But life's obstacles intruded -- no money, then an eat-me-alive job as a CEO, marriage and children. Don't get me wrong. Some of these obstacles were very nice. But a time came when I had to say "it's now or never," and my family and I packed up and moved to Spain--twice. Once for eight months and the next time for six. We lived in a tiny mountain village near Granada where people travel on mules, grow olives and oranges and stir up at least a dozen fiestas each year. Our two children went to the village public school, my photographer husband took pictures, and I danced flamenco. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I wrote a book about it--I'm still writing it.
