They met and they instantly had a connection and fell in love. Who knew that you could find the love of your life just across the street? As part of their courtship, Page started making these hearts out of all sorts of materials (flowers, seeds, beads, pencils, buttons, veggies, metal shavings… you name it) for Madalene. Every Sunday night Page would proudly and loving place her newly created heart on Madalene’s doorstep so when she woke up to go to work, she’d have a beautiful reminder of how much she is loved.

7 months into the relationship Madalene was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. 4 months later after a difficult and painful battle, she was gone. Before Madalene passed away, Page promised her to continue to make Monday hearts for the rest of HER life as a way of saying she would never forget Madalene. It has been 4 years since Madalene left this earth and Page has kept her promise.

On a suggestion form a friend, she started photographing her works of love. One day she sent it out to a friend. And that friend sent it out to others and it snowballed from there. Well, one thing lead to another and now the collection has been made into amazing book. I encourage you to check out the book, Monday Hearts for Madalene and visit Pages website. You could even get a new heart sent to you every week by subscribing to Page’s email list. Oh, and a percentage of the proceeds to the book go to the Woman’s Cancer Research Center. How fantastic it that? There is so much love and creatively in this little book, you can really feel the power of love through each of the hearts. Do yourself a favor and check it out. Page, thank you so much for being so couragous with your love and sharing it will all of us. Madalene will never be forgotten.
