A Special Valentine For SoulfulEncounters

February is a special time for us to show love to the people we care about.
Igor Packer is sharing this Valentine Poem with SoulfulEncounters members. He is sending the message out to take the chance...Come join SoulfulEncounters if you are medically disabled or differently abled. You never know when a circumstance is about to come to you. Love could be a click away!!!

Taking a chance.

I took a chance,
The circumstance just came around.
I waited long,
My pretty blond, has just been found.
I asked her out
To a café, for a cup of tea,
Connected with her right away,
She was so pretty.
And now, evenings are so long,
But never lonely,
Cause, I have you, and you have me,
And life is lovely.

Soulful Encounters Goes "Radio"!!!!

SoulfulEncounters.com is getting a lot of publicity and the disabled are worthy of this. We have come a long way baby but "miles to go before we sleep". We now made it to a radio station with host Shauna Rae CJBK AM. Thank you Shauna! We need everyone's help to overcome our isolation. Shauna thought that Soulful Encounters for the medically disabled and differently abled was a great undertaking and for a worthy cause. Soulful gives its members an opportunity to connect with others who have disabilities and helps to remove the isolation that hinders them to find someone to love...someone to love them back. I have found that the disabled have their own class and that is First Class. We thank everyone who tries to help us so that our voice could be heard. The disabled do not have a handicapped heart! Yes, there are extra challenges but having someone by their side helps to normalize their every day living.
If anyone out there would like to do a human interest story about Soulful Encounters and its disabled members we would appreciate it greatly.
I wonder what is next for Soulful...join us for the next episode.

A SPECIAL VALENTINE FOR THE DISABLED!

February is the month for love and a Valentine is offered to the disabled members of SoulfulEncounters.com. Ben Benedict, of The Londoner, was instrumental in getting Soulful Encounters more members to my site for the medically and physically challenged. By featuring my website,SoulfulEncounters.com, he expresses that there is another place to look for love...on SoulfulEncounters. Ben talks about giving Valentine's Day a new perspective..He gives the disabled a chance to voice their desires through myself and through a few Soulful Encounters members whom he interviewed. Ben realizes that the Soulful Encounters website gives hope to the disabled. There are challenges but the outcome could fill the heart with renewed dreams, hope and energy...The heart, after all ,is not handicapped. One Soulful Encounters member is quick to admit that they too(the physically and medically challenged) are proud sexual beings and not asexual as some are led to believe..
So, we thank Ben for doing an awesome in depth feature in the Londoner about the struggles of the disabled. I consider this to be a great valentine to the disabled community. We have been pushed into the background for too long and we are longing to come forward. Little by little, with interviews such as this our voice is heard.
Come embrace our disability community and share with us the hopes and dreams that love could be a click away!

Wonders Never Cease And Neither Do Problems!

Building the space for www.SoulfulEncounters.com has had many happy times and many bumps along the way. But once these are overcome I am sure that we will triumph and be the best site as an online dating community for the medically disabled and differently abled. We had the forum up and available for posting but lately there has been a few snags along the way that need to be ironed out. This is disappointing since we waited a long time for the message boards but I am confident that it is just what I said a snag--a little bump that needs straightening out. www.SoulfulEncounters.com has also tried three different chat rooms and did not approve of any..Now we are about to embark in another. Soulful Encounters members are so excited about chatting with each other that they wish to continue to use an inferior one for the time being. It is amazing that in the chat room you are quickly able to get the feel of this disabled dating community. Members, who are mostly housebound, enjoy it immensely because it is a great way to reach out and get human contact. So let us wait with anticipation for a better chat room and a wonderful physically and medically disabled group to share it with.

Check in and see what is happening next!

FEBRUARY IS MONTH OF LOVE

February is the month of love and the month of hope. Soulfulencounters stands for hope and love! Come join our community with the hopes of finding your true love.
Soulfulencounters is for the medically disabled and differently abled.

HOPE IS A THING WITH FEATHERS
BY Emily Dickinson

Hope is a thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings a tune without words
And never stops at all.

And sweetest, in the gale, is heard
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That keeps so many warm.

I've heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea
Yet, never, in extremity
It ask a crumb of me.

How true these words are of Ms. Dickinson...
Hope is a thing with feathers that perches in the soul..
Everyone needs to hang on to the hope that tomorrow will bring something new, something fresh, something warm.. We are all born to love and be loved!
Come join SoulfulEncounters.com with the hope that love could be a click away!!
