So You Want To Be An Ally

Over the last 2 weeks, I have been fielding many white-guilt questions at work and having very interesting conversations and Zoom calls. Overall, they have been well received, but I am not sure if anything will happen once this is no longer a hot topic. I hope we keep up the momentum, but the media and Politicians and other power holders will try to silence us as quickly as possible. All of the companies realizing that #BlackLivesMatter will inevitably fade away as well. WE HAVE TO KEEP THE PRESSURE ON. So I made a list of talking points for the company that I work for, I hope they put it to use. I will begin sending this to anyone that reaches out to me to “talk” or “to see if I am ok”. While I appreciate the concern (if it’s genuine), I cannot continue being your only Black friend or the only Black person that you feel comfortable speaking to.

I saw this on Twitter recently, White privilege doesn't mean that your life hasn't been hard, it just means that the color of your skin isn't one of the things that makes it harder. I think this pretty much sums up what white people need to understand, what those people calling themselves our allies need to understand. Having Black pride & saying Black Lives Matter should not offend anyone. It does not mean that we are anti white people.

Black people are not a monolith. While we have all experienced racism in some form or another, we do not share the exact same experiences with it. To try and get an overall view of the different types of racism, you need to speak to many different Black people. Stop treating us as a collective, we are all individuals. Racism has permeated every single institution in this country. Education, Housing, Banking, Healthcare, Criminal Justice, Entertainment, etc. Racism is very much systemic, not always overt. There are also many different microaggressions that do not present as overt racism. Also, if we are going to have these discussions, please make sure that we feel safe, that we will be heard without reprimand or cynicism or disbelief. Our silence is the reason why this has gone on for so long. We want to be heard. We are no longer willing to stay invisible. Fear makes many of us stay silent, not willing to upset the status quo.

Revamp your hiring strategy/quota. People and organizations tend to conflate diversity and inclusivity. They are NOT the same. While there are many women, LGBTQIA members, Black and other People of Color, the Executives, Sales Management, and HR do not reflect this.

Conversations about race and other social justice issues are uncomfortable. Having these conversations without any Black and People of color present is pointless. Make sure you have Black people and other People of Color in any discussions you have regarding race relations and any other social justice issues. Empathy and sympathy is great, but it will not replace an actual experience.

Understand that the current state of the world has been a long time coming. George Floyd was the straw that broke the camel's back. The only difference is that everyone has a camera now and the police aren't doing themselves any favors by brutalizing everyone who is protesting police brutality.

Acknowledge your privilege. Acknowledge that the system is built to benefit you more than it does us and that it always has.

Saying "I'm not racist" isn't enough anymore. You have to be anti-racist. You have to stop the jokes, stereotypes, etc amongst your circle of friends and family members. This will be hard. But Black and Brown lives have to matter more than offending anyone that is unwilling to change.

Racism is not up to Black people and other People of Color to solve. This wasn't created or instituted by us and as we remain the "minority" in positions of power, we are unable to change it. We only have the ability to fight it, to rise up and demand change. To show that we will no longer take it. We will no longer be silent. We were all taught to be quiet and hold our feelings in to make sure that white people are comfortable. To make sure that we don’t appear threatening or angry. That is changing. Things will not go back to the way that they were.

El antes y después de las “boy bands” más populares de las últimas décadas

Compártelo en Facebook

Tuitéalo

Por primaveras hemos trillado la transformación de las “boy bands” (bandas de chicos) a través de las trivio de sus canciones, coreografías, videos musicales y vestimentas. Desde los primaveras 70, han aparecido un sinfín de grupos de muchachos, que van desde Jackson Five a New Kids On The Block y One Direction. ¿Cuánto han cambiado estos grupos? ¿Qué hacen en la hogaño? Estas son algunas de las grandes inquietudes de quienes añoran a esos “jovencitos” por los que rieron, lloraron, gritaron, bailaron y cantaron sin temor.

Genial.guru investigó sobre las “boy band” más importantes y elaboró una tira con su antes y después.

