Just smiling at someone walking down the street can make the person's day. It's all about paying it forward.
Mariska HargitaySixty-five percent of Americans don't have the conversation with their children.

Mariska HargitayBeing fearless means busting down those walls of fear and being who you are, not who someone else thinks you are.
