Lady Rougepen Says: Fall in Love with Cupidity

Cupidity means an “intense desire for material things, or greed.” Example: The theme of the 1980s was cupidity and hubris.

The root of that word, “Cupid,” is derived from the god of love in Roman mythology (Eros in Greek mythology). The winged god who shot arrows into hearts was god’s Ares and Aphrodite’s son. He used to be portrayed as an Adonis type with 6-pack abs, but the prim Victorians gave him a makeover, as a cuddly, baby.

Lady Rougepen Says: Rubicund Makes Me Blush

The word of today is rubicund. It means “reddish” or rosy. Example: Not using sunscreen leaves you with a rubicund complexion if you’re fair.

This word has roots in 15th-century Latin. This word holds a special place in my heart because red is my favorite color! I guess you could figure that out though.

 

I’m pleased to announce the release of my 8th book, Skoll’s Diary.

Africans and African Americans left Earth in 1900, and went to another planet in The Milky Way to escape mistreatment…

It’s now the year 3005 on that terraformed planet. We get a peek into the life of a bright and sensitive teenaged boy, Skoll, through his journal. He loves his world, but is curious about life on Earth. Then suddenly, an epic event casts him in the middle of a difficult decision.  The fate of the planet’s community is in his hands.

Get the book here. I’d appreciate your leaving a review if you read it. Thanks in advance!

Lady Rougepen Says: Meet Metanoia

The word of today is metanoia. It’s a noun that means “an awakening or epiphany.” Example: My dentist finding three cavities on my last visit was a metanoia that I should cut back on sugar.

“Meta” (Greek) means change. And “noia” means thought. It literally means, “change of thought.” It’s a sister to the word “paranoia,” which loosely means “abnormal thought.”
