Do we still judge and hold opinion towards "The Gift?"

I was watching a program the other day regarding The Salem Witch hunt and I could only imagine what the women and men were feeling when they were told that they were going to be put to death in front of their families for using their intuition to better their lives and the lives of others around them.  I know it was a long time ago, 1622 to be exact but, does the same feeling hold true to psychics and mediums to date? Having your children and your children's children watch you lie in the middle of the street and be stoned to death or hung for who you are. Sounds gruesome huh? Do you know that our gift has nothing to do with religion!? NOTHING! It is not placed in our lives to hurt you, so why would some judge otherwise?  We are born into this world with a gift of a deeper knowledge and understanding, of protecting and guiding. This is not something that we learn from a manual or we read in a book. The ability to speak to the other side is not a class that you take at the local community college. Seeing Cancer or a serious disease in someone is not a guessing game. No matter how many ailments we predict, lives we sway, etc, we are and will always be a challenge to some. Is it that you judge what you don't understand? Is it easier to think negatively about something and try to connect it to your belief system? I have a right as a women and a mother to not be judged. This world is hard enough as it is. I know my only intention is to bring positive energy into someone else's life!

Over time we look back into the past and are in disbelief of how people were treated. My only hope is that someday my voice will be heard. I am the same as you! I am a kind, funny, loving and genuine person. I have my own two children who look into my eyes everyday and think that I am everything to them. When I look back into their eyes knowing that they too are "gifted," I want them to never have to go through what I have gone through my entire life. I would hope and pray that through my hard work that someday this "reputation" will be washed away! It may take time and I understand that. I do feel that each and everyday that goes by and no one is speaking of our struggles is a wasted day that I have to look into my children's eyes and have worry that someday they may be verbally stoned as I have been in the past. I am very blessed by my friends, clients, etc. who have held my name up high--who have opened their path to me and we have created miracles together. To know me is to understand that I have not had it easy. Don't think for a second that this has been beneficial my whole entire life. Yes, I smile throughout my struggles and I try to educate those who do not understand me as to what The Universe really is. But, deep down inside I hurt. I even hurt within my own family. I try to stay positive but it's very hard. I focus on what advice I bring to you. Everything happens for a reason. I am, who I am because of the hardships I have gone through. Otherwise, I would not be me. A very wise women once told me that, "Every great person on this earth has dragged their feet through the mud before they realized that they could just jump over the puddle!" It's true! So I've put on my little rubber ducky boots and I'm jumping along!...........but why does there have to be puddles? I dedicate this entry to everyone (not just Psychics and Mediums) who have been or will be judged by what they believe in, the color of their skin, or who they prefer to be in love with! The only one that should judge you is YOU!
