What Is UPlift Someone Day?

National UPlift Someone Day is a day to spread joy and appreciation. Acts of kindness such as a simple thank you or recognizing those who have made a positive impact can make others feel connected and valued. When we see an uplifting act — or are the recipient of one — it energizes us to pay it forward.

UP Entertainment celebrates its mission to UPlift Someone on October 30th through a variety of activities. We hope you’ll feel UPlifted and inspired to share joy with others.

Coney makes you smile

My dachshund mix, Coney Hot Dog, goes to a hospital twice a month. And he visits a senior assisted living once a month. This month, he will be going as "Dr Coney", giving his version of medicine to all. But mostly he brings smiles and giggles as he walks by, stopping to visit.
I have been doing this for 30 years, Coney is dog #6 for me. We both love lowering blood pressure, heart rate, and creating good feelings. Wave and say "hi" if you see him!

The Force is Strong With You

Miracles never cease

From one of our fan favorite shows, Heartland Season 18 Episode 1, there was a moment in the show where they said "Miracles never cease." I absolutely love this quote especially as someone who has a mother with rapid decline of Alzheimer's and Dementia, having the faith that miracles never cease gives me hope for more of those moments of clarity with her as time passes and things progress. Each beautiful moment I get with her I share with others in fellow support groups to uplift them.
