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!

Ahh! Getting creative again!





I spent the majority of the weekend helping my friend Melba's daughter get her college condo ready in Baton Rouge. Sarah and her roomate/ cousin, Chelsea and a few other friends all pitched in with the faux finish project. I thought things would get a little hairy with ALL the help, but they caught on quickly were a really big help! They did an awesome job! I wish Sarah all the best in her new adventure. Ricky and Sheila both helped me with the project which made things go very smoothly and quickly!
We also spent Saturday night celebrating Carol and Teenie's (Ricky's Sisters ) birthdays. The BIG 4- 0 and 5-0. Was great to help welcome them to OLD AGE!
Now its back to school time on Thursday! Yikes! 2 teenagers in high school again. Things are changing everyday!
