Remember, Wilbur the Pig? The runt of the litter? Fern’s dad, Mr. Arable, wanted to “do away with him.” Still, through divine intervention, Wilbur was sold off to Mr. Zuckerman, Ferns’ uncle, who also had a plan:
Buy Fern’s sweet little pig.
Feed him lots of good food.
Eventually, turn him into bacon.
But Wilbur instantly meets a barn Spider by the name of Charlotte, Charlotte A. Cavatica, who devised a plan to save Wilbur’s life by spinning words in her web over the barn door opening where Wilbur stood each morning. Comments instantly made Mr. Zuckerman take notice that Wilbur’s life was recognizable value. He was Some Pig! Terrific! Radiant! Humble!

Meet Mrs. Cavatica!

Charlotte A. Cavatica, to be exact! My New 2020 Can-Am Spyder F3T
Remember Charlotte? The friendly, clever spider of Charlotte’s Web? Charlotte was a spider’s spider, a memorable character who taught us something very profound about brotherly love, genuine commitment, sincere friendship, and speaking prophetically over someone’s life.

“After all, what’s a life, anyway? We’re born, we live a little while, we die.”

― E.B. White Charlotte’s Web

Reflecting on my life while under stay-at-home orders due to COVID-19 back in May of 2020. Being an empty nester, married for over three decades, I too wanted a friend like Charlotte, and I wanted to live. After all, there is nothing like a national pandemic, murder hornets, and civil unrest to challenge one to put his or her own life into an even clearer perspective. So I knew I had to name my Spyder after this beloved character from E. B. White’s book Charlotte’s Web. I intentionally wanted to put some respect on her official name, so I deliberately chose Mrs. Cavatica.

I carefully selected the color pearl white because white is inherently a positive color associated with purity, light, goodness, heaven, safety, brilliance, illumination, understanding, faith, possibility, humility, sincerity, protection, and perfection. White would also be the perfect canvas for an actual graphic design I had in mind. Brought to life by Chris Fulton, local owner of Creative Wraps & Graphics, located here in Houston, Texas. Depicting Mrs. Cavatica riding along with me in all her splendor.

In carefully keeping with the theme of Charlotte’s Web, I wanted to make Mrs. Cavatiac extra special, so I asked my husband, “If Charlotte asked you to give her three words to describe me, what words would you give her?”. He tilted his head to the side, contemplating my question for a minute, looked at me, said Beautiful, Grounded, and Inspirational. Yeah! Beautiful, Grounded, and Inspirational.

“BEAUTIFUL”
Proverbs 31:25-26
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

“GROUNDED”
Ephesian 3:16-19
that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have the strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

“INSPIRATIONAL”
Isaiah 40:28-31
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.

These are specific words of Hope and Encouragement Mrs. Cavatica and I will take out into the world when we ride. I sincerely hope that other women will be naturally encouraged and divinely inspired by seeing these words and take time out to look up the sacred scriptures that correspond with them.

Mrs. Cavatica and I sincerely hope that these words and scriptures will encourage women of all ages, races, and social backgrounds to trade fears for unshakable Faith and unapologetically get busy living! I fervently believe that God desires that our Hearts be light, our Souls be free, as we Ride the Good Ride of Faith.

Special Thanks,

To my husband Desmond, for always encouraging me to be the girl in my dreams.

Cindy Oaks Porter, from White Hall, Maryland. She messaged me when I first joined the Can-Am Women of On-Road Facebook Group, back in May of 2020 and shared encouragement and her beautiful story of how she found her 2014 Spyder RT, lovely and affectionately named Angel.

Lastly, all the ladies in the Women On-Road Facebook Group, thank you for daring to be brave and throwing caution to the wind. By doing so, you permitted me to do the same.

Be strong and of good courage as you Ride the Good Ride of Faith,
LaShaun and Mrs. Cavatica
