Be the Twig is a philosophy for living that resulted from a life spent searching for truth. Despite being a good person, I was very unhappy inside. I felt that even though I did everything right and played by the rules, I was not getting the rewards I deserved. So I began reading every book on religion and spirituality that I could find and slowly a spark of enlightenment began to grow in me. I saw that I was part of a larger whole, and as such everything in the universe was interconnected. I still did not feel contentment, but I saw that in the bigness of my new understanding the possibility existed. After much more living I was blessed by grace with a thought, an enlightenment that as suddenly as it came to me provided the answer I was seeking. It was a fantastic awakening, and from that moment on, my life has changed. Be the Twig and its ten truths are reminders for living based upon the knowledge I gained through this awakening, the knowledge that true happiness is your birthright.
