“It is a pleasure to write this short note in total support of LOG OFF: The Practical Guide to Vacation Therapy. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen patients in my private offices who have lost site of the need for 'down time'; to LOG OFF. In so doing, they achieve lower blood pressures, and better blood test results. They can sometimes do away with anti-depressant medications and reduce dosing of other pills for BP, stress and anxiety. Many a patient returns to my office after such “prescribed” trips and shake my hand for recommending such a drug-free alternative to their health care needs. As a physician leader in the community, I know LOG OFF will lead to better health outcomes for patients and more efficient and effective work by employees nationwide.”

“I think you’re on to something exciting and important, and I endorse LOG OFF. As a couple and family psychologist who has written and presented widely on the topic of time, work, and couple/family life, I know that unless couples and families set aside regular times for reconnection, their busy schedules – even on vacations – often preempt relaxed and invigorating time together. But quite aside from the issue of maintaining personal and relationship health and our productivity, vacations are important so that we do not live a life defined only by our responsibilities. Vacations allow people opportunities to reinvent themselves and enjoy life more fully than when stuck unvaryingly to their regular routines.”

"I heartily endorse Danna Quinn's marvelous LOG OFF system. Using the language of the computer revolution, she offers a way to help all of us understand why vacations are a necessity for our health and families, not a luxury, and how the time taken for vacation can help us bring our lives into balance and joy in many other ways. LOG OFF makes a real contribution in helping Americans understand what people in other rich countries have known for a long time: vacation matters, and we are poorer when we don't have enough of it. LOG OFF is a must for a happier, healthier America!"

“My wife, Marian, and I attended ReDefining sessions at the Barnes & Noble bookstore in Washington, DC hosted by Danna Quinn. It was a delightful and enlightening experience. We enjoyed the company and conversations of a diverse group – professionals, university students, moms and retirees, as well as visitors from other countries. The discussions were thought-provoking, honest, at times humorous, and often spirited. As a professional diplomat and former U.S. Ambassador to Argentina, I like to think that I understand the critical importance of communication and cultural awareness. In this regard, I believe "LOG OFF: The Practical Guide to Vacation Therapy" will be an exceptional tool for promoting a constructive global conversation and a memorable cultural exchange experience. As importantly, I believe a positive personal connection with individuals improves the overall value of any organization or business. It is my considered opinion that LOG OFF is and will be effective in meeting these important objectives.”

Self-Exposed can help an individual explore the self to encourage self-empowerment. As a result of your thorough knowledge of the subject and your infectious enthusiasm, counselors left the morning workshop with new insight about themselves!

As an engineer my day for the most part focuses on the technological aspect of life, sometime setting aside the human factors that are so important to full success and feel successful. I have found the exercise of ReDefining transform into my daily routine of thinking as it adds creativity to my work and improves the final result. During my full career in Aerospace with NASA, I have participated in many courses and seminars with a personal development objective. The ReDefining workshops promote these human factors and inspire interaction with a full range of diversity that allows everyone to feel the value in personal growth.

I find ReDefining to be a powerful tool for individuals as they reassess their values in a rapidly changing world. We are now, more than ever, a global community – it is vital for each of us to know ourselves and strive to comprehend all others. ReDefining initiates this effort.

This letter is to express my sincerest thanks for bringing the Self-Exposed program to Annandale High School. It is rare that a program produces change in high school students. I can truly say that students were affected personally and deeply. Students stated to me that their sense of self-awareness was enhanced and that they were able to see themselves in a completely different way. Students found a simple, yet profound way to express their feelings and goals. The entire day was time well spent for students and staff members. I hope that we will be able to use Self-Exposed in the future, and that it can become a permanent part of our curriculum in several disciplines.
