I don't know if those that were on my guest blog remembered back on Valentine's Day I had a very special guest that honestly NO ONE knew I was having....which made the whole day a bit more special.

For those of you who don't know him.....his name is Billy Thomas and today I decided to have him as my man that inspires for Monday.

Billy is not only handsome (as the pictures show) but also is thoughtful, kind and a wonderful father to his two children.

Billy is also owner of Insane Supplements, where he sells supplements, vitamins along with other things that you want to help with your diet and also help you to be toned as well as muscle.

Picture





























































Today's Inspirational Man is Frank Budelewski aka Big Frank and as the pictures show above, you can tell exactly why they call him Big Frank.

I got the chance to talk to Frank by way my good friend and fellow writer Taabia Dupree who has him on the cover of her book "Groupie" which I honestly suggest you check out (link will be at the end of this to get your copy) and I can tell you that he is one extraordinary man with such an amazing story of how he came up on top after dealing with so much in his life. 

I can say that Frank is the personification of a survivor who despite all that he has been through in his life, he's been able to show that despite things that might have happened in the past....you can make a way towards what you strive to do for your future.

Frank has a column on Fit and Firm Magazine called "Ask Big Frank" where he gives advice about fitness and bodybuilding as well as doing interviews with other fitness models and bodybuilders.

You can read about Frank's Story about his struggles and how he was able to be the man that he is today at the following link:

NEW TRAILER FOR THE ADMISSION

I have always wanted to do a trailer for one of my books.

Since I've seen friends of mine do them for their own and even though they had told me HOW I could do it, I never really could get the knack for doing it.

So the other night, I decided to give it a try since I really hadn't been writing at all, I sat here and went on my Windows Movie Maker and got to working.

Well after making some corrections and adding on somethings as well, I was FINALLY able to make a trailer that I can say was a wonderful process that ended up being a beautiful ending to a long night.

So I hope you enjoy my work and enjoy

On WOW Wednesday's.....it will be a mix up of either fun facts or HAWT pictures


Today's fun fact for Wednesday is this

The human brain has the capacity to store everything that you experience.


So that moment when you thought no one was watching you scratch your butt and you found out that actually some folks were watching.....yeah you have that stored away somewhere in your brain.

Oh that time when you were 7 and you took a dollar out of your mom's purse or dad's wallet to get you some ice cream....yeah....your brain has that memory stored for sure.
