3 days ago, she posted a very PRETTY, interesting pik of the many colorful doors she photographed while visiting Tallinn. (from her IG, 3 days ago) " Being a documenter, I ended up snapping pictures of lots of doors around Tallinn. I envisioned putting them all together on a print ... which I did. It was actually a freebie on my blog back in the day. But I never displayed the print myself. Just never got around to it after ensuring others who were interested were able to have the gift."---------------------------------------------------------------------------- My question: What do you think of that last sentence?

It's like people who help in hurricane clean up, wearing bright yellow shirts, and want everyone to know who they are rather than quietly serving.
ETA: The article is from 2017 and the t-shirts say Mormon.

I briefly looked at her Instagram, and did not get far. Editing words is a good thing.

Her post about repelling, I really want to post that shit attracts flies too. I just went through many of her posts, and didn't see anything about repelling. I had HOPED for more piks/ stories from the highly-touted Marriage retreat that she and Becky squared hosted last weekend, but so far, just one pik and no deets. GUYS.....those couples just look SOOO happy!! Guys, I sure wish my DH and I could have attended !!! Oh wow, GUYS----I wonder if they gave out some notebooks, too! **I'd LOVE to know how many times the words "intentional", "transparent", and "cultivate" were used during the marriage thing !!!!!!

Since this topic often discusses religion (well, mostly Mormonism) and has several Utah-based participants, I thought it'd be the right spot to promote Lucien Greaves coming to Provo, UT at Utah Valley University on Friday April 17th ( An Evening with Satan). He'll be speaking twice (3PM and 5PM). Tickets are free! He's a first amendment hero, incredible spokesperson for secularism and respect, leader of nontheistic "religion" (openly for the tax-exempt status ) that does amazing things like the Satan After School clubs to counter and offer a secular alternative to the ever-growing Christian Good News Clubs, the Protect Children initiative, so many symbolic stands to show the extent of hold of Christianism in public life in the USA, so many funny events as well (like the Pink Mass over the grave of the mother of the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church). This is all about promoting the importance of secularism in public life and public schools because it's the healthy foundation to build on. I can't recommend going to listen to him speak enough if you can. Anyone is welcome. This is absolutely *not* for members of the Satanic Temple. If you value humanism, you'll find a kindred soul in Greaves. If you can't but are still interested to hear what he has to say, don't hesitate to look him up on YouTube. If you've heard about the lawsuits initiated by the Satanic Temple but don't really understand the why or how of those, I recommend his The Satanic Temple and the Law talk at the University of Chicago Law School (Hobby Lobby mention!). In this talk, Lucien talks about mental health (dissociative identity disorder, repressed memories and how licensed mental health professionals contributed to the Satanic Panic that happened in Canada an the US in the 1980S as well as discredited mental health therapies still practiced today). If you have no clue about the Satanic Temple, here's a decent, short introduction. Hold up, sleepingbooty . You're bring up Satan on a thread about Becky Higgins? Won't that get her an automatic reprimand from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Braggarts and Contract Shirkers?!

I know MANY of you do NOT look at her Instagram posts, and....I totally understand why! I only started looking at her posts semi-recently after reading a lot of the stuff I see on this thread. I've never FOLLOWED her, and had never heard of Project Life or any of the other things until I found this thread. I DID love her books and her Creating Keepsakes columns back in the day, and my friends and I even joked and would chant silly things like " all hail Beckkkyyyy!" (just for FUN---we weren't really crazy! LOL!) But that was years ago. ANYHOOO..... 3 days ago, she posted a very PRETTY, interesting pik (WAY more interesting than those silly notebook covers---ugh! ) of the many colorful doors she photographed while visiting Tallinn. (from her IG, 3 days ago) " Being a documenter, I ended up snapping pictures of lots of doors around Tallinn. I envisioned putting them all together on a print ... which I did. It was actually a freebie on my blog back in the day. But I never displayed the print myself.

I think Becky has an overinflated ego. Becky Higgins likes to pretend that she serves us but she needs to remember her PAYING customers actually are those serving HER. They were the people who helped fund her Higgins Home. But it’s the same message all of her sponsors give, so maybe it’s just something that runs in her circle. “Called to make this swimwear.” “Makeup to serve you” Blah, Blah, Blah.

More "be nice to me, guys!" passive-aggressiveness from BH on Instagram. Her post from an hour ago: "What if I told you that the recorded legacy that represents you as a person, was going to based entirely on your social media activity? This book will be passed down for generations. Now, of course this isn’t entirely the case … but walk through this mental exercise with me for a moment, before you continue scrolling. On those pages inside the book would be a record of everything you posted, every account you followed, everything you double-tapped, every comment you made, and every DM you sent. Would these things represent you in a way that you’d want to be represented in a book that is your legacy? Are you proud of this legacy? Are you lifting others, or are you looking for ways to criticize, demean, and belittle?Are you expressing your support when the opportunities arise, or are you focused on expressing disappointment? Are your actions and your words based in kindness and respect, or are you relishing in contention?I want to be sure I am keeping myself in check, and I invite you to do the same. Let’s be a little more kind + gentle + compassionate + forgiving + patient + supportive online. Our activity here is VERY MUCH a part of who we are, and this space is a great opportunity to show up in our truest character. Our online and social media activity IS a part of our legacy, guys. It really is. Let’s take care to be intentional about this legacy. #BHCultivateAGoodLife" BLECH!!! I do NOT need anyone telling me how to behave, or to 'be nice' online. I am a grown woman, and do not need a lecture from anyone on how I should be nicer. (what happened to being 'authentic' ?? Is that not okay any more?? lol!!)

