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".

If not for Loving - Anita Holzberg

If not for loving
 I would not walk these steps
   
If not for loving
   I would not have belief in myself


     If not for loving
   I would not have stayed on the path
        towards your recovery
           sidestepping shadows
               I rest in the knowledge
                  that loving
                        binds
                          after that fact
                             loving
                                       is a force beyond words.
 
Anita Schiffman Holzberg

Probably the most prolific writing time in my life.
The wedding spurred the writing and the recovery
of my beloved Jim.  I will continue to write my
thoughts because they show me who I am.
