Do You Wonder Who Chose Your OLW?

"[People] changed because they were embedded in social groups that made change easier. (p. 88)" Duhigg, Power off Habit

As I've been catching up on blog reading in the last week I've noticed many people posting about their One Little Word which I believe was started by Ali Edwards. I've also started to realize that often bloggers have the same word as someone on another blog. For example, I have chosen the word DISCOVER and, as luck would have it, so has my friend Julie.

 I'd love to put together a post that groups bloggers with like words so they can support and inspire one another. If you're interested in joining this round-up, please leave your link to OLW post here or send it to me in a tweet by Saturday, January 10th. My hope is to have it posted on 1-11 ---- seems to make sense to post about the ONE word on 1-11.

Hope to share your word soon!

    What a fun idea. I've thought about writing them down on a list, just to keep track, but this is better. Thanks Cathy. My OLW is posted today. http://www.teacherdance.org/2014/01/okay-it-wandered-in.html

    I believe it was Allie Edwards who started it. But way back when, there was a One Little Word blog that was devoted to celebrating words all year long. Not sure what happened to it.

    Alas, here's the link to my word, which is promise, http://twowritingteachers.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/promise2014/. Thanks for creating this round-up!

      Jennifer,
      I was unable to link to your word. Do you happen to have a Twitter link or blog link so other's can support you in your new word?