1. Jackson Five

Los Jackson 5, hoy conocidos como The Jacksons, es considerada como la primera costado de chicos de la historia y estuvo formada por cinco talentosos hermanos: Marlon, Jackie, Michael, Randy y Tito. Destacaron entonces por su música que mezclaba los géneros R&B, pop, funk y pop rock, y por las voces de dos de sus integrantes: Michael Jackson y Jermaine Jackson. Michael fue el más popular del familia y el que mejor carrera como solista tuvo, tras dejar a sus hermanos. Jackson 5 se disolvió formalmente en 1990 y retornó a los escenarios en 2008.

2. Menudo

Menudo fue uno de los grupos de varones más famosos e importantes de América Latina, así como la cuna de reconocidos artistas como Ricky Martin, Robi Draco Rosa y Johnny Lozada. Los primaveras 80 fue su época dorada y de ahí en delante la popularidad comenzó a descender. A mediados de los 90, los derechos de Menudo fueron vendidos y se derivó un nuevo familia llamado MDO. Finalmente, Menudo tuvo término en 2009 y sus exintegrantes comenzaron a realizar otros proyectos. Por ejemplo, de 1998 a 2015, Ray, René, Charlie, Johnny, Miguel y Ricky Meléndez formaron una agrupación convocatoria El Reencuentro. Ahora, en 2020, otros exmiembros de Menudo estarán participando en una expedición mundial denominada “Súbete a mi moto”. En todo el tiempo en que Menudo estuvo activo, vendió cerca de 20 millones de discos en todo el mundo.

3. New Kids on the Block (NKOTB)

Esta es otra de las bandas populares de los primaveras 90 y pionera en el crecimiento de las denominadas “boy band”. Desde su formación en 1984, nunca cambiaron alguno de sus integrantes y estuvieron activos hasta 1994, regresando en 2008 a la hogaño. New Kids on the Block hizo el camino para que aparecieran otros grupos como Take That, Backstreet Boys, Five o NSYNC. Desde que volvieron al ruedo, NKONTB ha aumentado las cifras en ventas de sus discos que ya supera los 175 millones de copias.

4. Take That

Los originarios de Inglaterra iniciaron su carrera en la término de los 90, hasta que uno de los miembros más famosos, Robbie Williams, abandonó el familia en 1995. En 2005, decidieron retornar, claro, sin Robbie. Sin requisa, él se sumaría en 2010, pero no de forma total, ya que quería continuar con su carrera como solista. Actualmente, el familia se mantiene como un trío con Gary Barlow, Mark Owen y Howard Donald, pues Jason Orange se fue en 2014. Vendieron cerca de 45 millones de discos en todo el mundo.

5. Backstreet Boys

La costado formada en 1993 logró la popularidad mundial en 1997 con su libro “Backstreet’s Back” y continuaron con el idilio hasta el 2000, año en que decidieron tomar un refrigerio por tres primaveras. Entre 2005 a 2009 lanzaron tres discos y en 2011, el familia se unió a New Kids on the Block para realizar una expedición mundial. Además, lanzaron juntos un disco llamado “NKOTBSB”. Se mantienen vigentes a la plazo y es considerado como uno de los grupos de chicos más influyente en la historia de la música. Hasta ahora, han vendido más de 130 millones de discos en el mundo.

6. NSYNC

Este familia de cinco chicos tuvo una gran popularidad desde finales de los 90 y principios del nuevo milenio. En 2002 anunciaron una pausa temporal, la que fue aprovechada por dos de sus miembros; Justin Timberlake y JC Chasez, quienes comenzaron a trabajar en sus proyectos como solistas. En 2007, otro de los integrantes del familia Lace Bass, confirmó la separación definitiva de NSYNC y dos primaveras más tarde, JC dijo para MTV que de ningún modo volverían a reunirse. Ahora en 2020, Backstreet Boys dejó abierta la posibilidad de realizar una gira mundial con ellos. En su período de actividad llegaron a vender 56 millones de copias de sus álbumes de estudio.

