 Get started with these 3 easy steps! 1) First, check with your local authorities and HOA (if applicable) for rules and restrictions in your area. For safety, you will want to have it a certain distance from any wooden structures yet within reach of a water hose. No mortar involved, so this fire pit can be moved, if needed. 2) Once you have the okay, find a level and safe spot for your outdoor fire pit. The outer circumference of this fire pit is 65 inches, so take a pencil, string and screwdriver to help set up a circle guide for your pavers. Place pencil securely in ground where you want the center to be and tie a long string around it (string length should be 32.5 inches long between knots around pencil and screwdriver). Tie the end of string to screwdriver and create a circle in the dirt. This line is where the wider side of the paver sits up against. May need a tiller or square edged shovel to create a completely level surface.  3) You will need a total of 36 Flagstone retaining wall blocks. For safety reasons, use Flagstone because it is nonporous, durable and can handle the high heat. Non flagstone pavers can explode when exposed to flames, so again, use flagstone. Lowe's sells flagstone pavers for $2.58 a block. That brings your total to $98.45 (92.88 plus 5.57 with our 6% sales tax) which is just under $100.00. Place your first 18 pavers just inside your circle with wide side up against line. For less smoke, leave cracks between pavers to help with air flow. Take your next group of 18 pavers and place staggered on top of first set.  Now for the fire! Collect firewood and place in a vertical slant (as seen in top pic) for airflow. Visit 17 Fire Pit Safety Tips You Should Know - Fireplace Fact for safety instructions and How To Start A Fire In A Fire Pit - Red Lasso. Below, you can see what it looks like the next day if it burns out without raking the coals. Usually, we take a metal rake and spread the coals out evenly till it burns down to fine ash. After several days, you can use ashes to fertilize your lawn and plants.  Time to enjoy! Above pic shows six chairs with six large tree logs that we have used for tables or extra seating. Two seats can easily fit between each log, which allows up to eighteen guests, if needed. Since we have a large backyard, we're glad we opted to have a wide firepit.  We've enjoyed so many wonderful evenings around this type of fire pit and hope you do too! Thanks for stopping by and let us know if you have any questions or comments.  With love,

Did something today that reminded me that I am still learning, as I posted the images and words below accidentally twice on my Facebook page, because I apparently didn't think the first time went through and didn't wait it out to see. If I had just been patient and resumed my morning time with the Lord, it all would have worked out better, but just another reminder I need to wait on the Lord. Originally, I finished the manuscript for The Little Boy Who Wouldn't Eat Cheesecake back in 2008 and was in a holding pattern for twelve years before the book was published and released during a global pandemic. Despite how it looked from my viewpoint before, now that I have time to reflect, I see God's timing, as always, is perfect. Which comforts me moving forward with a screenplay titled Eyes of Nuremberg, which is also set around the time of WWII. I felt called to write it with such urgency in 2016, and finally finished it in January of 2019. All that urgency and then . . . WAIT. Now, approaching three years later, I sense Him getting me ready to GO! So stay tuned! In the meanwhile, I give thanks for the lessons in waiting!  Amazed & thankful as The Little Boy Who Wouldn't Eat Cheesecake 2020-21 tour nears the station. Want to publicly say "Thank you" first to God for His perfect timing in helping us with every single detail of the book, its publication and release.   Huge thanks to my husband, Scott, for all his help, to our children AND to ALL of YOU for your support! Katherine Carver, thank you for your beautiful illustrations. You are so gifted, and your artwork brought relatable humor to the struggle of overcoming obstacles. To my father-in-law, Roger Myers, thank you for allowing me to share this sweet story from your childhood with others.  Family and friends, thank you again for cheering us on along the way (wish I had everyone's pic included). We greatly appreciate all of your encouragement over these past two difficult years!

We will be celebrating with our friends at The 5 Spot Cafe' in Lawrenceville, Georgia from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. with a special book signing and spinning for prizes! This will be a fun event to attend with your children before getting back to school. Come visit after children meet with their teacher at most local schools in the morning! By the way, The 5 Spot has Four fabulous cheesecakes to choose from . . . Banana Foster's Cheesecake, Dulce De Leche Fried Cheesecake, Reese's Peanut Butter Cheesecake (gluten free) and Vanilla Bean Cheesecake (also gluten free). Please share with any friends or family that you think might want to come.  The book, written by Christina Myers, is based on a true story set during WWII and is about a young boy, Roger, who can't understand how cheese in cake can be a good thing. With a comical twist at the end, this book is about overcoming challenges before it's too late. Along with pictures of the real Roger on the back is the verse, "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!" Psalm 34:8 (ESV).

