“Faaahhhhhh-k-seeeee!” Thalia flirts and flits with a brush and a toothpick.
“Fabled —” Nia engages an online investigation, “— with a dual nature.”
Calliope stifles a giggle. “Fantastic! Like us… a fox is multi-faceted… with a variety of tools… in its box.”
I’m not an optimist.
I’m a realist.
And my reality is that we live in a multifaceted, multicultural world.
And maybe once we stop labeling ourselves, then maybe everyone else will.
~Octavia Spencer
I’d love to be an artist that’s multifaceted.
At the moment, I am not.
But wouldn’t that be cool if I was like,
”Yeah, let me pull out my guitar and play you a song.”
I would adore that.
I am so far not gifted in that way.
But I am a very hard worker and a very determined person,
so who knows?
~Anne Hathaway
A note from LoveLetterist:
Yesterday two quotes collided in my awareness.
Robert Frost's: Education is the ability to listen almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.

John Lennon's: Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.

When we are engaged in activities we love and challenge us... following the energy... Do we become the best version of our "self"?
As Tal is in a flirtatious state of being, she might enjoy a listen to Jimi Hendrix’ “Foxy Lady?” Please don’t send this fox to England! Fox hunts being such a part of its history...
Are your Muse companions enjoying the adventure at the bookstore? I see a chance that Tal considers such a destination as watching paint dry! I used to enjoy thumbing through the Dewey Decimal cards in high school and college. A great activity to form thumb callouses. 🙃
On a more serious note, I appreciated Anne Hathaway saying, I am so far not gifted in that way. Followed by her describing herself as hard working. If we say instead, “I can’t”, that will be our reality. From her success as an actor (her choice of words) I’ll guess she rarely thought, “I can’t.”
The fox you’ve drawn suggests a soft, snuggly toy a young child might enjoy. Given that, we’ve hardly scratched the surface of the 25 Foxy Facts!
