A How-To
Guide
A few years ago, a friend of mine asked me to organize a “celebration of life” after his passing. I answered, no.
Only because I didn’t like the idea of us getting together to shower him with our love and appreciation without
him present. I convinced him to have a living tribute for his next birthday, celebrating the life he has lived.
Looking back, I was grateful for hosting and organizing a living tribute because a few months later my friend
passed away. This is when I realized that many of us are hesitant in expressing our feelings for others and feel
reluctant to show how much we care for them. Why is that?
Expressions of gratitude build strong bridges between people, it releases warmth in us, and can even change
lives. But how can we make it easier?
We are excited to introduce an easy and fun impactful movement: Say It Now. We created a straightforward
guide to jumpstart your journey with Say It Now and a series of gratitude expressions.
Say It Now
to people who have impacted and shaped your life.
to enhance relationships with those who mean the most to you.
to share how you are stronger and happier because of someone else’s existence.
because your words can change lives, and become part of someone’s most memorable moments.
welcome to
In this Say It Now guide you will find activities that allow you to choose your own gratitude expression through
writing a letter, sharing verbally, or arranging a living tribute event.
Join the movement by sharing your Say It Now expression using #SAYITNOW on any social media platform,
and tag four people you challenge to do the same.
With gratitude, Walter Green
Founder of the Say It Now movement

Why Gratitude
The word gratitude stems from the Latin root word grata or gratia, which means given gift.
Gratitude can have a few different meanings depending on the context and on the person.
Gratitude is a positive emotion that comes
from something good that happened to you.
When a positive experience occurs, it can trigger gratitude and we may experience feelings
such as warmth, comfort, happiness, admiration, love, and other positive thoughts and
emotions. Gratitude can be practiced and expressed in many ways.
Gratitude is a state of being and an expression towards someone who has made a positive
impact on your life. Whether it changed you for the better, helped you during tough moments,
or gave you the support that you needed, gratitude is more than acknowledging someone.
Explore interesting questions and a few awesome videos to reflect on what gratitude means to
you. Go to page 15 to get yourself started.

Remember:
Expressing gratitude can be challenging. Some find it difficult to identify their emotions and feelings.
Or find it challenging to express and pick the right words. Others may feel uncomfortable, unnatural,
or odd. Some can find it hard to reflect and identify someone they are grateful for.
There are many tools available to overcome these challenges, which we have shared in this guide.
Bear in mind that dealing with challenges is how we can grow and there is a solution for every
challenge! This is also known as having a GROWTH MINDSET.
Introduction

Research has shown that gratitude is strongly and consistently connected with greater
happiness. It can help people feel more positive emotions, enjoy good experiences, improve
their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.

When we share our gratitude with others, we appreciate what we have and what others have
done for us. We all can experience challenges, doubts, difficulties, and tough days.
After completing your gratitude expression, go to
page 16 to complete your post reflection.
Reflecting on your expression of gratitude is part of
what makes this shared experience so meaningful.
Reflect on the journey for wisdom or self-exploration,
the joy of the experience, and inspire others to do
the same.

A small gesture, action, words, and support can change how we feel, think, and act.
Recognizing those who support us is a way to show real and authentic love, appreciation, and
recognition. This can bring joy, gratitude, and a deeper connection between both individuals.

I remember the day you said you wouldn’t make it to my game, but somehow you
made it happen. I admire that you are always honest, sincere, and hard working.
Whatever happens, you always find a way to be there for me, as a support and
guide.
You have taught me that being kind and generous without expecting anything in
return is the key to happiness. You have also helped me be a great friend because
you are a great friend to me.
I wish you happiness, health, and more adventures with me and those who you
love.

You were the best teacher I had in high school. When I started grade 9, you were

needed any help. I appreciate your kindness, smile, and generosity. Thank you for
making my first year in high school so memorable. I was super scared to move to a
new city, school, and start all over. Your kindness and time really helped me feel
safe and comfortable.
I wanted to share that I have successfully been accepted to the college of my
dreams. Thank you for teaching me how to be resilient and work hard through any
challenges. Most importantly, how to balance school, family, personal, and friends.
You taught me that I am the captain of my life, choosing how I want to sail my boat,
even though there are things I cannot control, like the weather or winds, but I
should continue sailing forward and be prepared for any storms or sunshines.
Thank you!! I wish you a beautiful year filled with love!

Write it out
Using your answers from the thought-starter questions and write or type out your gratitude message
for the special person you are planning to meet.
Tip
You can begin by sharing a challenging moment you experienced and how you overcame it with
their support. Or you can begin with stating your intention for the meeting and why you decided to
connect with them.
Remember, there is no right or wrong way of how you want to start and share your gratitude. Pick a
flow that feels comfortable and easy.
When you are sharing moments or events that left an impression on you, don’t forget to share what
those specific moments were, how they made you feel, and why it was important to you.
Think about where you were, what they did, why you want to show gratitude, and how they have
impacted your life. You want to write the same way you speak, as if you were speaking to them
directly. Use simple and easy to understand language.
Plan a time together
Reach out to set a date and time with the person. You can meet at a coffee shop, restaurant, invite
them over, or even connect via a phone call or any digital video platform.
If you wish to keep your gratitude expression a surprise, simply say that you want to reconnect and
catch up.
Make it memorable
Bring flowers or baked goodies to enhance the experience. Cherish the time together by
maintaining your attention on the person, using your listening skills, and sharing your gratitude
through a hug – with permission of course!
Take a picture of that moment together and discuss how the experience made you both feel.

