When I accept an apology it means that the part in me that honors our relationship honors the part in you that honors our relationship.

Apology may be scorned, but it retains its inherent value.

An effective apology focuses more on compassion for the victim than redemption for the offender.

An apology informed is good; an apology performed is better.

Apology may start as a feeling, a desire to make matters right, but it requires a commitment to move that desire into practice, to actually take on the great courageous task of showing compassion to others.

When I accept an apology it means that the part in me that honors our relationship honors the part in you that honors our relationship.

Apology is not for the faint of heart, but then, neither is life.
