Russell and Beckie Forsyth
have been married over thirty years and have two sons from
previous marriages. From these sons, they share four
grandchildren and families all over Texas and the United
States. So a big part of his life has been involved in
raising a family, therefore Russell believes that he is your
average American citizen.
Russell is a carpenter by
trade and has been doing remodeling and repairs for the past
thirty years. In 2005, Russell and Beckie’s company
completed a two year historic restoration in the Central
Austin area that won the Merit Award for Restoration that
was given by the Heritage Society of Austin. The award was a
crowning achievement for his life long love for old houses.
Russell has always been
interested in music and is an accomplished singer
songwriter. His main instrument was the guitar until the
late eighties when Beckie conspired with a friend to borrow
Russell’s twelve string guitar, only to return it on his
birthday as a Mandocello. An instrument maker converted the
instrument. The mandocello is the original bass sound
instrument that compliments the mandolin. It has been
referred to as the “instrument of the angels” like the harp.
This provides a unique sound and format that Russell uses to
present his music. His first CD was released in 2005 and is
titled “A Prayer for You”.
His second CD just been released, "One
Thing", music dedicated to the power of love.
In April 2006, Russell
attended a certification program for the purpose of self
healing. On that weekend, Russell went from award winning
Contractor to an ANGEL THERAPY PRACTITIONER®. Then in
February 2007, Russell returned to California for another
certification in the area of Mediumship.
Since the April event,
Russell has invented a
crystal healing bed,
written one book, Mariposa,
and has another started, is holding various workshops, has
been invited to do speaking engagements as well as working
on his start up practice for Angel therapy and Mediumship.
Russell has now embraced
his role as a healer and is excited to offer his services in
this new area of his life. If there was a mission statement
for Russell and Beckie, it would be ease suffering, bring
joy and create beauty.
