Happy Monday! It’s the start of a new week and I couldn’t be happier! Today, I’d like to talk about the start of this Newsletter, The Good Egg.

A few weeks ago, Massachusetts schools closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. As a Reading Specialist for 3rd-5th grade students, I was speaking with teachers, students, and families, and could feel their stress, anxiety, and fear of this unknown time.

I wanted to make a difference, not just for my students, but for people around the world dealing with stress and anxiety. So, how do I share happy thoughts and make people smile everyday…a daily newsletter!

Through The Good Egg, I have been able to share my personal experiences and strategies I’ve used to make my life better. Through research, I acquired new strategies, techniques, and learned new information and the science that leads to happier lives. This newsletter is meant to spread health and wellness tips with inspirational thoughts and humor to entertain readers and enhance their lives.

From day one, the goal has been to spread happiness to 100 people by the 100th newsletter. So far, The Good Egg has 58 readers with 96% engagement…which is pretty sweet! More than halfway to the goal with only 16 newsletters! And I have all of YOU to thank. Without you, The Good Egg would not exist.

Let’s spread the smiles to all of our loved ones and see if we can make it to the 100th person!
