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 have taken my steps unto a new life
If not for loving
  I would not have opened my heart and home to friends and family
If not for loving
  I would not go the distance in mind and spirit
For loving, lights the way
A smallest child feels it
A leaf experiences the fresh rain
A river is replenished by it


If not for loving
  the greatest star would not shine
but
for loving
   life returns
         enriched and as beautiful
              as a fuchsia orchid
If not for loving.
