Steno & Ballet: Part 2
Ballerina Misty Copeland describe her study of dance in a manner that I can relate to the process of mastering steno:
“As I always say, there is no shortcut in ballet technique. You repeat and repeat to get whatever you are trying to master to become second nature, for it to become as instinctive as walking. Then you can start to run.” -Misty Copeland

Steno & Ballet: Part 1
Ballerina Misty Copeland describe her study of dance in a manner that I can relate to the process of mastering steno:
“All these years later, my technique is very secure, clean, and strong. Yet I still go to ballet classes daily. Dancers understand. It’s because, while we know we’ll never achieve perfection, we have to keep trying. Dancers have to keep studying, practicing, and striving until the day they retire.
It’s what makes ballet so beautiful, that razor’s edge of timing and technique that is the difference between leaping and landing perfectly, or collapsing to the floor…
‘You’re still taking ballet class?’ a childhood friend once asked me incredulously,
The question used to make me weary. But no more.
‘Yes,’ I answered. ‘I’ll be taking ballet classes forever.'” -Misty Copeland

Steno Foodie: Plant Sources For Iron
Iron is an essential nutrient that can help boost energy. According to www.Health.com, approximately 10% of women between 20 and 49 years of age are iron deficient.
The health source states that iron deficiency can lead to fatigue, both mentally and physically. The website also states that, “Great plant sources of iron include beans, lentils, spinach, and sesame seeds; eating them with vitamin C-rich foods can boost iron absorption.”
Personally, from time to time. I like to have a small meal of spinach for a late afternoon snack. I saute my spinach with coconut oil with minced garlic.
Love, Speed & Accuracy,

Rules Of Grammar: Gray vs. Grey
For the most part, gray spelled with an “a” is more commonly used in American English (think “a” for “American”). Grey, spelled with an “e” is said to be more commonly used in the English language outside of the United States. Both of the words have the same meaning although they are spelled differently.
According to the website Grammarist, “In the U.K… grey appears about twenty times for every instance of gray. In the U.S. the ratio is reversed.”
Grammarist also points out a couple of exceptions to the words being interchangeable, “Greyhound, for the breed of dog, always has an e, while grayling, which refers to several types of fish, always has an a.”
