Why? Probably because of the emotional connection I have to them, and maybe even more, the emotional connection to whatever it is I "should" be apologizing about. That said, I am getting better. And this is really a great reminder of why I should be doing it. And the really important part for me - when apologizing - is to remember to NOT include an excuse - that is such a key part of making a sincere apology. Thanks Tess - this is all great stuff! <abbr><em>Lance’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.jungleoflife.com/2009/01/05/and-the-word-is/">And The Word Is…</a></abbr></em> Hi Tess,

And the really important part for me – when apologizing – is to remember to NOT include an excuse – that is such a key part of making a sincere apology.

Thanks Tess – this is all great stuff!

Who needs to cintinuously run "He said, she said" in their head? It steals our energy. Obviously not me and you! Jannie,

Once I became willing to apologize and get my ego out of the way I discovered how easy and beneficial it really is.

Who needs to cintinuously run “He said, she said” in their head? It steals our energy. Obviously not me and you!
