Overview

1. Review your Step 4 Inventory.

3. Willing to Amend? Think especially of those that you need to make amends to. If you are willing, put Yes.
4. Type: Direct or Indirect. If you directly affected them and they know it, put Direct. If you affected them indirectly and they don’t know it, put Indirect.
5. Letter: If you are not willing to make direct, face-to-face amends, but you are willing to write a letter you will never mail, put Letter here and then Done when you complete it.
