PEACE ON EARTH Christmas is coming soon! Shopping, wrapping, baking, visiting, decorating; the list goes on. I would like to add a few more "action items" to that list: |
|
|
How about some enjoyment, relaxation, love, generosity, kindness and wonder. I plan on making those a priority, too! So this month, I wish you a peaceful holiday season filled with warm new memories created with your loved ones! |

READING NESTS MAKE A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE - ORDER EARLY! |
|
|
Orders are coming in! Reading Nests are here - a new way to support The Good Eggs Foundation! A Reading Nest consists of a bean bag chair, a set of The Good Eggs books, six puzzle sheets, and a stress-release squishy. Reading Nests can be purchased for your own children/grandchildren/nieces/ nephews, etc. OR donated to a child in need (which we will do for you). |

Reading Nests provide children with an opportunity to read in a quiet place to call their own. This, in turn, helps kids develop positive relationships with others, build character, and raise self-esteem. As a teacher, I have witnessed first-hand the positive impact reading has on children of all ages. In our often chaotic world, the Reading Nest provides kids with a place of respite and an opportunity to cultivate their imaginations, learn about new worlds, make new discoveries, and think for themselves. We hope you will consider purchasing/donating a Reading Nest! More info here! |

In November, we egged our friends at Humble Design with 5 Reading Nests! These nests will provide a quiet place in a child's room so they can develop their imagination and love of reading, and a needed sense of security as they transition into a new home. Reading Nests consist of a bean bag chair and a set of Good Eggs Books. See more on Reading Nests above! |

WHERE ARE THE EGGS THIS MONTH? (Book 2, Chapter 4) December - Australia After almost a half day of travel, the Eggs arrived at their third destination, Australia. Their amazing adventures began with snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. Later, at the zoo, they learned about marsupials. The Eggs wrapped up their time in Australia with a special visit to Uluru, a most sacred place. At the end, an Aussie Christmas celebration was enjoyed by all! |

NOW LET'S HEAR ABOUT ANOTHER DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION EXPERIENCE FROM OUR DECEMBER GOOD EGG! |
|
|
I think the most important factor is including and listening to the voices of whomever wishes to participate from the company. Having varied backgrounds is key. |
|
|
Their experiences help generate more ideas and content, which I think is also an important factor. Finally, I’d say taking those ideas and content and using them to shape and formulate the ultimate goal and purpose of the group and what the group hopes to accomplish. |
|
|
I think a workplace benefits internally and externally. Internally, it can provide employees a sense of belonging and purpose. Externally, it can help to attract and retain diverse talent, which is beneficial in building a successful company. |
|
|
Start with a broader goal or focus and hone in from there. It can seem like a large undertaking but it is rewarding and important! |
|
|
My advice would be to explore the country to its fullest! Start by talking to and getting to know the local people. They will have the best recommendations for food to try and places to visit and will jump start an immersion into the local culture. Be a traveler not a tourist! |
|
|
WOW! Thank you, Stephanie, for taking initiative in the area of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. You have made an incredible impact in your workplace! |

Merry Christmas! See you in 2024! AND - thanks for being a Good Egg! Kindly, Sandy Sandy (Ciaramitaro) Mals Author, Founder and President The Good Eggs Foundation The Good Eggs Media |
