Mark and I were in high school together andI lost contact with him until a couple of years ago. We connected through facebook. Mark has a mantra that he uses that helped him through the mourning of the death of his first wife..."keep on washing your dishes". When I was in a place of deep anguish that I believed I would not survive, Mark shared those words with me and they changed my life forever. They are simple but carry a powerful message. His words have become my mantra and I have shared them with many individuals that feel that they are in a place of hopelessness. His gifts are many and he shares them with a humility that few of us on this earth posess. God blessed me abundantly when he brought Mark back into my life.
