editing English for non-native speakers by Janice Nigro A considerable number of my friends and work colleagues are not from English speaking countries. And I love to travel. Foreign language or English with an accent is part of my daily life. When I meet someone from a non-English speaking country, I immediately engage in foreign... Continue Reading →
The silent retreat by Janice Nigro A conversation between two way cooler than me California women about a type of retreat where there is no conversation-a silent retreat-and I immediately recognized a parallel in my own world-scuba diving. That’s scuba diving, I shouted out without hesitation, and suddenly I gained respect as more than... Continue Reading →
Cuckcoo for coco loco by Janice Nigro I was creeping around the grocery store looking for my food fix…if you can believe it, it was for a yogurt. How did this happen, that I was looking both ways before stepping into the dairy aisle to casually put 10 Chobani flip Almond Coco Loco yogurt into... Continue Reading →

The pink city by Janice Nigro There is nothing like a personal tour of a city especially in a foreign country.You will get to the best restaurants or events without having to work at it, and in the local language. I did not do my homework for my brief tour to Toulouse, France, after some... Continue Reading →
Driving in LA with the GPS woman by Janice Nigro I do not have a car, and I live in Los Angeles. Everything happens in cars here, and the total number of hours you spend in a car just to get to work is not something you really want to calculate. Visiting friends are somewhat... Continue Reading →

Everything happens in cars here, and the total number of hours you spend in a car just to get to work is not something you really want to calculate. Visiting friends are somewhat incredulous...

A little bit of bragging but more because of the company that my photograph is in. The other photographers win often and for good reason. I took this photo on the reef surrounding Panglao Island in Bohol, the Philippines. It was I have to say a photo of one of the most humble looking creatures under... Continue Reading →
