Truly Inspirational and good for the soul….
Frank McKinney, an intellectual craftsman, intertwines art, weaves it with creative images, and knits it with words on marbles which have become golden nuggets that you can use to start your day and go to bed at night. His unconventional methods boldly deliver transformative insights through his new book Aspirational Thoughts • Inspirational Images: An Art Gallery & Teacher, A Photography Exhibit & Mentor.
At its core, Frank’s work asserts that our thoughts shape our reality, heavily influenced by the images we surround ourselves with. The last three chapters speak greatly to me, and I piece it together this way.. “Hope in God and His Love guarantees the Winning Streak in life”.
For anyone seeking a new life manual or looking to empower others, buy this book and even gift it to others, you will have blessed them with something beyond described worth. Aspirational Thoughts • Inspirational Images is a must-experience. Its impact is priceless, offering more than mere motivation—a blueprint for reclaiming purpose and meaning.

Truly Inspirational and good for the soul….
This book is wonderful, uplifting, inspiring and what most of us need. I keep it on my family room coffee table and read it constantly. I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter and photo but I have two favorites. They are very significant in my life, Hope and God. I encourage anyone that needs inspiration, positive words and photos (who doesn’t?) to buy this book NOW. It will make a difference in your life. It did in mine.

A multimedia tour of the author’s heart and mind
I truly enjoyed this creative, soulful work and all the thought that went into making it even more engaging with QR codes to videos that continue the conversation. Knowing that it was created to help the people of Haiti as much as the reader made it even better.

Simply Amazing
Like a fine bottle of wine Frank McKinney keeps getting better with age. If you liked his first eight books, you’ll love Aspirational Thoughts & Inspirational Images. The accompanying QR codes with each chapter, provide a heightened understanding for some of the images in each chapter. Two thumbs up!!

Amazing Book! Go Get It!
Author Frank McKinney is truly a modern-day Renaissance Man. He first became famous for being a real estate mogul selling multi-million dollar beachfront properties in South Florida but evolved into becoming a best-selling author in multiple genres as well as becoming a philanthropist or as he says, “philanthro-capitalist”. His books support his Caring House Project which has provided thousands of people in Haiti with help. His latest book, “Aspirational Thoughts, Inspirational Images” is a gem! I have enjoyed the beautiful photography on the pages and I have learned a lot from Frank’s words of wisdom. What’s unique about this book is that some of the pages have QR codes which tell you the story of each photograph. If you appreciate a beautiful coffee table book and like a big dose of inspiration and positivity in your life, order this book now. You will not regret it and you would have helped children in Haiti as well.

The Aspirational Thoughts • Inspirational Images Book Tour: 85-venues, 70-days, 60-cities, 33-states, 11,990-miles…
The Aspirational Thoughts • Inspirational Images Book Tour stopped at 85 homeless shelters, soup kitchens, food pantries, veterans’ facilities, abused women’s shelters, juvenile detention centers, treatment centers, family shelters, respite facilities, HIV positive-only shelters, Salvation Army’s, business organizations, church groups, LQBTQ-only shelters, schools, hospitals, TV stations, radio stations, podcasts, and bookstores to deliver the message of hope found in Aspirational Thoughts • Inspirational Images.
Below you’ll find all 85 tour stops, complete with City, State, Venue, Address, Date, Time.
While we begin to edit hundreds of hours of footage for a documentary, here are a few things I learned from visiting 85 shelters/venues in 70 days, covering 11,990 miles over 60 cities in 33 states, putting us in front of 5,000+ homeless:
• Don’t judge, care. Of the 5,000 homeless we met, 70% were lucid, educated, well spoken.
• More people are 1 paycheck away from being unhoused, or 1 paycheck away from being off the streets than you can imagine.
• 1/3 of those we met are happy being homeless, many happier than you and me. They want to live off the grid and don’t want or need our help.
• There are excellent models out there that are truly solving a problem that will never go away, and many shelters that could learn from them.
• Next time you see a homeless person I suggest you go out of your way and simply ask their name, then introduce yourself and tell them they matter. It will be uncomfortable.
• You want to change the world? The world is seen through the eyes of 1, not the eyes of 8 billion. When you change someone’s world through an act of caring, you have indeed changed the world, their world. The only world they know.
• I thought my greatest effort in endurance was reflected in my 7 Badwater 135-mile Ultramarathon finishes in 125° heat in Death Valley. I was wrong. Performing at 85 shelters (18 different kind of care facilities) in 70 days proved harder.
Aspirational Thoughts • Inspirational Images, An Art Gallery & Teacher – A Photography Exhibit & Mentor contains 135 contemplative photographs taken by me + nearly 300 evocative thoughts, quotes, and ideas curated over 10 meditative chapters: ACTION, INTROSPECT, BREATHE, LAUGH, LEGACY, DEATH, RISK, HOPE, GOD, and LOVE.
