Welcome to Dream Big, Girl!              

My name is Mary Henderson.

I have been dreaming about meeting you for so long now! I wanted to write a blog because I know that there are women out there, just like me, that need to be reminded of their worth. I wanted to create a space where we could all share our dreams, our gifts, as well as our challenges. Recently I was looking over a list of my personal goals from a few years ago. What I saw opened my eyes to the fact that I had forgotten how to dream big!

So I rewrote them…

As I read through my new list, I was so proud of my audacity. One of them was to start this blog that would help women find wholeness physically, spiritually and emotionally. I’ve had the privilege to speak into the lives of so many beautiful women in my years as a restaurant owner, personal trainer, preacher, teacher and friend. My heart hurts when I see so many of God’s daughters never fully knowing their worth to Him and to those around them.

Some of you may be like me and have forgotten those big audacious dreams, believing that its too late, there’s not enough time, education, or money but this is what I’ve found as I walk closer and closer to God. If He’s in it, nothing can stop those dreams from coming true.

With this blog, I hope to create a place where you can find inspiration, guidance, truth, some fresh perspective but mostly just a soft place to land when life gets rough. While all our stories are unique, all of us struggle with doubts and insecurities. Young or old, rich or poor—we all have aspirations. We each go through seasons of our lives and so many of us just lose ourselves in the busyness of it all. I did! But I’m ready to dream again and I want to inspire you to dream as well!

I am now a published author! That has been one of my biggest dreams from a young age and I’m so excited to share with you my new devotional. It will challenge and inspire you! And make sure to check out the companion podcast, Dream Big Girl!

One of my passions is health and wellness because of some health issues I’ve walked through. Several years ago, I accomplished a big dream and achieved my personal trainer and health coach certifications. It has been one of the most fulfilling areas of my ministry and yes; I absolutely considered it just that. That morphed into a healthy meal service because I adore my clients and friends! I love to cook beautiful meals that feed my soul as well as my body. So on our journey, I’ll share some of my favorite recipes, sound fitness advice and my experience of losing over 50 pounds to get into the best shape of my life.

I’m a mom of one handsome son and his beautiful wife and Mimi to their two daughters! Those babies are the joy of our lives and you’ll meet them through the pages of my blog.

I’ve fallen deeper in love with Jesus than I ever dreamed possible and I believe He is the answer to all our needs and all our questions.

So…welcome to my blog! My prayer is that you are blessed, inspired, challenged and that your faith is stretched a bit further but most of all, my desire is to see each of you..DREAM BIG, GIRL!