For my sister-in-law's 60th birthday party, we found an amazing event space in historic Lilburn, Georgia, to celebrate and surprise her. Antiques in Old Town, owned by Hugh and Rowann Wilkerson, is a fun and unique place to shop, while spending time visiting with friendly faces. Reminds me of scenes from the popular television show, Designing Women, where customers and owners find connection and humor awaiting. The Wilkersons throw these amazing seasonal open houses throughout the year and host customers in their spacious building connected to the back of the store. It's like finding a secret happy place with hidden treasures.
Since they already had the store decorated for the 4th of July, coming up with birthday decorations to blend in was at first, a challenge, but taking the primary color of blue and using a beachy theme, it started to come together very nicely. 
I unrolled tropical wrapping paper to line the three large tables and used burlap, beach signs, shells, battery operated lights, paper fans, scrabble tiles and chocolate treats to use for centerpieces.
The color scheme summed up the feeling of summertime at the beach over the 4th of July!
Found these cute pineapple cup cake toppers at Hobby Lobby! Maybe you've seen the sign that reads, "Be like a pineapple . . . stand tall, wear and crown and be sweet on the inside."
Couldn't figure out why the icing on this one cupcake slide off the side. My friend Kim laughed and said, "It's clearly is going through menopause!" We both laughed with tears. I think many women can relate. Oh well, at least it still has it's pineapple crown.
The event was a great success and here's a larger pic of the event space that Antiques in Old Town offers. Call them for a quote and check out the video below where they were featured on Teresa Ingalls' YouTube channel, Keep It Historic.
Enjoy!

Instagram @humbleandbold Facebook Humble & Bold Twitter Christina @humble_bold Pinterest humble&BOLD by Christina Youtube Humble & Bold LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-myers-a44355 Thankful to Publishers Weekly for gifting us with a half page ad of The Little Boy Who Wouldn't Eat Cheesecake in this week's edition, due to a very unusual circumstance. Scroll down below and I will share what happened.  Here's a pic from the online version.  Back in October, we were contacted by a Publishers Weekly associate who offered us a special rate to advertise in their highly respected online and printed magazine. We wanted to reach librarians and educators, so felt it would be a good investment and on October 20, 2020, we paid for a 1/3 page ad to go in one of the December issues. The gentleman, will call him Markus Abner (not his real name), emailed the below proof and this message . . . I’m actually going to get you in a better issue along with everybody else in January that’s a much better feature then right before Christmas. I’ll call you this week.  We were really impressed with the proof he sent us, but it didn't appear in the January issue. Several emails were received with reasons why it needed to be pushed back to March and then no response at all. After the events of this year, wasn't sure if Markus had fallen ill. However, I knew something wasn't right and prayed that God would help everyone involved in the situation and to hear back from someone at Publishers Weekly before having to send them an email with concerns about Mr. Abner. That morning I received an email from the assistant of the CEO of PW. She apologized and asked if I could send her my email correspondence with Markus. It sounded like Markus was no longer with PW. Thankfully, Markus was well, but sadly, had made the decision to take the payments to PW and place them in his own account, ghosting PW and the authors he sold advertisements to. Because of the amount of time that had transpired since original payment, our credit card company, Bank of America, would not further investigate. Not happy about their decision, but really impressed with the CEO of Publishers Weekly who called us personally and emailed us himself to make sure we were taken care of. He said he greatly cared for his company, its reputation and the authors they serve. He could have just honored the original ad agreement, but instead, thanked me for my patience and wanted to give us a 1/2 page ad with another, larger design at no cost. Wow! Thanking the Lord and this thoughtful CEO!  To Markus Abner, I forgive you and wish you peace. Read Matthew 18:21-35 to find out why. Also, we were given permission to use the original ad for our bookmarkers, and so what was meant for evil, God turned around for good (read Genesis 50:20).  With love,

Wanted to honor and celebrate the life of an extraordinary woman who has served the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth for almost 70 years in the dutiful role of Queen and has just laid to rest the body of her beloved husband Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, after 73 years of marriage.
While her heart, mind and soul are still in a period of mourning, I wanted to take time to acknowledge her birthday and years of public service. She embodies a sense of commitment that seems foreign to many today, but her dedication to duty and the people should be observed, explained, and taught to future generations. 
Just a small way to commemorate her birthday and the calling placed on her life. A reminder to ponder what has God called us to and how can we serve and pray for one another. Used this Meri Meri It's British cupcake assorted cases and filled them with a delicious blueberry muffin mix to share with my boys for breakfast, along with a lesson of history.
As I talk with my sons, I am reminded that we are to mourn with those who are in mourning and rejoice with those who are rejoicing. It's still a bittersweet time for a recent widow turning 95, but sending our love and prayers to a great-grandmother, who also just happens to be the world's oldest reigning monarch.
There are hopes of a celebration this June, since last year events were cancelled due to health concerns. In case you missed Prince Philp's funeral last Saturday, below is a video from BBC News showing how the day unfolded. I thought it poignant that Prince Philip was the one to bring cameras
Read aloud by Justin Portal Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury
at the service of Prince Philip “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” John 11:21-27 (KJV)
