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

Her shadow in the corner
Brought peace to my life
As I struggled to find Her,
Alone every night.
But faithfully she watched over,
In the shadows of my life.

Who reflects Our Father's Light

..
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.
Who I'd like to meet: 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 all those strong enough to push forward, 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.

Working with diamonds is such an amazing balance in my life. I am so blessed to be able to witness new hope in the lives of those "In Love", working at the "World's Biggest Engagement Ring Store", RobbinsBros.com.
As in the creation of a diamond; there is a lot of pressure while walking in your healing. However, look at the possibilities, the pressure can bring!

our attitude and outlook on life determine how far we will get; we are the only ones stopping ourselves from living the life we want for there's always a chance for things to get better as long as we believe in ourselves and don't give up and quit.
