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.

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

An effective apology contains within it the answer to the question, "How am I to be held accountable?"

Apology is the practice of extending ourselves because we value the relationship more than we value the need to be right.

The purpose of apology is to extend ourselves in such a way that relationships become deeper, and life becomes richer and more human in the process.

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.