7. MDO

MDO es un familia que derivó de Menudo, luego que los derechos de la marca fueran vendidos a una productora panameña. Los integrantes de ese entonces Abel Talamántez, Pablo Portillo, Alexis Grullón, Anthony Galindo, Didier Hernández y Daniel René Weider, se hicieron con la éxito gracias a la canción “Me huele a soledad” y seguidamente con “Te quise olvidar”. Luego de difundir su primer libro en inglés, Caleb Avilés se fue del familia, obligando al resto a tomar una pausa. Uno de los integrantes más populares fue Abel Talamántez, quien luego de la ruptura, migró a la cumbia al participar con Kumbia Kings. En 2018, Alexis, Abel, Pablo y Didier decidieron unirse con el propósito de recuperar el tiempo perdido.

8. Five

La banda británica igualmente conocida como 5ive se formó en 1997 y alcanzó una gran popularidad en Europa y algunos países de América Latina. En 2001, se disolvieron como familia a pesar del tremendo éxito con el que contaban. Para 2006 se reunieron nuevamente, pero todo duró solo 7 meses. En 2012, lo intentaron por segunda vez, pero sin la presencia de Jason “J” Brown. De esa forma, Scott Robinson, Ritchie Neville, Richard ’Abs’ Breen y Sean Conlon iniciaban una nueva etapa de Five, solo hasta 2014 cuando Richard informó desde Twitter que dejaba el familia. Actualmente, Conlon, Neville y Robinson continúan con el esquema. Para cuando se separaron por primera vez, habían vendido cerca de 10 millones de copias en todo el mundo.

9. Westlife

Westlife es una banda de chicos originaria de Irlanda que partió a mediados de 1998. Su éxito mundial llegó tras el tirada de su libro homónimo “Westlife” y catapultaron su carrera al versionar la canción de Billy Joel “Uptown Girl”. En 2004, Brian McFadden, abandonó el familia, pero el resto de músicos siguió hasta 2011. Ya en 2018 se juntaron y lanzaron un nuevo disco que incluye una canción escrita por Ed Sheeran. A la plazo han vendido cerca de 40 millones de discos.

10. Boyzone

Este cuarteto irlandés que comenzó su carrera en 1993, fue uno de los más populares de Irlanda y Reino Unido y logró entregar cerca de 20 millones de discos. Además, fue considerada como la segunda mejor costado de chicos en Gran Bretaña, por detrás de Take That. Para 1999, se habían separado, lo que dio principio a la carrera como solista de uno de sus integrantes más populares, Ronan Keating. En 2007, Boyzone regresó con el fin de realizar una expedición, pero dos primaveras más tarde Stephen Gately, otro de los integrantes del familia, falleció por causas naturales en España, poco que impactó tremendamente en los integrantes. En 2018, como parte de su 25 aniversario, lanzaron un disco y realizaron una gira que culminó en 2019 con una separación definitiva.

11. 98 Degrees

A pesar de que no lograron alcanzar el éxito de otras “boy band”, 98 Degrees tuvo álgidos momentos que les llevó a entregar cerca de 10 millones de discos. El cuarteto conformado por Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre y Jeff Timmons tomó un refrigerio en 2003, tiempo que sirvió para la realización de proyectos personales. Sin duda, Nick Lachey fue uno de los miembros más famosos del cuarteto e incrementó su éxito con discos en solitario y al participar en el programa de telerrealidad de MTV Recién casados con su exesposa Jessica Simpson. El familia estuvo varios primaveras sin desempolvar los detalles sobre sus trabajos, lo que hizo pensar en una ruptura definitiva. Sin requisa, tras comenzar a apoyar actividad en varias redes sociales, confirmaron en 2012 su regreso, el que se ha mantenido hasta ahora.

