Progress occurs one apology at a time.

Apology sends the clearest signal that we have the strength of character to reconcile ourselves with the truth.

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

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

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 both transactional, in that it restores what has been broken to what it was before, and transformational, in that it creates opportunities that didn't exist before.

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.

Accepting the apology signals the acknowledgment of a need to move forward, but not necessarily together.

Apology is the most courageous gesture we can make to ourselves.
