"I feel like maybe I should just show up and act confident and if I get called out on breaking any rules or not doing well overall I just say "that’s how I learned how to play" and adapt from there."

"Lately, I have noticed when I host dinner parties, no one offers to help with the clean-up afterwards. I was raised to always help the host with dishes and I have been surprised that this seems to keep happening. Maybe it’s just me?"

"I have heard this concern from multiple singles living on the South Shore, so you are certainly not alone."

"I moved to the South Shore during the pandemic while I was working remotely, and now I am looking for a new job and I am having some setbacks."

"Ever since the pandemic, I find my friends feel more comfortable with cancelling and flaking on plans last minute with little excuse."

"I have lots of friends from out-of-province and the USA who are eager to visit Lunenburg. Many have reached out recently asking if they can stay with me this fall."

People often dream of living in a cooperative community. Well, Anne Macleod Weeks did for 40 years. As a teacher, dorm parent, guidance counselor, coach, principal, and advisor to faculty and parents in boarding schools, she pretty much experienced all that life can throw at you.  She welcomes your questions and concerns.