12. Boyz II Men

Este distinguido familia de R&B y soul se fundó en 1988 con cuatro integrantes, los que alcanzarían el éxito musical durante la primera término de los primaveras 90. Boyz II Men es considerado como uno de los grupos más influyentes de todos los tiempos y a la plazo continúa actuando, pero como trío, pues en 2003 Michael McCary dejó el familia por padecer de escoliosis.

13. O-Town

O-Town es un grupo de chicos que se formó en el 2000 a través de un programa de telerrealidad de ABC (seguidamente de MTV) llamado Making the Band. Justo en esa época, la éxito de muchas bandas de hombres no era tan popular y por eso se disolvieron en 2003. En ese período, los integrantes del familia exploraron sus carreras como solistas, siendo Ashley Parker Angel al que mejor le fue. En 2011, comenzaron los rumores de un refriega, pero sin la presencia de Ashley. No fue hasta 2013 que regresaron a los escenarios y a la plazo O-Town se mantiene vivo con Erik-Michael Estrada, Trevor Penick, Jacob Underwood y Dan Miller.

14. One Direction

One Direction es una “boy band” formada en 2010 en Inglaterra, mediante el software The X Factor. Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan y Louis Tomlinson audicionaron de guisa particular en el show y fueron eliminados, pero recibieron la sugerencia de Nicole Scherzinger (jueza del software) para que se convirtieran en familia. De esa forma, participaron como One Direction en The X Factor, donde alcanzaron un tercer emplazamiento. Sin requisa, la suerte estaba de su flanco, pues se hicieron tremendamente populares y en 2011, gracias al apadrinamiento recibido por el productor musical Simon Cowell, firmaron un arreglo y lanzaron su primer disco, el que fue un éxito mundial. En 2015, Zayn Malik anunció su retiro y el familia continuó hasta la impresión de su botellín y extremo libro. A la plazo se mantiene inactivo y cada miembro trabaja en sus proyectos personales.

15. CNCO

CNCO es una “boy band” latina formada en 2015 a través de un software de televisión de Univisión llamado La Banda, que fue creado por Simón Cowell, quien buscaba nuevos talentos para convertirlos en fenómenos musicales. Tras varios desafíos internamente del show, Christopher Vélez, Richard Camacho, Zabdiel de Jesús, Joel Pimentel y Erick Colón se consagraron como los ganadores. CNCO consiguió un arreglo para registrar su primer disco bajo la producción de Wisin. Además, contaron con la representación de Ricky Martin. Se mantienen activos a la plazo y mantienen una gran popularidad.

DIVERSITY IN SEATTLE THEATRE, SEPT/OCT 2017

Here we go.

1. The Earth Shakes, HERON Ensemble, Samantha Cooper, dir. Linnea Ingalls. If I remember correctly, this play is loosely based on Antony and Cleopatra; it is diversely-cast, and as is characteristic of this ensemble - they inhabit that word to its fullest definition – the cast switches characters between scenes, like a relay race that crosses all boundaries of race and gender.

2. The Who and the What, ArtsWest, Ayad Akhtar, dir. Samip Raval. Race-specific. This play is about a Pakistani father and his American-born daughters. I don’t think the actors were necessarily Pakistani; I believe they did a lot of work with Pratidhwani - who co-produced - and with Pakistani consultants to achieve more of a cultural understanding of the characters beyond what is merely in the script.

3. The Odyssey, Seattle Rep, Todd Almond and Lear deBessonnet, dir. Marya Sea Kaminski. Diversely-cast, across race, across gender, across age, across ability, pulling a cast of a hundred (or so it felt) from all over Seattle, led by a handful of professional actors.

4. Why We Have A Body, Strawberry Theatre Workshop, Claire Chafee, dir. Rhonda Soikowski. White or white-presenting, as far as I can tell.

5. Dragon Lady, Intiman, Sara Porkalob, dir. Andrew Russell. Holy mother of god. I have seen this in one form or another at least five times. I could see it another five times. This is about identity, about family, about pride, about strength, about poverty, about pain, about the damage you can do in ways that cross generations, about how you don’t know you’re repeating past mistakes - your own and those of others - until you’ve made them, about how you don’t know what it will take to break a cycle until you’ve broken it.

