My 2 cents on the subject

Hi Jessica, Great video! You are so right about the low vibration of the words I'm sorry. Most of us have been raised to use that phrase.

I read somewhere that when someone feels hurt or offended, what they usually want is an apology, or some sort of acknowledgment. If you replace "I'm sorry" with "I apologize for what I said/did, I didn't mean to hurt/offend you", you've given them what they want without projecting the low vibration of feeling "sorry" or sad. I find it to be respectful and empowering to both parties. I don't always remember, it's a work in progress.

As far as saying "I'm sorry" when someone has experienced a loss, I love your suggestion.

With love and gratitude,

Pam
