Gratitude Wave Necklace

Today I wore the Gratitude Wave made by Waves Of Gratitude.  Everytime someone complamented my necklace or I looked down at it I thought of all the things to be greatful of.  Wearing this necklace truly reminds me to smile and find the positive in life and what it has to offer.

Today I woke up and enjoyed the relaxation of Yoga this morning. After I felt rejuvenated and ready for anything that came my way.  I knew I wanted to keep the feelings Yoga brought to me throughout the day.  That’s why I wore the Waves Of Gratitude Yoga Waves, to remind me of how I can wear a piece of jewelry that truly relaxes me.

This piece to me symbolizes the beauty and strength we all have and is a reminder to me when I wear it.

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.

The solid sterling silver Waves of Gratitude Yoga Wave is a beautiful, fluid and sculpted form perfect for any yoga enthusiast because it so closely aligns with the lifestyle and philosophy that inspires a unification of mind, body and spirit.

Waves of Gratitude co-founder Cheryl Nordyke, a yoga enthusiast herself, says, “Yoga has been there for me through some very difficult times. It has helped me remain centered. When I wear the Yoga Wave I am reminded that my practice isn’t only on the mat.”

Waves of Gratitude founders Cheryl Nordyke and Kim Wierman were interviewed on 99Rock Views from the Valley. Katherine asked Cheryl and Kim about their favorite part of starting Waves of Gratitude.

Their answer? Cheryl and Kim didn’t talk about procuring an angel investor in a down economy to start Waves of Gratitude or launching www.wavesofgratitude.com to give the world beautiful and meaningful jewelry and apparel designed to symbolize gratitude. Cheryl and Kim’s favorite part of starting Waves of Gratitude is working with like minded people who have a positive energy level.

My name is Mary Ann Wasil Nilan and I am a five+ year breast cancer kickin’ survivor, health activist and the Executive Director & Founder of the Get In Touch Foundation!  I’m also a mother of three teens, two of them daughters I was determined to teach the importance of breast self exam to.  After finding no program for young girls in existence, I realized that necessity really is the motherhood of invention…and I needed to get this information out to all girls, not just the ones that call me “Mom.”

So, a few years ago, with the help of a friend who is a school nurse, I facilitated a focus group of a dozen girls ranging in age from 8 to 18. All of them were familiar with breast cancer, but every girl, with the exception of my daughters, thought that you actually got breast cancer from wearing your bra too tight. Whoa. That was an eye-opener.

In response to the surprising results of our focus group, and in collaboration with a medical consulting board, I developed the Daisy Wheel. It’s a little larger than a CD, and it has one cut-out petal that rotates over the “8 Tips for 8-Straight” years of the Girls’ Program. The Daisy Wheel educates girls on proper breast healthcare with every tip — from Tip #1, “BSE Breast Self Exam,” to Tip #3, “Lying down, firmly press 3 fingers on your breast in a circular motion. Examine each petal,” to the marching orders of Tip #8, “Did you see or feel something that worries you? Don’t be embarrassed – tell your mom, dad, sister, grandma, school nurse, teacher, your BFF!  Talk about it – GET IN TOUCH!”

Health educators are encouraged to give the Daisy Wheel to girls starting in the fifth grade. The girls use the tool – and receive a new one each year — through the 12th grade.

Our goal is to put a Daisy Wheel in the hands of every girl in the world, thus “changing the world one girl at a time!”  No small goal, but with the help of our friends at Waves of Gratitude and the beauty of their Branches of Hope necklace, we are well on our way!

Each Branches of Hope purchase from the collection of Waves of Gratitude Inspired Jewelry available exclusively at www.wavesofgratitude.com means 3 Daisy Wheels get into the hands of 3 girls!

Grateful?  Oh, yeah…grateful x 3!!!
