About Me

You've got to be kidding me, I have Breast Cancer? My name is Madelene Boudreaux. I just had my 51st birthday and my present was cancer. Although it wasn't the present I was expecting, I have decided to embrace it as such. My life as it existed is changed. Even though my diagnosis is that I have the most common breast cancer you can have (80% of the women who get breast cancer have this one) and the actual tumor was only 1.2 centimeters and there was only a microscopic spec in one lymph node... things just changed overnight. I feel confident that I will be healed with all the surgery, chemo and radiation, as well as the prayers, the shift in lifestyle and health changes, all of this with God as my Healer overseeing the whole plan. Most importantly, sunsets are more beautiful, my children are more precious and I cry for everything. Such clarity prevails, where life was blurry. I know my healing will come gently through trusted medical professionals, faith in a loving God and prayerful friends. I am surrounded by love with my family of eight kids and a great husband and a community of kind spirits!

"Sneauxing" in Louisiana!!


Well,  lookie here, theres a snowman at our house!! Malorie called at 5:30 this morning to let us know she was outside at her house in Crowley making snowballs. So we woke everyone up and we made our own little mini snow man! Bryan was not at all impressed, having endured a GAZILLION more times snow in Indiana! Anyway, LET IT SNEAUX, LET IT SNEAUX, LET IT SNEAUX!!! Love the Boudreaux's!

As I ponder the miracle of Christmas and the meanings....Bethlehem (House of Bread), manger (to eat), Emmanuel (God with us)...I am in awe of how He speaks to us, even in the little things...to let us know that He is with us...As Fr. said in Mass this morning, grab a hold to His hand and don't let go!!!
