Cheryl Lewis Beverly

Cheryl Lewis Beverly, Second Wind Creations author and self-publisher, is a mother and a grandmother. She worked for over thirty years with children as a counselor, psychologist, parent and optimistically interested observer. Living in Chicago, IL, Lansing, MI, New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA, before retiring to the desert in Palm Springs, CA, gave Cheryl the opportunity to observe and participate in many, varied social and educational settings observing and working with both parents and their remarkable children.

Cheryl has professional degrees in History, Guidance and Counseling, Educational Psychology and African and African American Studies. In retirement, Cheryl’s passion is in portraying the children and families she has known through the touching and amusing stories of Miss Nana Wyshall B. Wright written for the delight of children and adults. Her stories offer a unique and often humorous insight into the struggles, joys, failures and successes of our human experience.

Second Wind Creations was conceived by two friends that were cheerleaders together in high school (Cheryl Lewis Beverly and Barbara Elizabeth Rudd). It is their “second wind” ... a culmination of lifetime experiences, talents and passions rolled up into life lesson, stories for every generation.

When the two friends created Second Wind Creations, they formed a business partnership to share their creative vision with others. Second Wind Creations takes enormous pride in quality and integrity. The intention is to portray life’s lessons with whimsy, humor and vibrant, colorful illustrations.
