For nine years I lived with an incredible man. We threw parties and fundraisers that people
would talk about for weeks. Together, we
survived as many heartaches as we celebrated new loves. We spent winter months wrapped up in blankets,
watching hours and hours of HGTV, and summer months planning how to put all that
knowledge to good use in our backyard. And after almost a decade together……I am leaving. He is replacing me with someone that is more
suited to his evolving tastes. More simple,
more streamlined, in his words, “more sophisticated”.
And I couldn’t be happier. Because in this case, his loss will become
someone else’s gain. I’m moving in with
someone else. To a new home where I will
undoubtedly feel needed and appreciated beyond measure. My simple presence will lift up broken
spirits, provide refuge to weary bodies, and offer comfort to hopeless
hearts. And I will find myself "at home" once again.

The Red Couch That Is Ready to Cozy Up To Someone New
*** The Bluegrass Rape Crisis Center, and many small non-profits, survive and thrive, on the generosity of supporters such as the owner of this awesome "new to us" red couch. Before you break up with something for good, take a moment to ponder how much joy it might offer someone else. Thank you for showing the love to your local non-profit!
