Breathe Now 2012: It’s Ok to Build Community
This is a semi-liveblog of Day 2 of Breathe Now. While I am attending "It’s Ok to Build Community", I am also including a number of tweets from the other 2 sessions, "It’s Ok to Love the Way You Move" and "It’s Ok to Love Your Body As Is".

RT @hummingbird604: When you’re building community it’s important to have an open heart and open mind – Carolyne Taylor #BreatheYYJcaroline
Our Keynote Speaker for Day 2, and a dear friend, Bif Naked, is excited about Breathe Now, as much as we all are, those of us lucky enough to participate.

At @Breathe_Now, listening to @scatteredmom talk about building community. http://vsb.li/o1PeGy #breatheyyjKatharine Holmes
RT @FlygirlWS: Fourth and final session starting…. It’s ok to build community. #BreatheYYJ #breathenowjanniaragon
Karen felt validated about the fact that the decisions she made were actually the right decisions for her child. You have to stand up for what you believe in, because other people likely feel the same way or have gone through the same thing.
When you build community, I think you need to know who you are – @scatteredmom #BreatheYYJ @Breathe_NowRaul Pacheco
And then Karen contacted Jamie Oliver and he responded and asked “HOW?” – yeah, so how do you make Jaime Oliver happen in North America? She began to embrace the community online, through her blog, and expressing her opinion and talking to people. All those experiences gave Karen tools. Be kind to people on social media. You never know where people are at that point in time.
Life still throws me curve balls, that make me reflect “what If I did not do that, what would I have done, would I be in the same place?“
RT @DrKimFoster: Fabulous, moving speech by @scatteredmom on building community. #breatheyyjjanniaragon

The second speaker of the It’s Ok To Build Comunity is Carolyne Taylor
@CarolyneTaylor building community everywhere around us, different things to different people #breatheyyjBreathe Now
Inspiring to hear @carolynetaylor speak about raising a child as a single parent all the while building community in #yyj #breatheyyjRaul Pacheco
Carolyne Taylor made us write about our communities, around Mind, Body, Spirit and Community.
Its one thing to find/build a community, but you have to maintain it! @CarolyneTaylor at the @Breathe_Now community panel #BreatheYYJJanice Mansfield
RT @hummingbird604: Whatever community you belong to, becomes YOUR community – @carolynetaylor – great exercise to appreciate your community #breatheyyjKatharine Holmes
How Shelley Humble created EvesTribe.com – how the online community website then became a business.
@evestribe remarked she, @CarolyneTaylor @scatteredmom opening act for @bifnaked #breatheyyj LOLBreathe Now
.@evetribe speaking on her online community http://EvesTribe.com #BreatheYYJ @breate_now http://flic.kr/p/bMFVcaRaul Pacheco
We all have the same hopes, challenges, dreams and fears says @evestribe #BreatheYYJJanice Mansfield
"We are the opening act for @bifnaked!" ~ Shelley Humble @evestribe #Breatheyyj #BreatheNowSocialMediaGirl/Chel
“Do not dismiss that feeling and emotion”. The head brain – it can process amazing information, and apply information from all over the world. It is very smart.
I’ve done great things when I don’t think – now I understand!! @evestribe described the inner voice as my own personal terrorist #breatheyyjKatherine C.
RT @hummingbird604: It’s never too late. Time is your friend. Make the most of it. It will be alright if it takes you a few years @evestribe #BreatheYYJKatharine Holmes
Surround yourself with positive people @evestribe #breatheyyjAngela Rafuse
We start with the discussion and I (Raul) ask the question – how do we use online community to deal with negative feedback.
"What you think of me is none of my business." – @carolytaylor (she can’t remember who said it) #BreatheYYJKatharine Holmes
"Don’t feed the trolls." @scatteredmom on haters. #BreatheYYJ @Breathe_NowKatharine Holmes
"What you think of me is really none of my business." -Carolyne Taylor. Love this, so liberating. #breatheyyjDr Kim Foster

Hmm. This looks really inspirational for me and I am sure the people who have read this post will come back for more..
I’ve always been wanting to attend an event like this, since I know that I would definitely learn tons of things such as loving yourself more and being positive about life, like what others had been posting on twitter. When will be the next “Breathe Now” conference? Looking forward to that. Thanks for sharing this by the way.
