As we closed out 2011 Becca Obergefell(@oberbecca) posted her thoughts on her #oneword2011 and encouraged the #wlsalt #sachat twitter community who participated to share.  Now we’ve moved into 2012 Niki Rudolph (@Nikirudolph) is gathering all your #oneword2012 to put into a wordle on Friday. You can see all the amazing words that have already been selected by following the hashtag #oneword2012 or check out the NEW Google doc -linked below.   While the words have come easily for some still others are working to find their word.  Here are some thoughts to assist you as you discover your word.
