..".a profound, deep awakening and inspiration..." On our life's journey there are major turning points. Falling, fracturing her hip, and then having surgery were experiences that forced Barbara Sinor to travel an unknown path. These experiences took her beyond her normal life to exploring emotions and thoughts in foreign regions. While Barbara was confined to a rehabilitation facility to recover, her inner journey took her through territories of fear, doubt, pain, guilt, and down other emotional paths. Regardless of your personal struggle, the lessons in Inspirational Musings offer courage and insights to awaken and transform. "Drawing on words from many teachers and adding her own honest stories and reflection during a time of convalescence, Barbara offers us a small book to dip into when we want to go deeper, when we need to find healing for this moment. Inspirational Musings is a book to slip into your pocket or bag as you travel the journey that is taken by human beings." --Oriah "Mountain Dreamer" House, author, The Invitation "Sinor's poetic musings around topics such as Compassion, Suffer¬ing, Beauty, Joy, Awakening, and Faith not only inspire us, but awaken our souls to discover mean¬ing and purpose both during and after our pain." --Holli Kenley, M.A., MFT, author, Daughters Betrayed By Their Mothers "Reading this booklet of insights reached up and grabbed me within the first few pages.

Whether addicted or not, we all have stories to tell The stories of tragedy and redemption found within Tales of Addiction are not about the well known celebrities you find in the usual tabloids. Rather, these stories are true-grit tales told by people you will never meet but whose words will haunt you for months, years maybe. The author collected the stories for over two years through a "call for stories" she put in journals, workshops and lectures. Interwoven throughout, Barbara and her son share their own story of pain and struggle. In this book, you'll learn: How an addict's life begins Understand the difficulties in taking initial steps to uncover denial Intimate details of how many stay straight and sober Gain a new perspective about our national addiction population Learn why that Something More means so much to so many What happens when the addict or alcoholic loses their battle How you can help Praise for Tales of Addiction "This inspiring and penetrating new book by Dr. Barbara Sinor shows us how we gather the courage and the force of will to make a transformational change." --Mark Thurston, PhD, author Willing to Change: The Journey of Personal Transformation "Like a tapestry, this book works by holding the reader's interest with unique tales smoothly interwoven with both a spiritual and intellectual thought process." --Bill Ford, Addiction Recovery Blog "Filled with stories of heroic struggle, victory and defeat, it is both illuminating and inspiring. The book is intensely personal yet sadly universal, the stories recounted are for anyone touched by the trials of addiction." --Rev. Steve Doolittle, Astara, author From the Heart: Five Minute Inspirations "These heart-wrenching and ultimately heartwarming stories, provide the inspiration for each one of us to know that recovery works." --Ken Seeley, PhD, host of Intervention 911, author, Face It and Fix It About the Author Barbara Sinor, Ph.D. is a Psychospiritual Therapist dealing with childhood abuse/incest, PTSD, addiction recovery, and adult children of alcoholics.
