Beacon of Hope

Cindy is a ray of sunshine who offers bits of wisdom of for hope those of us who are in the trenches. The podcasts are short and to the point but offer real life suggestions from a veteran teacher who spent 20 plus years teaching on Long Island. I really enjoy listening on my way to work and feel inspired to try Cindy’s suggestions.
