Why Diamonds in Dumpster Fires
Finding diamonds in the dumpster fires of life means finding the glimmers of good in an otherwise bad situation. And no, I certainly do not mean in the form of toxic positivity.
What a strange title for a podcast, right?
And yet, this phrase has been my anthem over the past several years.
When I got divorced in the middle of the pandemic and never saw my ex again
When I tried my hand at dating apps and got played over and over again by guys who had no intention of anything serious with me
When I had to find a new career, and then do it AGAIN after an unexpected layoff
Finding diamonds in the dumpster fires of life means finding the glimmers of good in an otherwise bad situation. And no, I certainly do not mean in the form of toxic positivity.
Because, first of all, gross.
And second of all…I am the least toxically positive person you’ll probably meet. In fact, I’m a bit grumpy, cynical, and don’t even get me started on a rant about any of the topics above.
But, I do have one thing that gets me through all the craziness of life…God. And no, this isn’t going to turn into a PollyAnna baby-talk sermon. My promise to you is to always be 100% real. And reality sucks sometimes. But, if we see it through, God does have a plan and no, that plan does not always show up with a shiny bow and a dimple. But it will all make sense someday.