Support when opportunities arise? Um, what? I'll buy a notebook if I need one and it will be at Dollar Tree. They actually have some really cute mini ones with quite durable covers! I don't have the budget for bed stuff, make up, and whatever else you are currently promoting.

I'm a woman in her late 20s with a job that pays only slightly over minimum wage, after graduating college a few years "late," whose bedroom is in her dad's finished attic because renting a room in her city is way too expensive for her salary. I'm hoping to be out and living with roommates by the end of the year, but getting paid what I do makes saving hard - which is why I haven't left yet. But I'm making progress, and I know of tons of other people around my age who are in the same predicament.
I don't have what I would call a "legacy." I'm happily childfree by choice, so there won't be a generation to pass a legacy on to even if I had one to speak of - at least not biologically. You know what? I'm FINE with that. I'm an average person living an average life, like MILLIONS of others. My friends and loved ones can share stories about me after I'm gone but I do not live my life scared about whether or not whatever I have "intentionally cultivated" is good enough. That sounds incredibly stressful and I'm okay to bow out of that mindset. Life is stressful enough as it is.

I have no reason to call her out on social media considering I chose not to follow her a long time ago because I find her not authentic and my interest in her always ended at scrapbooking products, but this hand-slapping is uncalled for. She has gotten some honest, straight-forward advice from people who where most likely past consumers and wanted to be future consumers, yet she does this ridiculous dance with honesty, totally spinning her own version of the truth that is so self-centered!! WHY does she have as many followers as she does? BLECH, social media influencers are really starting to grate on me...totally the opposite of so many on social media that are genuine and share ideas; I so appreciate them!!

I always feel it’s such a pile on, not that I haven’t participated myself. And being a normal compassionate human being, I wonder if we’re being assholes. And then I think back and, yeah, we kinda are, but I don’t feel sorry at all. She’s so incredibly delusional. If she’d just stop reading here, she wouldn’t get her feelings hurt.
I don’t think I want to live in a world where people only say nice things. Stuff festers, some people need to called out on their bullshit. Criticism CAN be constructive. Snark can be a beautiful thing.

I feel that this thread is a place to vent our frustrations, and yes it may get a bit too snarky at times, it's good to have a place to get things out and discuss what's going on. If you're going to make yourself a public figure with such a high online presence, people are going to talk. It just might not always be the words you want to receive. Most people would reflect on why these things are being said, but the stubbornness is incredible.

Hell I cried like a little baby in sea world last week because of a struggle my child was having and it hit me all over again that he’s going to have struggles his entire life. And I cried. And people saw but I had to get it out. I get so sick of this “must always be positive” Schtick bloggers get on. I’m a very positive person despite my own troubles but sometimes I yell, sometimes I cry, sometimes I take a shot of hard liquor. And I’ve been known to tell people on Facebook to go fuck themselves when arguing about lgbtq stuff. That’s my social media legacy. I’m going to be the same person online as I am in real life. I’m me. I don’t need someone telling me who to be.

I thought you were going to say “what if I told you you spend entirely too much time online and posting to social media?” What if I told you longer, wordy books aren’t really the best ones, and brevity is the soul of wit? Her “legacy book” is tl;dr.

Also her legacy is stored right here on 2peas where she went off and put down a follower.
So if anyone needs to worry about her legacy, look in the mirror Becky.

Someone else did too: me. Me responding to the other poster: yep. I’m not sure why she’s so concerned with how the rest of us behave considering how she herself behaves. Preaching at us doesn’t rewrite the past.

Snark can be a beautiful thing. At times, I do feel sorry for her. Especially with her last post. I see her religious upbringing shining through. Ignore the truth if it's hurtful. Doubt your doubts. Don't question. Tow the line. Never cause contention.
If it's true she's reading this thread, I want to say you can question, you can research, you do not have to fit into a tiny model to be happy. In fact the opposite will happen; anxiety, depression, and a host of other problems. Constructive criticism is okay. Acknowledge your short comings and apologize. It's all about progress and learning.
The part I can't relate to is her privileged upbringing.

Here's another response to her post. tracieclaiborne @kristavang1 good for you. I am perpetually amazed at how seldom others stand up for someone who is being slandered and persecuted online. If it happened in person, I believe most people would jump to someone’s defense more readily but online bullies make people cower in fear of retribution.
