About Betty

Elizabeth Sawtelle was born Elizabeth Bradshaw Haldane, daughter of Rev. Dr. Robert and Inez Elwell Haldane.  She was raised in a home filled with faith, love and joy - one that gave her an understanding of her own dedication to the Holy Trinity and yet a respect for people of all faiths.  Although she has been steadfast in her devotion to God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, she has traveled beyond the faith she first accepted to a higher spiritual level.  She's written the book The Light Within. The contents illustrate how God's gifts have lifted her beyond the physical daily routine to a deep soul searching for a better way of life.

A Note from Betty:

Ever since my high school years I have had an appreciation and fondness for poetry.  In my language arts program I often found the poems I had written were placed in the school newspaper and our school librarian encouraged me to take a course in creative writing.  I was honored when my class ode was chosen to be sung at our graduation.  Then when I was at Husson College I wrote the words to the music written by our choral director, Mr. William Cupp, which was used as the Husson College Song for many years.

Throughout my life I have continued to write poetry and I have known that the words I wrote were more often than not inspired by our creator.

I have always given thanks for this gift I humbly receive.  In 1999 I read the book Angelspeake by Barbara Mark and Trudy Griswold.  I have always believed in angels and I have felt their presence in many ways.  I began following the beautiful and encouraging ways to contact my angels and found this most rewarding.  Suddenly I began to receive messages as well as poetry.  I contacted Judy Garbow, the Angelspeake Facilitator here in Maine, and formed a friendship with her that has become very special.  This has also brought together a group of light workers, including my daughter, who meet on a regular basis and who have become a part of my very soul.

Although I have experienced some amazing times with my angels, which I explain in detail in my book The Light Within it was the winter and spring of 2006 during a critical illness that I knew my mission here was to bring both the messages and poetry to others in book form.  Feeling 'out of body' and in excruciating pain I had a vision of Christ on the Cross.  I remember saying "If you could do this for me I can heal and bring your message to others."  Thus I am holding true to my promise in publishing The Light Within. I pray the words you read there will touch both heart and soul.
