Welcome

To Rachel's sanctuary

27th of January 2025

Welcome to the blog. My blog. This is where I want to tell you all about my little projects, my dreams and frustrations. I want to let out my opinion on some matters and just give you some possible inspiration or just for a moment want to help you feel not so alone. Because I believe in your own way, you too are trying. Trying to leave the world a better place than you found it. There are so many ways you can do this. And you don’t have to change the entire world in one go for your efforts to have meant something.

The name, Rachel’s Sanctuary is a reference to my small front- and backyard. Where I keep my chickens, plant my trees, flowers and other plants. Where I leave food for the local birds (most of which seem to live under the solar panels) and where my motorcycle lives. Yes, that’s right. This isn’t just about being clean and green but also about being human. I too try. I help the bees and try my best to fight flooding by removing more and more tiles each year but I also enjoy riding my naked bike in the summer. And I believe that’s okay.

Why I decided to do this? Because I think it’s important to try our best to save the environment. It started to annoy me that everyone wanted a concrete garden because the maintenance was easier. That people don’t try to recycle their bins because the big corporations are the problem. That the electric company is upping the costs for people with solar panels because the electrical grid can’t handle the energy. And it frustrates me. And I believe that these problems are much deeper than just “I don’t want to”. But I also believe that pushing too hard and asking people to become vegan overnight is going to make everyone that isn’t already a die-hard put their heels in the sand and stop any effort. I’m just here to tell you. I am trying too but I’m not yet ready to give up my hamburger… or motorized vehicles.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my posts and it might give you some inspiration to help out YOUR WAY.
