Life Graduate Excerpt From Beyond The Blue Line Barrier I Watched Them Squiggle and Squirm Crawl Then Walk Coo Then Talk Run and fall Learn, Win And Lose…

I Felt My Time with Them Would Go On Forever Then In A Flash!

They Grew Up To Be a Woman and a Man As Grown As Me… And Again, Today Has Come a Third Time Just As Unreal As the First I Watched With Pride And Then with Sadness As I Realized That Our Yesterdays Will Be Forever Gone…

Now; I See Their Smiles And Observe Their Struggles But Am Not Allowed To Touch Their Pain For They Have Begun a Journey That I Have Already Completed…

Where They Must Grow And Reach And Plan And Achieve, That Which Is Set Only Before Them…

A Path That I Can Only Guide With My Words But Not Allowed To Block Or Stop Or Even Save…

For, I Can Never Walk Their Future For Them Again…

This Is Their Journey Their Life And Their Footprints Can Only Contain Their Shoes...

After All …

(To be continued) Excerpt from After All After all that we have been through We continue still to shine Like a polished piece of silver Next to an unearthed dime After all that we have been through We still stand strong and grand And the world still pumps our blood Like the drums beating within a band After all that we have been through Who knew we’d come out right Who knew our lives would prosper And our songs that filled the night… Would sing on for generations ...

How To Make Your Ow Clip on extensions are great for all types of hair, relaxed or natural, and is a great way to quickly change up your hair style.

Follow the directions below, and you within no time, you will have your own custom made clip on extensions!

You will need: •1-2 packs of your preference of hair that already has a weft. I would recommend human hair because you can curl and dye it, but synthetic hair will work fine as well.

•15-25 Snap Clips (You can get 6 or 9 prongs). This will vary depending on how many hair pieces you use.

Make sure that you put enough on each track so that it does not come loose while wearing them.

Advantages of making your own extensions: Custom fit to the size of your head Can choose the exact color that matches your color from your local retailer You also have the flexibility to choose the type and brand of clips that you like the best. Some people prefer certain brands over another and by making them yourself, you can use the clips that you like the best.

Tips •Needle and strong hair thread- Also, make sure the needle is the correct size to fit through the holes on your clips.

12

Make sure the texture and color of the hair for the extensions matches your natural hair.

If you are using wavy hair, try sectioning off your hair and braiding it the night before you are going to wear the extensions.

This will make your hair wavy in the morning and will mix a lot better with your wavy extensions.

wn Clip On Extensions Instructions 1. Start by getting your needle and thread ready. Thread the needle with your thread, and then make a knot at the end of the two pieces of string.

2. Cut the track the length that you want it. Most of the time the tracks are thinner than what is needed, so we are going to cut two of the same length so we can sew them together.

3. Line the two tracks up together 4. Place the first clip on the weft(?) of the tracks at the beginning . Make sure the part of the clip that snaps out is facing out.

5. Insert your needle through the back of the hair and through the first hole of the clip on the other side. Repeat this step through the same whole, and then make a knot to hold the clip securely on.

6. Continue looping the string through the back of the hair, into each of the holes along the top of the clip.

7. Once you get to the last hole on the clip, loop it around twice, and then make a knot like you did in step 5.

8. Next, cut the string. Make sure your cut is close to the knot that you have just created.

9. Continue to add the rest of the clips onto the track following the steps above. A good
