How I did it: I remembered reading about forgiveness letters in Iyanla Vanzant's Value in the Valley then I looked for sample letters online. I spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect format, then I realized that I just needed to do it. This perfect summer day felt like a peaceful time to dig deep. I also burned the letters afterwards.
Lessons & tips: The first letter -- to an old boss -- and the last, one I wrote to myself, were the most valuable. I also realized I wanted to write 6 letters, not 12. I wasn't holding onto resentment towards that many people!
Resources: Iyanla Vanzant's book, "Value in the Valley."

Was this a forgiveness letter to ask forgiveness or to tell someone that you forgive them? Or can it be both? There are a lot of people who I should ask for forgiveness, and also a lot of people that I ought to forgive.
on getting this done! It must be such a good feeling to have it completed so you can move on. Good job!
