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".

Trust Me - Anita Holzberg

Trust me
   I have been there
       riding the waves
         searching for wild mushrooms
             in a sea of sorrow


Trust me
    I have done the wild dance
         stepped into the shadows
                disappeared myself to myself


Trust me
    I have learned that speaking less
        listening more
              is  the way to go


Trust me
    This weekend I waltzed with the flowers
         hugged my best friend
            rose to the occasion
                 like a swan
                          swimming 
                              in the pond
                         I fell in love with the moment.
                                    for my daughter and her beloved.

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