6. Teh Internet is Serious Business, WET, Tim Price, dir. Wayne Rawley. As far as I can tell, both race-specific and non-race-specific, and casted accordingly.

7. Blues for Mister Charlie, The Williams Project, James Baldwin, dir. Ryan Guzzo Purcell. Race-specific, casted accordingly. Flawless. This is one of my favorite plays of all time. James Baldwin’s writing is diamond-sharp and so relevant it makes you feel like you are on fire. Loosely based on the murder of Emmett Till, it is dedicated to Medgar Evers, his widow and children, and “to the memory of the dead children of Birmingham.” It broke my heart every time Richard, the man whose murder at the beginning of the play sets everything in motion, calls his father Meridian “daddy.”

8. Life: An Adaptation an Adaptation, Filament Collab Lab, Nathan Brockett, dir. Nathan Brockett/choreo. Sophia Franzella. As far as I can tell, white or white-presenting.

9. Gemini Season (reading), NCTC Pipeline, Nelle Tankus, dir. Emily Harvey. This is a play about a trans woman and most likely should be and was casted accordingly.

10. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Book-It, Myra Platt/Malika Oyetimein/Maya Angelou, dir. Malika Oyetimein. Race-specific, casted accordingly. The white characters in this story – there are necessarily white characters in this story – are played by the black ensemble, who drew white gloves over their hands to signify their character’s whiteness. This sent a shiver up my spine.

11. King of the Yees, ACT, Lauren Yee, dir. Desdemona Chiang. Race-specific – that is, Asian – and casted accordingly. This is a Chinese-American story. Whether the actors are Chinese-American or not isn’t necessarily important to me. They were hilarious as fuck. I cried laughing. Ray Tagavilla is one of my favorite people on the planet.

12. Journey of the Saint (reading), eSe Teatro, Cesar de Maria, dir. Rose Cano, race-specific and casted accordingly.

13. Onerus, Café Nordo, Terry Podgorski, dir. Erin Brindley. Diversely-cast, as they usually do.

14. Julius Caesar, Seattle Shakes, William Shakespeare, dir. George Mount. Diversely-cast.

15. Burning Doors, OTB/Belarus Free Theatre with Marya Alyokhina, dir. Nicolai Khalezin/Natalia Kaliada. White, or white-presenting, that is, Russian.

16. Las Mariposas y Los Muertos, Forward Flux, Benjamin Benne, dir. Pilar O’Connell. Race-specific, casted accordingly.

17. No More Sad Things, Forward Flux, Hansol Jung, dir. Wesley Fruge. Diversely-cast.

18. Sycorax, 18th/Union, Y York, dir. Mark Lutwak. Race-specific solo work, casted accordingly. I could listen to Demene Hall forever. This is a play that is, on the surface, about Sycorax, the mother of Caliban, who is mentioned in The Tempest but does not appear. Actually this is about the pain of blackness, as a child, as a girl, as a woman, as a lover, as a mother. This is a play about innocence and love and betrayal.

19. Go Dog Go! SCT, Allison Gregory/Steven Dietz, dir. Allison Gregory/Steven Dietz. Diversely-cast. Well, I mean, they’re playing DOGS. By the way, this show is aimed at small children.

20. Pride and Prejudice, Seattle Rep, Kate Hamill, dir. Amanda Dehnert. Diversely-cast.

21. The World of Extreme Happiness, SPT, Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig, dir. Desdemona Chiang. Race-specific, that is, Asian, casted accordingly. Again, don’t ask me about whether the actors are Chinese or not, or half-white or not. That’s not something I care about at all. This one hurts my heart, for reasons I have discussed elsewhere, and I love it.

22. Beware the Terror of Gaylord Manor, ACT, BenDeLaCreme. Diversely-cast. I mean, it’s a drag burlesque cabaret, basically.

