My incredibly talented friend Cheryl wrote and performed this very special piece.
When I first listened to “Roar” it immediately drew me in and grabbed at my gut. This doesn’t happen to me very often but every once in a while, in the face of authenticity, I practically melt into the experience. Cheryl’s words reach the many sides of me – the child, the woman, the wife, the mother…
This performance is merely 5 minutes (long enough to enjoy a cup of coffee) yet it has the power to linger in one’s mind for hours/days – definitely memorable. I hope you’ll savor it as much as I did. (Click the arrow to play – or click the blue word “Roar” to download the MP3 file.)
RoarCheryl and I are currently working on a collaborative project (a first for me). I’ll be doing the hands-on part while Cheryl provides the poetry. This project should be wrapped up by the end of today, leaving me with a sense of connection…a joining of the minds. How wonderful it is to have friends who see things as we do!

I am both humbled and honored for this posting Becky!
I loved working with you on our recent project and I highly recommend the practice of celebrating art with a friend !.
And speaking of collaboration… I should add that the beautiful guitar music on “Roar” was performed by my friend Steve Rapson.
Thank you. Cheryl

Hi Becky! I just happened to have a cup of coffee at hand and did what you suggested. Cheryl is a wonderful artist and poet. I so enjoyed her “Roar”. Thanks so much for sharing her world with us!
I also wanted to give you a BIG Thanks as well for the beautiful swap that came in the mail today! I absolutely love it! It’s so adorable and definitely a “treat”! I’m so happy to have been asked to swap with such a creative talent like yourself. Can’t wait to add this to my Halloween decor. I’ll be shipping out your treat soon. Thanks again!
