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!

Fun Work today!







Today Blair and I delivered and put together the bedding for a bedroom I was decorating. It came out really nice. My sister, Sheila did a fine job with  the sewing for the project.  The owner had opted not to paint the room, but I think it all came together quite well, with the neutral walls!  I often think about how sad it is when people have jobs that don't give them pleasure. I love all the work I do! And I know what a blessing it is when I am called to use the talents that God has given me! 
      I have included some before/after pictures. Bryan did a great job with the "after" photography. Thanks, Bryan!
