Apologies

Hi there, it's Amelia Kate. I am so very sorry for not staying up to date with the blog, please forgive my sister and I. We didn't think it through that starting a blog around the holidays can be a set up for disaster. Hopefully, our readers understand that we are busy (shopping, cooking, cleaning, working, wrapping gifts, setting up decorations, more shopping, driving to see family, ect.). The new year has come and though it may be late: HAPPY NEW YEAR! Jessica and I hope that 2015 is a fantabulous year filled with happiness and joy. It is apart of my new years resolution to post weekly.

I am very sorry about not posting, and because of the apologizing I had in mind for this post, I decided to write about apologies. Saying "sorry" is easy. It's just a word. But meaning it? That's much more difficult. 

Ask yourself these questions and follow through with tips you think will best help you when apologizing. 

How bad is it?

On a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being not so bad and 10 being horribly sorry and you made a big mistake, is your problem? If it is anywhere between 4-7, this post will help. If it is between 1-3, then a sorry should fix it and some love. Use your common sense and you'll be fine. If it is between 8-10, you have gotten yourself in a HUGE problem and sorry is not going to cut it. It will take a long time and if the person is forgiving enough, your apology will be accepted. 

Scaled 4-7

This post is here for you. You've made a mistake and the word isn't enough to patch up it all up. Your first go-to is to SHOW you are sorry. Let them know that in your heart that you know you messed up and you understand their frustration with you. 

The number 1 thing to keep in mind is:

Time and love heals

If you show in your heart that you will never make that same mistake again and care about the damage you made, time will allow opportunity for peace. 

I hope I helped! Have a great and beautiful week, 

Amelia Kate
