Hello! In case you couldn't know from my cleverly named website, I'm Elizabeth Bourgeret. I am an author, a blogger, a podcast host, a momma, a Grammy and a full-time traveler.
I have written several books, both fiction and non-fiction and am the creator of the Lavender Letters subscription series. (A whole NEW way to read a book!)
I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO, I've traveled to many of the United States, by truck and camper and look forward to checking them all off my list. I love visiting and photographing beautiful places, meeting new people, rediscovering history and sharing my experiences with the world. I am always deep into historical research of some kind, usually around where I am parked at the moment. I love seeing historical places and then doing a deep dive of history all around it.
I love traveling from campsite to campsite experiencing everything this country has to offer up close and personal. I share what I learn and my adventures through my blogs and Bag of Bones Podcast, enjoying the places, the people and the history along every mile.
I am happiest when I'm out on the open road, I love offering historical tours or story-telling opportunities wherever I go and creating "nourishing fiction" in my downtime.
If you - love camping, coffee, reading, collecting books, nature and visiting museums - love to live every day to its fullest and explore ways for new or continued growth and happiness, or - just can't get enough of American history or thought it was dumb when you were younger, and - are grateful for each and every day you wake up...
...I'm pretty sure we can be friends. I would be so happy for you to join this inner circle of mine as we deal with this crazy thing called life as best we can. (Which means escaping into adventures, convening with God through nature and seeing what's around the next bend!) Connecting with like-minded people as I travel this great nation has given me memories and blessings to last a lifetime. My goal is continue to create more, and leave a legacy of love behind me.

The Ginger Life Blog is more of a personal space and is where I do most of my "coaching" through my Leading with Love series. The Ginger Life Travel Blog is all about my travels and adventures. Places I go, tourist traps, historic sites, museums, food, and all the details in case you want to go too! Beyond the Bones is my history blog. It's sometimes an extension of the Bag of Bones Podcast. Sometimes it's interesting tidbits of history that I just couldn't wait to share.
(I do apologize- I intend to blog so much more than I do. I have so many photos and stories that need a home, but I also have books to write and I get completely side-tracked with all kinds of new plans and ideas. Lol! Such is the life of a creative.)
If you love the dark side of American History- You can search the Bag of Bones Podcast by topic to find something to be curious about... (All links go to Spotify, a free platform that does not require membership. I am working on getting the episodes here, on the website- but that is proving to be quite laborious! A work in progress to say the least! Thank you for your patience in advance!)
