Welcome to Lemonindi land

A note on the title: “Me Lemon” was the childhood nickname given to me by my little brother, Andy, who could not pronounce my name when he was a toddler. It stuck. Everyone in my family calls me Me Lemon or just Lemon. When I went to India, I added “indi” and became Lemonindi. So, I am Lemonindi at Flickr, my yahoo mail address is Lemonindi and on various other Internet sites and services. As far as I know, I am the only Lemonindi on the Internet.

Welcome to my blog. As I explain on the page “About BreatheDreamGo,” the name says it all. It’s a mantra, it summarizes my own experience, and it’s a formula for others to follow.

I took from the time I start seeking in 1993 to the day I landed in India in 2005 before I began to connect with and live my dreams. In India, I fell in love — with the culture, the spiritual traditions, the people and the land. India inspired me to become the writer I feel I was always destined to be and propelled me a long on my yoga jounrey. I now feel that my purpose is to share the beauty of India’s rich culture and ancient wisdom with the world.

This blog is a way for me to explore and share what I love and what I’ve learned.

But I also want to help others connect with their dreams and find out the joy and power of living with that kind of inner source. This blog is my first step; eventually I want to create on online community.

I welcome comments, I want to know about your blogs, and all I ask is that you keep it lemony clean.

    Glad you’re blogging again. I’ve done it on and off now since 2006. No delusions of grandeur for me, either, just the thought that the little bits of “wisdom” I write there, primarily to remind myself of them, might be of use or help to someone else, too.

    I especially appreciated your comments on acceptance that provides the support that people need to change. This is the springboard that I use in all my work as a healer. It makes for some amazing things to witness.

  • Every human is important. I am a white Doc is a small southern town. When we built my office it was right next to a black neighborhood.

    When we did the groundbreaking the newspaper came out. All these folks, mostly white guys, were milling around. I noticed three black men sitting by the sidewalk taking it all in. Not a single human being went over to speak to them, so I went by.

    “You guys live round here?”

    “Right down the street.”

    “My name is Tommy Bibey, pleased to meet you.” I stuck out my hand, and we shook. I went on. “I know what you are thinking- “God, there goes the neighborhood.”

    They all cracked up. I did worry a bit about how it might impact an old established district, but it all worked out.

    I don’t know the origin of your name, but one of friends in my book is a guy named Indie Jenkins. He was flawed, but a hero to me.
