Remember that one really crappy thing you did.....?

Remember that one time you were "wrong". That time you did something you really regret?

Remember how you didnt apologize? Or gave some sort of "pseudo-apology"?


Well here is a reminder about how good asking for forgiveness can be.

Last week, I went to my mother and made a heart felt apology for the way I acted when I was 17 (20+ years ago). Face to face, with sincerity.

Her eyes watered up, my eyes swelled. The power of my wrong doing lifted from me.

My mother happily accepted my apology and gave me a hug.


Never forget how asking for forgivess and getting forgiveness can make you feel!

So pick up the phone (better in person), and give that heartfelt apology that you have denied yourself (and the other person) for so long.

Edit: I stole some jewelery from my mother and pawned it.

My 2 cents.

Walk up to the person. Make eye contact. Real contact, look at the "person", not the person's body. If that makes sense.

Then just let it flow out.

"Jane Doe, I just wanted to take a minute to let you know how sorry I am for being so inconsiderate. For doing XXXXX many years ago. I hope you will accept my apology and forgive me."

No introduction or any "fluff" needed. Just start straight out with the apology and it will do the rest for you.

In my opinion.
