"Exquisite! How so like Barbara Sinor to use her time in rehab to delve inside herself to explore and expand her soul journey as her body heals, and then to share the treasure she unearths with the world. Inspirational Musings is to be savored page by page, insight by insight, bit of wisdom by bit of wisdom. Enjoy!"
Anita Rosenfield, Ph.D., author Flame: a cautionary tale"Recovery from emotional, physical, or spiritual trauma can overwhelm even the strongest among us; yet it can be an unprecedented opportunity for our personal growth. Inspirational Musings: Insights Through Healing is a treasure trove of elegant, gen­tle, and wise passages written by Dr. Barbara Sinor while undergoing her own rehabilitation. Poetic, profound, and powerful, Inspirational Musings is not only a must for anyone going through a challenging recovery, but can also benefit those of us who yearn to connect with the awe, magnificence, and meaning of life."
Carlyn Montes De Oca, M.T.O.M, L.Ac, author Dog as My Doctor, Cat as My Nurse"Dr. Sinor's Inspirational Musings is a joyous book­let filled with a sense of arousing spiritual awaren­ess. Read it on-the-go; read it for a medita­tion; read for reflection. Petite in volume, vast in mind­fulness Barbara's poetic words penetrate one's consciousness to grasp both insight and emo­tion. Turn to this healing booklet each time you need inspiration!"
Chelle Thompson, Editor-at-Large"Inspirational Musings is a beautiful, compassionate com­panion book, a precious gem to be used as a life­line on those gloomy days when one needs a boost. This work offers poignant musings for those going through any kind of emotional and physical trauma, offering insight and strength. Inspirational Musings is a soft and poignant reminder that we must grieve at our own rate, slow down, practice mind­fulness and compassion, enjoy nature, and allow life to un­fold. Sinor's wisdom and kindness illum­inate every page. She reminds us that while sufferi­ng is a part of life's journey, love and compass­ion are our higher pow­ers. The book is a heart-warmer, and a reminder that heal­ing, no matter what kind, is a form of awaken­ing. This book is a blessing to whoever picks it up and deserves to be read over and over again."
