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".

In Counsel - Anita Holzberg

I talked to a 16 year old
  as if he was my son or grandson
Ask him about his goals
Counseled him about his life
Tell him never give up on your dreams


          It was a brief 5 min. or less 
                 conversation
Who knows if it was effectual
I did believe in those words and live
                 my life with that ethic


                Ending 2011 with so much
     counsel
                Counseling my caregivers
                       I guess I have lived a lot
                          lost a lot
                            gained a lot in the process
              In a few words
                              I know nothing about nothing
                                          I know that you
                                  create a life
                                              and hope for the 
                                     best
                                              life is about learning
                                        every step of the way.
