As part of the refresh that the new year begins, many in the #sachat and #wlsalt communities (and beyond) have chosen to forego resolutions and instead, choose one word that will guide their 2012.
Last year, I made a small attempt to collect the choices that people made for #oneword2011. This year, in trying to live my one word of Push and with a little help from a hashtag and a late-to-the-game Google doc, I have collected the choices of 200 people. This makes me ridiculously happy, which I think fits in my monthly theme of Positivity. So, in order to push some positivity, here are your #oneword2012 choices:
What an amazing collection of hopes and plans for the new year. You all inspire me, and I look forward to how your #oneword2012 choices will guide your throughout the year. Keep us posted!
If by chance I missed your word choice (and perhaps a related blog post), please add to the Google Doc.

Thank you so much for collecting and sharing this list Niki! It’s a great way to connect with others who have your word. As part of my plan to Celebrate this year, it gives me a reference point of blogs, cards, videos, and quotes that might be helpful to people (based on their one word choices). Thanks for pushing us

Niki, what a vibrant & creative way to showcase all of the words! Thank you for putting this together. I am tempted to print this image as the back of a post card and use it as thank you notes to the outstanding members of our profession and #oneword2012 community who contribute so much…. I think your creativity & positivity is rubbing off!

Very awesome! I printed it to hang in my office– I enjoy seeing all the words that were selected. It reminds me every day to find ways to support and challenge others to reach their goals. And I LOVE that someone chose “Shipoopi” as their word– it makes me smile and hear the song in my head
Thanks for doing this!

I have printed your words and have it hanging on my buletin board and a copy in my briefcase – I love it – so simple and all teh words just roll of your lips as you read through them – POSITIVITY (positvely) the greatest non resolution I have seen!

Thanks Niki! I love the color scheme and font you chose for this! I’ve set the image as the background on the computer in my office so I’ll be sure to see my word and others everyday.
