Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Uma relação saudável, ela nunca irá causar dor. Evidente que, cada casal, tem os seus problemas. É natural que tenham. Mas essas pessoas sabem dialogar de uma forma que, isso não venha extrapolar limites, nem machucar o outro, ou mesmo “faltar com respeito com a outra pessoa”. Porém, não se nota a mesma coisa diante de relacionamentos abusivos. Neste tipo de relação, observa que os parceiros extrapolam limites, agem com falta de respeito, e na maioria dos casos, se constata agressão física. Isso, porque nem se coloca, a questão das agressões psicologicas, e a violência sexual. Voce entende? Quando se fala sobre as características desses relacionamentos, há homens que acham que existem colocações exageradas diante dessa realidade Eu pergunto ” Onde?” Se a manipulação e o excesso de controle estão presentes diante dessas histórias?!

Do Better Project web page creation request

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

      Has anyone got the time/energy to do this:

     We “need a landing page that is just about Project Do Better.  Just a simple page that has a big picture explanation (preferably including visual formats like an infographic), the option to click for more detailed explanations, social media graphics & suggested text for spreading the word, and a forum where the community of volunteers comes together to work on the project. This could be a simple website made on Squarespace or perhaps a LinkTree page. “

    for the project, as a free site?

Shira
