Apologies have more power than most of us realize to restore strained relationships, free us from vengeful impulses, and create possibilities for growth.
Apology is not for the faint of heart, but then, neither is life.
An apology informed is good; an apology performed is better.
An effective apology focuses more on compassion for the victim than redemption for the offender.
We rarely wrestle with apology and lose.
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.
