Cherie...can you write that sign without any Movement Symbols for us?  
What is your beginning and ending positions? That will tell us  
immediately which symbol to use ;-))

And that is a way to help yourself when writing too...

Write the beginning and ending positions and figure out what movement  
symbol would get you from one position to the next ;-)

And you are right, Adam, that if Cherie's fingers really start  
pointing towards her chest, then that would require a Traveling  
Rotation down, and that would be a change in palm facing, but I guess  
I just chose palm facing chest from the beginning to make it easier,  
as you said above...

smile...
