Our message is simple: Dream Big, We'll Show You How.

It’s the first time that Jackson meets his father’s youngest brother, Anthony. His father tells them that his uncle has to stay with them for sometime, because he has important things to do in their town. 
He doesn’t see anything wrong with the idea, until he finds out that it is so hard to connect with his own uncle. He seldom talks and is seemingly detached, and it brings Jackson a kind of discomfort. One day, when he has to go inside the guest room where his uncle stays, an extraordinary-looking bag catches his attention, and for a curious child like him, he believes that there is something inside his uncle’s bag that will help him determine why he is such a person who almost doesn’t talk.
Will Jackson discover something interesting inside his uncle’s bag?

All the Christmas Vibes

Melissa Baldwin

Sophie: It's Christmas, and I can't help but believe that magic happens around this time of year—or at least, I hope it does. I've always been obsessed with the holidays, and the best part? I can watch all the Hallmark movies I want. Secretly, I might be hoping for my own love story to play out just like in the movies. It's possible, right? I mean, it happened for my friend. A girls' trip to Tennessee seems like the perfect way to unwind. Then, I meet Jake—the coach of the Tennessee Wolves. Our connection is instant, and I find myself wanting to get to know him better. But there's one small issue . . . I don’t know if he's available. That's when I get my reality check—life isn't a Hallmark movie, and love? It's complicated. 
 
 
 
Jake: This Christmas feels different, like everything is a bit out of place. I guess that's what an unexpected breakup will do to you. At least I have my career to keep me focused—coaching a professional hockey team is no walk in the park, but it definitely keeps my mind occupied. The last thing I need is to get involved with someone. Then Sophie walks into my life. They say opposites attract, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that. To complicate things even more, my ex has started coming around again. I don't know if it's easier to stay with what's familiar or take a chance on something new.
