Introduction I am a neurotic thirty-something trying to cope with the sometimes overwhelming stress that comes with balancing work and family life. I live in Tanzania with my family. Tanzania the beautiful, the site of the great migration, and of amazing Zanzibar. Tanzania which is plagued by a power crisis that leaves most of the country without electricity 16 hours a day--adding to the peeves that make my grey hair increase in multitudes. That said, I wake up each day grateful for what I have--my family, my life, my work, and everything in between.
