R.A.W. Raw Authentic Woman

R.A.W- Raw, Authentic Woman

This is an acronym I came up many, many years ago, when a business coach asked me to find a simple, powerful way to describe ME. I was going to make it R.A.M raw Authentic Me but I didn’t want to be confused with the astrology ram or the animal!

Since then, I have seen some similar versions of the acronym. And that is the thing about this third dimension, our thoughts are received all around the glob and beyond. In fact, it is the “beyond” that is more the thing to have greater respect and awareness of.

Flash back to my school years, I was given lines to write on the board in grade ONE, think Bart Simpson! Yes, grade one, can you believe that? If you know me you are probably laughing and saying yes, I can believe it! Why was I made to write lines? Because it was rude to say hello to my teacher when he walked by where I was sitting with my Mum watching Dad play badminton.

In year 3, 8 years of age I was sent to the office and got 3 strikes with the cane, yes, the cane!  Why? Because the girl next to me spoke to me and I answered, apparently, I was a ringleader and that was no good I had to be punished and made an example of!

Fast forward I was winning debate teams and guess what I was the leader of the team. I was a High School Prefect and Captain of the Sports faction team. Writing lines, getting the cane being a labelled a ringleader did not stop me from being the Raw, Authentic Woman that I grew to be in fact that I have always been.

During my nursing years I was a union rep, I stood up for the nurses who were being given a tough time or not treated fairly, there has always been something inside of me that simply will not stand for people being treated wrongly.

“I just want to fit in” this is not something I have ever resonated with; at school I was not the least interested in being in any of the little click groups and to this day I am the same. I smile when “spiritual” people tell me they do not fit in and never have.

Why do I smile because they are so systemised, compliant, obedient to Government and societal expectations. Not me, not then, not now, not ever.

Several years ago, I was asked to cleanse a house (no not clean it cleanse it), as I sat in my car to leave the lady standing at her door called to me. She said, “you know Gwenda I have met a lot of spiritual people and I have had a some come to my house, they all talk a certain way, dress similar…and then there is you!” I laughed and said, “That’s right, and then there is me!”

I drove away clicking my heels together, because I can, laughing all the way home.

R.A.W.; Raw Authentic Woman. I do not fit into any one’s little box, I am far from compliant, and obedient. I know what it is to be an authentic healer, mystic and powerhouse for Divine Union.

I see beyond the construct of this world and when I say I see, I mean see, not some image in my mind’s eye. When I look into your eyes, I see what lies beneath. When I look into your body, I see what is not working well, what’s broken or inflamed or dis-eased.

It is awesome to walk in my shoes, it is magical, amazing and wonderful.

I have met some talented clairvoyants and psychics they make some remarkable remarks toward me. I smile and walk on by; I know the energy I weave and leave.

R.A.W.; Gwenda by name, something else by nature.
