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!

New Baby Photos!



Our Sunday's are becoming ritualistic. We cook a good old fashioned meal, like roast and rice and gravy and then whoever can make it, shows up! I love this so much because it reminds me of how my family used to go to my grandmas for lunch every Sunday and eat a great meal and experience the freshness of country living! That is what I desire for my kids and grandkids when it works for them. Today Bryan took some really great pictures of Evie and Audrey on the new shower curtain that I made from some really great DAMASK fabric! Bryan and I can be dangerous when we put our creative minds together. 
Loving life! 
Had a great visit from our old friend Father Ben this week. What a blessing!
