Ask Aviva: New in the hood jitters
By Aviva Rizel

Dear Aviva,

I just moved to a new community.  I know that all beginnings are difficult, but it’s taken more of a toll on me than I had expected.  I feel overwhelmed with all my responsibilities of setting up a new home, making new friends, and getting to know the neighborhood.  I feel that I have to live up to the expectations of the norm here, which include having a job, looking great, keeping a clean, modern home, and cooking superb Shabbat meals, all while maintaining a healthy relationship with my husband.  But I don’t feel like Superwoman!  How can I ease into my new community without feeling these pressures all at once?
