Mary:)

Nice.  Very nice.

I would take issue with this statement, however:

"It may be a stretch to call this leadership, but it is my goal for every person I encounter, to make their day better because they ran into me."

This is no stretch, but a great way to frame in simple and clear language what being a servant leader is all about.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom and that of the others ... we are all better off for you having done so.
