This issue of US News and World Report arrived at our home yesterday afternoon and was sitting, relatively unnoticed, on our kitchen counter – but not unnoticed by my nearly-10-year-old daughter. She held it up and said to her dad, “Why isn’t mom on this list?!? It says, ‘America’s Best Leaders!’”
That may be the highest compliment I’ll ever be paid – whether or not I ever make it to a magazine cover. Thank you, sweet girl. I’m humbled and amazed.