Writing a Gratitude Message
for the Living Tribute Event
Writing is a powerful process that puts your thoughts into words and sentences that can change
everything. Through writing we can share memories, events, stories, and experiences that give
others an understanding of our life.
A well written tribute message can use various elements to captivate listeners and connect everyone
to a specific feeling.
Use the following tips to help you.
The basics
Begin by addressing the person by starting with “Dear” or “To”.
Remember to keep the message short (3-5 minutes), as most people can’t focus for too long
when someone is speaking.
Depending on how much time you have and how many people are attending, ensure that
everyone is aware of how much time they have to speak. This way everyone gets a chance to
share their expressions of gratitude.
The beginning
Start with thanking the guests who have attended and the special person for being there. If you
are not the host of the event, don’t forget to thank the host.
If you are the host, explain what “A Living Tribute” is and why you decided to host one. Briefly
explain why sharing our gratitude is important.
If you are not the host, explain why you decided to attend the living tribute and what gratitude
means to you, including why it’s important.
The tribute
Kick off with how you know the special person, what relationship you share, how long you have
known them. You can also start with a funny story, quote, or one memory before you explain how
you know the guest and so forth.
Next, talk about memories you have with the special guest. Don’t forget to share how those
memories make you feel and why they are important to you.
Continue with sharing how the special person has impacted your life. You may share any
Introduction
challenge(s) you experienced and how the special guest supported you with this, directly or
indirectly. You can also share any lessons you have learned from them.
Don’t forget to thank them and share why you are grateful!
Close with your wishes for the special person. What do you wish they continue to do or have?
What do you wish for them now and in the future?
Remember
Be specific about what actions the person did that you are grateful for. When you share details,
it shows how much it meant or impacted you.
You can always surprise everyone by wrapping up the living tribute message with a creative
gesture, such as a song you want to sing, a poem you wrote, pictures you want to share, etc.

matter. Special
relationships
are a treasure.”

Introduction
Hello (name of the guest or leave it blank),
My name is ____(your name)____ and I am planning a Living Tribute for ____(special person’s name)___. I
know ___(special person’s name)___ through ___(how do you know the special person)__ and they have
deeply impacted my life in many ways.
It is important to celebrate those who we are grateful for, especially voicing our recognition together on how
a person has impacted our lives. I am hosting a Living Tribute by gathering all those who want to celebrate
___(special person’s name)__. This is my way of taking part in an incredible initiative on gratitude called Say
It Now.
Showing gratitude is such a powerful message and can highlight how a person’s actions and words have
inspired, influenced, and encouraged someone. It is important to share our gratitude as it deepens
connections, relationships, enhances our sense of purpose, and brings happiness in everyone’s lives.
Please feel free to extend this invite to anyone else who may want to be part of this experience. You can
attend the Living Tribute event by coming prepared with any form of gratitude expression that you are
comfortable sharing.
Here are some ideas:
Write a letter or poem of gratitude
Sing a rap or song
Share a story of gratitude
Create a video thanking the person and what they have done
Create a poster highlighting the person’s strengths and what you admire about them
Write out a simple thank you statement
To ensure everyone gets time to express their gratitude, each individual has 3-5 minutes to speak.
To get yourself started, complete the following worksheet: Reflecting on the Person.
Please RSVP if you are attending the event and have your gratitude expression ready by (due date).
Together, we will be sharing our gratitude on (date and time) at (location/web meeting link) where

Guide to Planning an Incredible
Living Tribute Event
The basics
Use your support team to plan, help, and share tasks or responsibilities. Think of games, food,
managing the guest list, location, etc. Make sure everyone is communicating!
Have the final guest count and confirm everyone knows the details.
Ensure the location is easily accessible, such as a local park, a favorite restaurant, or someone’s
place (if hosting in person).
Ensure the day and time works for most guests.
Check in with everyone to see if they have their gratitude message ready to be shared. Provide
any support or clarification if needed.
Send out a reminder a few days before.
If hosting a virtual event, support anyone who may have trouble accessing it.
Event details
Remember to ask for food preferences or allergies.
Use decor like balloons, streamers, flowers, or T-shirts, etc.
Order a cake with the message “Say It Now” or another special wish.
If it’s a surprise, ensure the special person is arriving later, this way the guests can all get there
in time.
Once the guests have arrived, introduce yourself as the host and begin with what Say It Now
is to get things started.
Invite others to share their message of gratitude.
Celebrating the event
Capture memories by taking pictures, videos, and being present. Make sure everyone is
comfortable with capturing the moments.
Introduce guests to each other or introduce yourself to others. Start a conversation with:
How do you know the special person that the tribute is for?
What does gratitude mean to you?
What are you grateful for today?
Invite others to share their message of gratitude.
