Weekend With A Blue Jay

 This past weekend was an interesting one for me because I had a surprise guest deep inside my mind and it was a pretty blue jay.

I find it interesting that a blue jay started to appear in my head when I was feeling extremely frustrated with myself and really everything. Even more interesting, I felt so calming and peaceful during that time and decided to investigate and learn more about the blue jay and why it has become a fixture in my mind.

During my research I learned about the spiritual meaning behind seeing a blue jay and the results surprised me. For starters, the blue jay symbolizes truth, fearlessness and clear communication as these birds are known for being bold and loud calls.

Many people believe that blue jays are messengers from beyond telling us to speak our minds, trust ourselves and care for those we hold dear. In fact, there are four things I discovered about seeing a blue jay and I would like to discuss about them.

Number One. Finding my voice, according to this the color blue of the blue jay represents clarity, reason and the throat chakra in some traditions. Basically the blue jay is saying to me to open up, speak my mind, be true to myself. 

This one is interesting to me because for many years of my life, I never really had the chance to find myself. Even if I do find some things about myself I want to explore, I'm scared to bring it up due to being judged or misunderstood and a lot times in my life, I have been and it can be frustrating. I worry about being a disappointment to myself, my family and God, yet at the same time, I feel like I need to know and I can not hold things in or I will go back to destroying myself again. Maybe the blue jay is telling me to open up and in future blog posts and life in general, I should write about topics that I am afraid to reveal about myself.

Number Two, many people consider the blue jays messengers from loved ones who had passed away and are using the blue jay as a sign of comfort and healing as well as reminding you that you are being watched over.

This makes sense to me because like a cardinal, when I saw a blue jay, it reminded me of my Nan and Pap. There was definitely a comforting feeling over me throughout this process and it was greatly needed. To be honest, I have been feeling like a failure because like many of us, we are all struggling to get by in this world and a lot of unknowns are happening and none of us are even sure what to think at this point. But again, seeing this blue jay, just gives me another reminder that God is watching me and everything is going to be alright. Just keep moving forward, no matter what.

Number Three, the blue jay is a very protective bird and will do anything to protect their nests from predators. It is explaining to me that I need to protect my boundaries, my energy and stay true to those that matter to me the most.

For me, this was a bit of a tough one for me to understand when I read it. Mainly because I am not so sure who I am anymore with all of this craziness happening in the world. My biggest fear though, is as much as I want to protect myself, I worry that it has prevented me to opening up to others and made me a bit paranoid about being around other people. I need to fix that!

Lastly, Number Four, it talks about being able to adapt to things. Saying blue jays spiritually adapt to life's challenges, encouraging me to showcase my inner strength as well as planning for the future and trust that my current efforts will grow into something meaningful.

So, with this one I was remembering an fortune cookie I had read a little while ago. It talked about trusting the divine timing of my life's journey this year. And also with me trying to use my blog as well as my talk show on YouTube, to help others and find ways to bring us all closer together. I also have this feeling God is telling to keep moving forward, don't give up. Maybe this is yet another sign from above.

Well that was my weekend lol. Hope and pray that everyone had a great and safe weekend. Who knows, maybe I needed that spiritual retreat from the outside world. I do worry that I am going to overthink this and forget to move forward. I hope to be more confident in myself as I try to make these life decisions and hopefully you will all be there for the ride. Thank you all for your support!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

Congrats To Trent Hidlay! (World Champion)

 Although, it has become common knowledge, by many of us who live in Mifflin County. But former Huskies' great Trent Hidlay pulled off an incredible comeback and became the 2025 World Wrestling Champion in Croatia at 92 kg. After being down 10-2, Hidlay powered his way back to defeat Amanula Gadzhimagomedov 13-10 to win the World's Gold Medal. This is such an inspirational story that needs to be told because stuff like this does not happen very often, especially in a small community like Mifflin County.  To me, the story of Trent is all about never giving up and continuing to push forward as well as hard work and dedication. What this young man has done is truly remarkable. I have been covering local sports for over ten years now and seeing where Trent has started to where he is now really puts a smile on my face. I mean this kid has won two State championships when he was in High School before moving on to Division 1 college wrestling at NC State. While there, Trent was a fou...

The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: HWF Summerfest!

Image
 Ah yes, yesterday was one of my favorite moments of the summer season. And that is the annual Summerfest event held by HWF which is the local wrestling federation run by my long time friend Matt Silks. Although this is the fifth annual Summerfest under the HWF banner, this event has been since I first met Matt back in high school and has held a special place in hearts of many of us pro wrestling fans here in Central PA. It is crazy to think how far something like this has come, I mean I was a freshmen in high school when I first met Matt and the gang. Of course, back then it was just a bunch a kids and a simple trampoline. Now look at it, it has become such a big event around town. Which honestly makes me smile because something like this in a small town like Lewistown. It is something to help people come out together and enjoy some good old wrestling. It also brings a tear to my eye because I remember the talks I have had with not just Matt, but several other people about doing s...

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...
