My name is Todd Patterson. I had Gulf War Syndrome and

was plagued with many symptoms. I had no ener-gy, was pale and swollen, and in terrible pain. I had often considered ending my life because the pain was unbearable. Janet and I have been friends for a while. She had been

trying to get me to Reno for quite some time to de-

tox my body.Finally convinced, I ar-

rived at the Circle of Life Spa for my first of many wraps, sauna sessions, and massages. I had some difficult and emotional periods as my body detoxed. Janet worked on changing my diet to encourage an alkaline en-vironment which promotes health and healing. Janet and Carla were right there supporting me through it all.

After 2 weeks, the 3 of us stood in the foyer of the spa hugging and crying as I prepared to go home, a healthy man. I never thought I would be pain free, yet here I stood feeling amazing. My swelling was gone and I looked vibrant be-cause I had color and energy. Most importantly, I no longer felt pain. I was a vision of health that none of us had seen in quite a while.

Today, my wife and I are adopting a baby girl from China. I can be the father I want to be be-cause I am healthy. I thank Janet and Carla for giving so much of themselves to help me heal.

Independent by nature, Frog’s Leap ismaking “leaps and bounds” beyondproducingorganicwines,tobeasustain-able farmandgreen-building leader intheNapaValley.JohnWilliams,ownerandwinemaker,foundedFrog’sLeapin1981afterearningaMastersinEnologyandViticulture from theUniversity ofCalifornia,Davis.

Success is not a destination, it is ajourney.Itisthedirectioninwhich

How to measure Success

I have learned over the years thatpeople around theworld identify eightfactorswithsuccess.Weallwanttobehappy, healthy, reasonably prosperousand secure, to have friends, peace ofmind,goodfamilyrelationshipsandhope
