About Me

Best viewed in Internet Explorer----------------Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says: "Oh shit...She's awake!!!----------------If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain - Emily Dickinson--------------------------------------------------- FoRe! Beyond the Green Ministries, Inc.--- A FoRce To Promote Action - Changing The Face Of Abuse 'The only way to find the limits of the possible is by going Beyond them to the impossible' ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------I AM comfortable in my own skin, Loving the Life that I Live, Living the Life that I Love! It's a scary thing when the reality of your life, the one that you have been trying to run from, you finally run into, and. . . you really really like Her! . . . I survived! I AM a "VICTOR" - not a victim! I AM an OVERCOMER who speaks FoRe! those who can't. Those who have been touched by Child Sexual Abuse, Law Enforcement/Officer Involved Domestic Violence, and Date Rape! I AM a Woman Raising the Volume! I believe everything happens FoRe! A Purpose. And I am learning that if you get a chance. . . Take It! - If it happens to change your life. . . Let It!-------------------------------------------
..I started on a healing journey Jan'00, from Law Enforcement/Officer Involved Domestic Violence, eventually teaching others how to heal their self-esteem. Even though I was working through my own DV issues, the door to my child sexual abuse, I chose to remain closed. In April'05, the door opened as the first man I started dating didn’t take my NO for an answer, yet with the rape, came a freedom to be able to speak up for all who have been silenced by abuse; especially the child within. Now a National Speaker for RAINN - Rape Abuse Incest National Network, Founder/CEO of ‘FoRe! Beyond the Green’: A Force To Promote Action Changing The Face Of Abuse, and as a single mother, I‘m passionate about people healing. I am not a therapist nor want to be, but just a simple woman, daring everyday to walk in my healing as an example FoRe! ‘1’. Did You Know? ‘1’ in 3 girls & ‘1’ in 6 boys will be sexually abused, and go silent? Silence Is Deadly! Did You Know? We can be our own biggest abuser simply because removing a victim from the abuse does not end the issues? The ‘misuse’ must be removed from the soul = all you think, want, & feel. FoRe! is dedicated to locking arms and joining voices for children of all ages silenced by abuse. As a survivor, I often wondered what other survivors looked like, since perpetrators and shame, use our silence to keep us from talking to ‘1’ another. My dreams and purpose are being birthed as I'm finally able to see my own reflection moving from being a survivor, to overcoming the effects of ‘Domestic-Sexual’ abuse. Hi! My name is Maria. Welcome to My Space. Please take the time to checkout the information here. Everything is FoRe! A Purpose! If you are in crisis: Please call RAINN @ 1 800 656 HOPE. Take good care and know you are not alone.

A FoRce To Promote Action - Changing The Face Of Abuse

My Interests

I love the KEEGAN songs and the boys that made them come to life! Regarding Law Enforcement/Officer Involved Domestic Violence: "BRAME TRAGEDY SPURS FEDERAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROGRAM" *Because It's Business - Not Personal*"We coincidentally, that's if you believe in coincidences, once shared a name and story that was the same. However, my voice made it through while thier's were silenced. I now choose to speak up for those who can't. Having been married to two Law Enforcement Officers(LEO), my perspective is unique as I continue to hold the utmost respect, for those in uniform. For those who have survived and are strong enough to overcome, it is not about how we died that will be remembered, but how we chose to live. And, it is not about our story, but what we do because of it. May God continue to bless, protect & strengthen us all, and bring peace into the lives of those still suffering in silence." ~Maria[Brame]DiGiovanni "We all know what obstacles domestic violence victims face but imagine the choices a victim faces when their abuser is in the very profession that is charged to protect her." Rep. Jay Inslee ___________________
__________________Life and death rest in the power of a gun and the tongue!Domestic violence is abuse one person uses to maintain power and control over another in a relationship. Abuse can include physical harm, sexual demands, insults, threats, isolation, emotional control and financial control._________________________________Regarding Child Sexual Abuse: Research conducted with large samples of women estimate that, using a broad definition of sexual abuse, 30 to 45% of women (1 in 2, to 1 in 3) and 13-16% of men (1 in 6) reported an experience of sexual abuse in childhood (Becker and Reilly, 1999; MMWR, 1997). _________________________________Regarding Rape: _________________________________ Regarding Spiritual Abuse: The worse form! _________________________________ SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: _______ Abuse Is Color Blind! __________________ _________________________________TODAY:9/22 God gave me Fireworks!

I'd like to meet:

Cloud Writer! * * * It's all about healing and moving forward, in order to end the cycle of abuse, FoRe! our children! After watching the documentary, 'Searching For Angela Shelton', I went home and Googled my legal last name = BRAME. What I found was no coincidence. Thank you to both, Angela and Cloud, for being so brave and courageous. The tragic case of a Tacoma woman murdered by her Police Chief husband in April 2003, was the impetus behind a ground-breaking domestic violence grant program that was approved by the Senate and House. It's the first time the federal government specifically has addressed the sensitive issue of domestic violence committed by law-enforcement officials. I'd Like to Meet: ALL THOSE DEDICATED TO ENDING THE SILENCE OF ABUSE, WORLDWIDE.WOMEN who want to lock arms and join voices, as there is power in numbers. Women who understand the value of strong safe female relationships. Women who are compassionate to the needs of those affected by Domestic-Sexual abuse.GENTLEMEN, who love women hurt by Domestic-Sexual abuse and are strong enough to see them through, learning more about themselves in the process. Gentlemen who are safe. Gentlemen, strong enough to know how to be a friend always. Gentlemen, with the depth to appreciate complex women.
