Hi I'm Nicole. Kisses from Koula was created in honor and remembrance of my YiaYia (Yes, I'm Greek). She taught me through our many cooking lessons that sealing whatever you make with a kiss (adding love) is the MOST important ingredient. After a difficult year of much loss and many changes, as Christmas was approaching I wanted to give something to close friends and family that would serve as an

encouragement. I knew that good things had happened during the year but they were overshadowed by the pain I was in. I LOVED the idea of creating a "Blessings Jar" it was exactly what I needed and was looking for - exactly what I wish I had throughout that year! I decorated and gave out "Blessings Jars" to 10 friends and family - explaining what their purpose was. I set a date for the following December that I would host a dinner party where we all would bring our jars, go through and share a few "blessings" with each other. After the year was through, we could save our "blessings" (creating a BEAUTIFUL legacy we can pass down) and start over again with the new year! From the original jars I gave out as gifts - word started to spread among other friends and their families and "Blessings Jars" have been in demand since, thus the birth of Kisses from Koula! What is a blessing? It's simple, something that has made you happy, brought you happiness! Some more ideas for YOUR jars: -Thanksgiving Jars- Create a new family tradition on THANKSGIVING! Record "blessings" throughout the year and on Thanksgiving go through your jars and share as a family.

-Engagement Jars- Give as a gift to a newly engaged couple to record the "blessings" leading up to their special day! -Wedding Jars- Give as a gift to a newlywed couple to record the "blessings" of their first year of marriage. On their 1st anniversary they can read through all they've both recorded and continue to practice this tradition every anniversary! -Remembrance Jars- Having a jar for someone you may have recently lost - allowing everyone in the family to write memories or thoughts of them.
-Expectant Parents/New Parents Jars- Recording in you jars the "blessings" leading up to birth or in the first years of life.
-New Beginnings Jars- Maybe your child just graduated high school, perhaps theirs a new job, new home - for al of life's beginnings - record the "blessings"! Blessings jars serve as a reminder to you and your loved ones of the many special moments and joys- big or small -that we too often forget or overlook. xo-Niki

As we near to Thanksgiving what a great way to express thanks within a family, and look back and remember in years to come! How often we are prone to forget.

Such a simple principal, yet somehow so difficult to do at times. Pay attention to what you are fixing your mind/thoughts on... a wise Pastor has taught me something like this- don't get caught up looking down at the weeds... look up so you don't miss the fruit! 💕There's always always something to be grateful for.

I want to be a little transparent this morning-
My first thought when I woke up was laced in fear. Fear related to very real circumstances going on, as my mom is very sick. However I then opened my Bible App to start reading verses to focus my attention off the storm around me and instead on my source of hope, peace and joy. I then started thinking of all the amazing people who love me, who love my mom, who are kind to me... and I now have a completely different focus and attitude as I go off into the day. I also decided to reach out and let a couple of them know! Reflecting more light (cause reflecting Jesus is always my goal- shining BRIGHT)! So I want to challenge you to do the same! Good mood, bad mood... choose to redirect your thoughts choose to set a tone of gratefulness and love!

My circumstances have not changed... but my attitude and perspective have! And that makes all the difference in the world! 💕
