In life you have two choices. You can laugh or you can cry. You have to laugh, you have to.
Mariska HargitayThese days we donโt have to fit into something other people think we are. Weโve leveled the playing field, life is inclusive. Iโm a mom, sex detective, wife, fearless, gentle โ we can now, with grace, be all of what we are.
Mariska HargitaySometimes things in life happen that allow us to understand our priorities very clearly. Ultimately you can see those as gifts.
Mariska HargitaySixty-five percent of Americans don't have the conversation with their children. So you're sending off boys and girls off to college, off to high school, off to wherever they go, and nobody's had the conversation about how to conduct themselves. About a man telling his son how to be a man. How to respect a woman. How do you respect yourself?
Mariska HargitayYour body is not who you are. I don't think women should label themselves based on the way they look. What about defining yourself by a different kind of measurement? What about your heart, your soul, your compassion, your generosity, your strength and your power? There are so many other things to focus on besides your waistline.
