The Bright Side Cooperative

Let us heed to the wisdom of those who were here before us this Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, read The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson. Her story follows a Dakota family for several generations and the women who protected their family seeds. Enjoy!

Cooperatives are all about community, here at the Bright Side we strive to bring together our members and our neighbors so that we can make a more harmonious community and help build each other up

Cooperatives around the world generally operate according to the same core principles and values, adopted by the International Co-operative Alliance in 1995. Cooperatives trace the roots of these principles to the first modern cooperative founded in Rochdale, England in 1844... but we know Black & Brown Ancestors have been doing this as a natural part of our being. From the Underground Railroad, to “Sou-sous”, and so on!

Mondays at The Bright Side Cooperative are all about mindfulness! That’s why we call Mondays . Did you know Mondays are ruled by the moon? This means that on Mondays we use them to rest, plan, and prepare for our week and workload ahead. Two day weekends are a thing of the past… but if you do have to work, we want to be the angel on your shoulder reminding you of your strength and responsibilities to yourself! Take today to make work feel more comforting; joke, laugh, talk, or be blissfully in your zone. However you decide to spend your Monday we support you fully!

Everyone!

Let’s get ourselves out of work mode and take our next 48 hours to relax and recoup. Go out and spend your weekend enjoying your free time!

Happy ! Today we want to remind you that serenity comes from a comfortable mind space, and no one can pay you enough to invade that. Listen to your favorite songs, read a good book, let your creativity shine, or even just take a nap! You deserve ease.

These and so many more non profits are doing amazing work for our collective communities. Happy
