You acted on something stronger to you than sense, stronger than safety, stronger than judgment.

-- Caroline McHugh

This, according to Caroline, is what happens when you "happen on an Absolute."

She says that Absolutes are "what Martin Luther King Junior called the content of my character, and they govern every choice I make and everything I do."

What means as much to you as Love, Individuality, and Freedom to me?

-- Caroline McHugh

People need labels to judge you, and if you don't judge yourself by the labels, you disempower them.

-- Caroline McHugh

Knowing your absolutes not only helps you to express yourself, it gives you the criteria by which to judge yourself.

-- Caroline McHugh

Love, Individuality, and Freedom are what I call my Absolutes, what Martin Luther King Junior called the content of my character, and they govern every choice I make and everything I do. How I parent my children. How I run my business. Where I buy my shoes. How I get dressed in the morning. They choose the movies I love and the people I befriend.

-- Caroline McHugh

My commitment to myself and those around me is to live my deepest humanity, and to use that to be a contribution, so freedom doesn't just describe what I want for myself. It describes my world view and what I deem the most basic of human rights.

-- Caroline McHugh

Feeling guilty is contingent on the past and fear depends on the future. If you live in the moment, neither are possible.

-- Caroline McHugh

Individuality: the quality or character of a person or thing that distinguishes them from others of the same kind.

-- Caroline McHugh

More than I can remember, women in particular made comments about being brave, only because they couldn't imagine their heads without hair.

-- Caroline McHugh

Bravery = doing what you can't imagine doing or being what you can't imagine being

Doing what you can't imagine doing or being what you can't imagine being => goals that your subconscious mind cares about

Think of as many labels as you can. You might be faced with twenty or thirty yous. Consider how much you're defined by them. How much of your sense of who you are is vested in each one? In which of your roles do you feel the most you? Most fulfilled? Most alive? Which of them do you feel most passionately about? Which do you feel are most important? Not in terms of priority but in terms of identity ... being a stranger is more a part of me than being a godmother.

-- Caroline McHugh

Priority versus Identity. You can spend much of your time being a son, a brother or even an engineer. But that does not have to define you.

squash risotto

Ingredients

1 medium squash (about 500g), peeled, deseeded & cut into 1cm cubes
Olive oil
1.5 litres vegetable stock or squash stock (see above)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
300g risotto rice
Splash white wine or vermouth
2-3 tbsp butter, to serve
2 tbsp Parmesan, grated, & extra to serve
Salt & pepper

Preparation

1. Sweat the squash cubes in olive oil in a large covered saucepan until tender (about half an hour). Season. Heat up the stock to simmering point in a pan.
2. In a separate large, heavy-based pan, heat the oil, then add the onion and garlic, and cook gently for about 5 minutes, until softened.
3. Add the rice, stir until well coated and cook gently for a few minutes more. Add the wine or vermouth and cook until absorbed by the rice.
4. Now add squash and stir gently for 2 minutes. Add just enough of the simmering stock to cover the rice and stir well. Keep gradually adding stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring constantly. It’s important to keep the rice at a gentle simmer and allow each addition of stock to be absorbed before adding more.
5. After about 15–18 minutes, when the rice is tender but still has a little bite, remove from the heat. The risotto should be a bit sloppy. Finally mix in the butter and the cheese and serve with more Parmesan for the table.

Notes
Try using the squash seeds and pulp to make a vegetable stock, great for squash soups or added to your risotto stock. Just put the scooped-out seeds and fibres into a pan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 30 minutes, then strain.
