When Janice Ballenger joined a volunteer rescue company, she began keeping a journal, and clipping news articles about the calls she responded to. Now, as an EMT and deputy coroner, she has seen, smelled and touched things most people have difficulty just hearing about. With the thought of "There's nothing worse that I can see," she continued her job. The Nickel Mines Amish School shootings in October 2006, changed that, when a milk truck driver shot ten Amish girls, and killed himself.

The universe is one enchanting place! What makes it so beautiful is love; what makes it magical is love. This year, Valentine’s Day will not be the same for Hreeta, Teesha, Shyra, Kiara, and Akshara. They fell in love, and lost in love. But they had the courage to fight back and to take the reins of life in their own hands. Refusing to stay as mere ideas of strong women, they chose to be living, breathing humans who stood up, flexed their muscles, and projected their voice. A single ‘right’ swipe creates the butterfly effect, fixing incorrect pieces of the puzzle of multiple lives, with a little help from the universe working in its mysterious ways. That Valentine's Day is a roller coaster ride that has laughter and lamentation, rainbow and rain, sunshine and storm…a lot like the journey all of us are on.
