What is Ethics?

November 7, 2022James Sweeney

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope that you’re all having a lovely day!

We have already covered what we mean by the term ‘Ethical Perspectives”, so I think that the perfect place to go next would be to take a look at what we mean by ‘ethics’ 🙂

The Power of Habits — Wise & Shine

October 24, 2022James Sweeney

Habits give you great power, perhaps the greatest in absolute. Sometimes we think that habits are good for ordinary people, and maybe we don’t consider ourselves ordinary people (at least I don’t consider myself like that, I have always tried to be a bit out of the status quo). We would like to get rid…

Let’s Get Hygge With It — a little cuban goes a long way

October 10, 2022James Sweeney

Hygge is all about comfort, peace, and connection, as well as kinship, nature and simplicity. It’s about a return to the basics and focusing on what’s important with an emphasis on self-care.