23. Ragtime, 5th Ave, Terrence McNally/Stephen Flaherty/Lynn Ahrens, dir. Peter Rothstein. Race-specific, casted accordingly. I might have side-eyed the Wealthy White Savior Lady plot line a tiny bit.

24. Coriolanus: Fight Like a Bitch, Rebel Kat, William Shakespeare/Katherine Jett, dir. Emily Penick. All-female Shakespeare, pronouns changed, diversely-cast. Holy crap, this was stunning.

25. Happy, Happy, Happy, Macha, Jenn Ruzumna/Lisa Every, dir. Amy Poisson. White or white-presenting.

26. The Crucible, ACT, Arthur Miller, dir. John Langs. Diversely-cast. The only race-specific bit was the casting of Tituba, who appears in the beginning and then disappears. I read today that Langs had originally cast Shermona Mitchell as both Tituba and Judge Hathorne, but could not overcome the restrictions of the Miller estate. At the last minute, Reginald André Jackson was added to the cast as Hathorne. This had to be devastating. Also devastating was watching the scene where Mary Warren confronts Abigail Williams in court. To watch a room of people believe a lying white girl (Abigail) over a trying-to-do-the-right-thing black girl (Mary) reminded me of a line from James Baldwin’s Blues for Mister Charlie: “You can’t call a white woman a liar, even if you’re a white man.”

27. Last Stop on Lilac Street, Annex, Kelleen Conway Blanchard, dir. Keira McDonald. Mostly white or white-presenting, except for Alaji. Maybe I should stop calling plays “diversely-cast” if they have only one actor of color. Argh, do I need to scroll back through the last 10 months and re-edit everything?

28. Burn This, Theatre22, Lanford Wilson, dir. Corey McDaniel. Diversely-cast. Well, I mean, again that thing where you have one actor of color and everyone else white or white-presenting. What should my cutoff be? 25%? 40%? 10%?

29. Mirror-Mirror (reading), Pork-Filled Productions, Lamar Legend, dir. Aaron Jin. Diversely-cast.

Hallmark Actor Spotlight - Jill Wagner (Part 2)

A Harvest Love (2017)

Directed by Steven R. Monroe

Written by William Penick

Starring Jill Wagner, Victor Webster, Merren McMahon, Andrea Brooks, Catherine Barroll, and Jeremy Guilbaut

Originally premiered October 21, 2017 on the Hallmark Channel, part of Fall Harvest

Synopsis:

High school sweethearts in Williamstown, MA, Sarah Bloom (Jill Wagner) and David Nichols (Victor Webster) lost touch when she went to college in New York and he stayed home to run the family farm. Now Sarah has a thriving wedding planning business in Manhattan, and David is the founder of one of the state’s most successful Farmer’s Markets. They both seem to have found their true calling, and each is so married to work there’s no time to devote to love.

But life is full of surprises, and Sarah is caught off guard when her next bride-to-be, Abby King (Andrea Brooks), is set to marry Tom Nichols (Marcus Rosner), David’s younger brother. Not only that, but the wedding has to be planned in just two weeks because Tom is being deployed into the army reserves. Sarah’s up for the challenge and can even handle Abby’s demanding mother Barbara (Catherine Barroll) with a list of things she wants for the wedding, but Sarah is truly taken aback by the location the couple has chosen for their special day – David’s farm!

As it turns out, Sarah hasn’t been to her hometown or seen David for years, and even her assistant Emma (Merren McMahon) senses her discomfort. But Sarah brushes off the whole “David thing.” After all, Abby and her mother come from a real estate empire and planning a high-profile wedding like this could get the attention of wedding writer Payton Ellis (Jeremy Guilbaut). An article in his prominent Wedding Magazine could make Sarah’s business take off.

