September 11th - Barbara Ann Kipfer
and
Barbara Ann Kipfer, author of 14,000 things to be happy about and Instant Karma .
We hope you can join us to talk about her books and remember
the simple things that make each of us happy as we
remember the attacks of September 11th, ten years ago.
From an original small spiral notebook which Barbara started writing in sixth grade (1966). "I carried it with me, noting things that brought happiness to me or others. One notebook became two, then multiplied, got bigger, eventually turned into computer files and, 20 years later, became the book, 14,000 things to be happy about. I still keep a notebook of things to be happy about and the list has grown to more than 130,000 things".
Barbara holds a PhD and MPhil in Linguistics (University of Exeter), a PhD in Archaeology (Greenwich University), an MA (Greenwich University) and PhD in Buddhist Studies (Akamai University), and BS in Physical Education (Valparaiso University). Dr. Kipfer is the lexicographer for Federated Media Publishing. She has worked for such companies as Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com, Answers.com, Ask Jeeves, Bellcore/Telcordia, General Electric Research, IBM Research, idealab, Knowledge Adventure, and Wolfram|Alpha. Barbara is also a Registered Professional Archaeologist.
