I’m calling this blog “Harvesting Joy” because that is my goal in life right now.

I’ve created this very public airing of my dirty laundry because…..

I need to vent.

I am the Adult Child of an Alcoholic.

Gee, that’s not enough. Alcoholic doesn’t BEGIN to encompass the the depth and breadth of character flaws and narcissistic tendencies of my paternal parental unit.

I am writing this as a testimony.  I have survived.  I have even THRIVED, but only after moving 1300 miles away.  Only distance has given me the ability to catch my balance and begin living life to it’s fullest.
