The grace of the second chance:

Missed a deadline? Forgot to reply? Raised your voice when you should have stayed calm?

Good manners aren't about never messing up‐they're about what we do next. Apologies, thank-yous, course corrections, and thoughtful follow-up all matter more than perfection ever did.

Give yourself permission to reset--and extend that permission to others, as well.

What's one reset you're allowing yourself right now?

Mother's day is tomorrow! Whether you're celebrating Mom, Grandma, or another mother figure, a little courtesy goes a long way. Here are three Mother's Day manners to remember:

1. A handwritten note means more than a dozen roses (though roses would still be greatly appreciated).

2. Offer to help with the meal... or even offer to take over the kitchen.

3. Put away the phone and give your full attention. It's the best gift of all.

What's your favorite Mother's Day tradition or memory? Share it below!

Etiquette doesn't need to be stuck in the past. We have to make sure it evolves with the times.

In Emily Post's day is was considered rude to call someone after 9:00pm. Today people are often more worried about texting in ALL CAPS, or questioning whether you should end a texted sentence with a period.

What's your modern day etiquette pet peeve?

Are you making this common etiquette mistake?

Good manners are more than knowing which fork to use. They help us show kindness, respect and thoughtfulness to others. But sometimes, we unknowingly make etiquette mistakes that can effect how we're perceived.

Let's talk about a small, but mighty mistake you may be making without realizing it: interrupting others during conversation.

Tip of the day: If you find yourself wanting to speak while someone else is, try this: wait until the other person pauses or asks for your thoughts. Not only is it a show of respect, but it helps you appear more confident.

What's one small thing you do to keep conversations polite?
