Rare Disease

When we think of spring, we often associate it with new beginnings, growth, and renewal. Today's #MightyMinute is all about embracing the spirit of the season to reflect on what we can weed out and make space for.

Whether it's exploring new treatment options, building community, speaking up, securing our boundaries, carving out time for activities we enjoy, shifting our perspectives, or pursuing our curiosities—spring can be an opportunity for change.

🌸 What do you want to make more room for this spring? 🌸

Welcome to a new week, Mighties! 😇

Imagine looking at the days ahead from a bird’s-eye view. If you had to capture this week in just one word, what would it be? What kind of energy or vibes do you expect it to bring?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks chose the word "busy." She has a lot planned and is looking forward to it—but she also knows she’ll be exhausted by Friday.

How about you? What’s your word for the week?

In this week’s forecast of self-care challenges, we’ll be exploring the topic of list-making. 📋

Whether it be to shop for groceries or reflect on how you’re feeling, creating lists can definitely be a succinct and straightforward way to express and organize your thoughts and ideas. In other circumstances, creating lists can also feel like an added chore depending on your needs and preferences.

What are your thoughts? Do you find list-making helpful to you?

There are multiple ways we can think about our responsibilities — from the tasks we have to complete and check off of to-do lists to others we may have to look out for, lead, or take care of, like family, children, pets, coworkers, or even ourselves.

Who in your life are you most responsible for right now?

Chosen Soldier by Melanie R.

I am a chosen soldier
in the army of The Lord
Presence,
Spirit lifted
Sovereign Word,
my trusted sword.

I put on Ephesians armor;
Found ready,
as we stand.
Together He battles with us,
fight for good, and Glory land.

The breastplate of righteousness
adorned across my chest
Protects and helps guide us.
My heart source brightly cleansed.

The helmet of salvation
Covers and Keeps watch.
Shielding darts,
casts down arrows,
diffuses negative thoughts.

Washed robes of White.
Mercy’s priestly gown.
Anointed Oil of Righteousness,
Lamb Sheared without a sound.

Unblemished armor,
Clothed in strength.
Mercy’s knight-
Shield of faith;
provides a fortress to
Reflect His Holy Light!

Covered by King’s glory.
Truth belt buckled in.
Following His Story,
fueled this fire from within.

Yielded body
Willing forge.
Faithful soldier;
Unsheathed sword.

Marching onward
torrential battles…
crushing giants forThe Lord-

Designed to knock down strongholds,
Conquer fear, and destroy doubt.
Anoint us as we travel,
steadfast martyrs for the crown.

To God be the Glory!
