Jumped Onto A Roller Coaster!

It really has been awhile but you know the story "and miles to go before I sleep".
This is how it has been for a few weeks. Children sick, husband following their lead and emails to get out to SoulfulEncounters.com's special members. Also on the agenda is making personal calls to them and personalized help if they have difficulty. People ask me why I created Soulful Encounters for the medically disabled and differently abled. The real reason is that I feel totally comfortable in their presence. They are truly giving, thoughtful and loving. There is always someone who wants to help www.soulfulencounters.com in some way.
The message boards are up so we can go in and be a real family...disabled helping the disabled. This should get interesting over the course of months. The chat is up but my programmer who is co-operative and wanting this feature to work at it's best is working on getting us one that will run smoother. He wants us all to be able to make use of these features and to enjoy ourselves while we are logged onto Soulful Encounters. He got us to try a few and I invited some disabled members to log on and to give my feedback. Just stepping back and seeing how well and how quickly they connect to each other warms my heart. They talk about all issues just like abled bodied persons. And, yes, they talk about their disabilies as well....Politics and the weather as well...yachity yach...don't turn back now Louise.
Tune in and see what happens next....February should be a good month. After all it is for lovers!!!!

Boy Meets Girl

Boy meets girl, boy likes girl,
Relationship sparks.
He takes her to the mall,
Sea shore and the park.
They walk under the stars,
Talking, holding hands.
They talk Venus and Mars,
Being lifetime friends.
They see their whole lives
Planned out ahead,
Plan to stay side by side,
Till there time’s end.
And today, there is
Writing on the wall.
“We remember the day,
When a boy met a girl.”

Music To My Ears

When one hears music amidst a bit of chaos...you are surely blessed!! The music man came playing and his music resounded from my ears right to the centre of my heart...
The Music Man was Soulful Encounters first disabled member, and; already because of this, he was very special to me. Shortly after he joined,I received a kind email from him saying that he was willing to hand out flyers for Soulful Encounters. His emails were articulate showing me that he is quick and very intelligent....friendly and kind. Speaking with him indicates to me that he is a very normal young man with hopes and desires and dreams. Sure he has a disability but sometimes the disability lies more with how abled bodied persons perceive us. They become more disabled than us!! This sweet young man offered me some of his savings to help with new features for Soulful Encounters. I was so shaken by his email that tears came to my eyes. He really cares about my site for the medically disabled and differently abled! Of course, I would not take advantage of his generosity but one cannot deny that I am blessed. I have been hearing music ever since!!

Around the World In 60 Days!!!

Here we are well into 2007! What kind of mixture will this year bring? Already, I feel both blessed and frustrated. Soulful Encounters is in slow motion and taking a slow boat around the world is much faster than finishing up a disabled dating website. The message boards are almost done and I have heard that phrase far too many times and so have Soulful Encounters members. And, of course week after week goes by and we are still no competition for a slow boat ride. We have gone around China several times now. If it is not up soon I will call it a day and start afresh!!! The slow boat around the world is far faster than getting these boards up. It is more than 5 months and you heard about the phrase ,"around the world in 60 days". And, what happened to my chat room. I am patient to a point and even cool, calm and collective. Louise will say, "I have had enough". The members of Soulful Encounters deserve better. If anyone out there has any ideas for me---I am ready to listen....
Thank goodness I have my friends at Soulful Encounters to uplift me.

PEACE, LOVE, JOY, HEALTH & LAUGHTER 2007

Television And SoulfulEncounters!

Wow wee! Tune in, turn up the volume! SoulfulEncounters.com goes on television! For someone who does not like front line attention.....what could I say. I am doing it all for you members..I love you all!
I thought this would be too hard to bare. But, when I started to speak about my SoulfulEncounters disability site and my medically disabled and differently abled members all my words came from my heart and soul. The viewing was shown 6 times that weekend. It aired on my hometown's local station but heh---you know that everyone is welcome to join! If you have not seen me that is okay...If you wish to correspond with me... I am open to that.
I had several other interviews as well for a national Canadian disability magazine. Soulful Encounters is getting coverage. I was also interviewed for a disability magazine in the United States and I start off the New Year with yet another interview from a free lance writer with our local newspaper. This is all good news for the disabled singles. We are getting new members every day. Your soulmate awaits you! If you are single and handicapped or medically disabled....come join us! If you are a member please feel free to give us ideas as we value your input. We would like you to feel part of it.
So, what is next now that all this excitement is behind us!! You will have to tune in.....why not...
