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!
