EXPRESSIONS OF GRATITUDE AWARD RECIPIENT IS 73 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER WHO HAS STYLE

“She is the truest definition of gratitude with grace. It is from her that I have learned what it truly means to be grateful everyday for even the simplest of life’s blessings”.

These are the words of Brandi Brown, the woman who nominated her grandmother Pat Wharton for the Waves of Gratitude Expressions of Gratitude Award designed to recognize individuals that express gratitude in their lives with extraordinary personal style.

We are pleased to announce that 73 year old Pat Wharton of Edmond, Oklahoma is the winner of the first Waves of Gratitude Expressions of Gratitude Award. Waves of Gratitude founders Cheryl Nordyke and Kim Wierman deliberated between many deserving nominees and selected Pat for maintaining an unwavering focus on gratitude through many losses: her home at age 6, her older brother at age 10 and her father at age 30.

Pat, the Expressions of Gratitude Award winner, received the stylish solid sterling silver Branches of Hope Pendant with a Swarovski clear quartz crystal pictured above on Genuine Black Leather, a necklace to honor her lifelong commitment to expressing gratitude. Inspired by the strength and magnificence of the Cyprus tree, the Branches of Hope pendant by renowned jewelry designer Jessica Fields is the signature piece in the collection of Inspired Jewelry by Waves of Gratitude. The jewelry is designed to give people the opportunity to wear symbols of gratitude that are both beautiful and meaningful.

Reward yourself or someone special with a Branches of Hope necklace to remember the importance of expressing gratitude.

Don’t forget to nominate someone special for the second Expressions of Gratitude Award before April 30, 2010.
