I do that everyday in my office, on the phone, or at a Rehab in Malibu.&nbsp; Lately I realize that working with my clients is what inspires me to do everything else I do.&nbsp; I want to inspire and spread the message of hope, healing, and letting people know truly The Law of Attraction works.&nbsp; If you put out the energy it takes to be whatever you dream to be, something will come back to you.&nbsp; It may not be what you expected, but it will show up at the right time that is for sure.&nbsp; It has for me and that is what inspired me to write my book, the &#8220;Law of Sobriety&#8221;.&nbsp; What you put out in the universe in your recovery and reaching your greatest desires, will be attracted back to you in a form that is truly meant for you, only you.&nbsp; Once you find your true purpose and what you are here to do on this planet, you&nbsp; will finally understand the power of the Law of Attraction. <\/p>\n<p>Sherry Gaba, LCSW, Psychotherapist and Life Coach is in private practice in Agoura and works with clients by phone all over the world.&nbsp;
