Two woman, Anita Holzberg and Ann Wainwright met over the internet with Bill Costley,
their common friend, whose wife Carolin had been Ann's good friend. Starting in
June '09, Anita sent a Cupcake poem to Ann's website cakecakecake, after seeing
the photo of cupcakes. The poem was about her grandson's first birthday party. Ann
liked that and it was the start of a wonderful exchange of poems from Anita to Ann and
Ann with color, photos, and lay-out savvy, presented them to the blog. Now, in 2010,
the two women so alike in spirit and interests, have started BetweenFriends, a new blog
site where they can combine ideas about their worlds. Ann lives in Northern UK
(Teesside). Anita lives in Northern California, Sunnyvale, (Silicon Valley where all the
computers are.) We share our lives on this blog and hope you will comment and share
yours too, dear readers and enjoy the "ride".

Belief - Anita Holzberg


I have had to believe it all
the talent the diligence the dedication
the going forth in pain

I have had to buy into it
the writer's life, the writer's dream, the day without
walls

I have earned all this
down those mean streets
pancakes at Denny's 4 AM, in a strange city
family that held a deaf ear,
slip sliding from job to job
believing the wrong people
Kinkos, my publisher, at dawn.