Still, although totally focused on her work, Sarah does show signs of having feelings for David when she looks through a shoebox of mementos she’s kept of their romance. The next day though, when she and Emma arrive at the Nichols’ farm to begin the wedding preparations, Sarah’s all business once again. And it seems David is too. She finds him hard at work in the fields and although his eyes light up when he sees her, he hardly lets her know it, claiming he’s too busy to help her with the wedding because he’s right in the thick of fall harvest.

But when handsome Payton shows up on the farm to write a cover article about the King- Nichols wedding, David is jealous and suddenly is very helpful in finding the perfect spot for the ceremony – under a walnut tree where he and Sarah first kissed. The gorgeous setting stirs feelings neither Sarah nor David can deny, even if they’re both still married to their professions.

As the days to the wedding tick down, the fancy affair Barbara envisioned finally changes to the simple one Abby and Tom wanted all along. And although a kitchen fire instantly alters the plans Barbara’s celebrity chef had for the reception, David’s Farmer’s Market crew saves the day with an amazing feast. Life certainly did throw lots of surprises at this harvest wedding, and Sarah and David could be in store for some surprises of their own. David has developed a unique soil that can grow things almost anywhere, maybe even on a rooftop in New York!

Karen Kingsbury’s Maggie’s Christmas Miracle (2017)

Directed by Mike Robison

Written by Karen Kingsbury, Tyler Russell, and Maria Nation. Based on the novel by Karen Kingsbury.

Starring Jill Wagner, Luke Macfarlane, Lauren Guci, Laura Soltis, Lane Edwards, and Francoise Yip

Originally premiered December 10, 2017 on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, part of the Most Wonderful Movies of Christmas

Synopsis:

At Christmastime, a young Maggie has her first blush of love with a boy named Kade (Marcus Zane Carvalho) while vacationing with her family in Lake Tahoe. The excitement from her first kiss with Kade, though, is short-lived, as shortly after she learns that her father has left their family. Twenty years later, Maggie (Jill Wagner) is a divorce attorney and overprotective mom to her son Jordan. Just like her father, Maggie’s husband left her at Christmas. Maggie puts on a brave face but Jordan sees how unhappy she is and writes letters to God praying for a Christmas miracle for his mom.

Maggie hires Casey (Luke Macfarlane) to tutor Jordan over the holiday break. When Maggie’s mother, Terri (Laura Soltis), takes Jordan to meet the carefree diner owner, the two get along swimmingly. This immediate rapport is in stark contrast to the lack of connection when Jordan first meets Tanner (Lane Edwards), the fellow divorce lawyer that Maggie is dating. Casey has Maggie over for a home cooked dinner and shares that his wife passed away in recent years – he keeps mementos of their relationship and hasn’t been ready to move on. Though Maggie is wary of love, she begins to feel a spark.

Maggie’s friend Lauren (Francoise Yip) hires Maggie to represent her when her husband unexpectedly files for divorce. Maggie is shocked and disappointed when Tanner later decides to represent Lauren’s husband. He claims it’s business but to Maggie, it’s personal.

Maggie and Casey grow closer – with Casey infusing her life with the Christmas spirit – and Jordan starts to see Casey as a father figure. When Casey asks Maggie out on a date, she accepts. Casey donates his wife’s Christmas items, ready to move on and open himself up to new love.

To show Maggie his commitment, Tanner drops Lauren’s husband as a client and buys the two of them tickets to Italy for the holiday. Maggie realizes the they aren’t meant to be together, and gives them back – instead choosing to see Casey. After Casey kisses Maggie and tells her he is falling in love with her, though, Maggie gets scared of heartbreak – both her own and Jordan’s. Jordan is crushed and writes another letter to God praying for Maggie to see that Casey makes her happy, giving it to Casey to help deliver.

Casey discovers a snow globe from Lake Tahoe, and is struck with the memory of meeting Maggie when they were children. He drops this snow globe and Jordan’s letters off to Maggie as a Christmas gift. After reading Jordan’s letters to God and discovering her coincidental childhood tie to Casey, Maggie begins to wonder if her Christmas miracle has been in front of her eyes all along, and if Christmas is the time to open her heart to love.
