: My family came to visit me this summer for the first time in many years. We had such a good time together, but I fear it won’t happen again. Related Articles It was expensive for everyone to come to my summer community — it was a large group, so they had to rent a house.
I treasure spending time with my family and want to figure out how to make it easier to get together more frequently. My sister can afford to rent the house, but it’s a lot to ask for her to do it. Do you have any ideas on getting folks together? Why not start by talking to your sister? Thank her for coming with her family to spend time with you.
Point out highlights of your visit that made you all happy. Ask her if she thinks they can come again or if you should all consider alternate places to gather to be together. Invite her to participate in the decision-making.
It could be that the cost is of no consequence to her. On the other hand, she might have ideas on other activities you can engage in that may vary the experience and have less of a financial impact. Talk it out.
: I have a big presentation at work next week that I am nervous about. Public speaking isn’t my strong suit because I trip over my words. I often find myself getting sweaty palms, my heart races and I struggle to maintain eye contact with the audience.
It’s gotten to the point where I dread any situation that requires me to speak in front of a group. This presentation is particularly important as it could impact my career grow.
