sure in many ways it is. In many ways also however I have garnered experiences and skills that serve me well.
While I might not be self disciplined I am easily entertained, passionate, resourceful, and spontaneous. I see potential in EVERYTHING and EVERYONE, including myself.  I write because its how I process things. I crave consistency and hope to utilize blogging as a win win method of making small steps in my quest towards building one positive life habit! Just one. I figure that once I master one I  can attempt two and so on until I am actually able to be an adult! Really, this whole Princess of Power thing is completely perfect for me. One day I will be able to pull off Queen...the royal version not the 'I wish I could do my make up like that' version. In the meantime I think I will just try this.
So when I think about this blog and what it will be about I think of it as a charting of my sometimes mundane, sometimes hilarious, often misguided adventures in parenting, "hobby farming", holistic and sustainable living attempts. I don't know exactly how to narrow down the content because I am guessing this will just be a reflection of me...sidetracked She-Ra.
