I am Debra L Coles, a woman chosen by God. Married to my Husband for 18 years, we share a blended family of eight children and five grandchildren. Prior to marriage, I endured hurt, brokenness, and life's disappointments. Unsaved and unsure of where to turn, I turned to self-help books to cultivate self-love, crucial for loving others. I learned to value myself and my needs, and the power of saying no. In 2004, a pivotal event deepened my connection with Jesus, leading to introspection about my identity and true belonging. I dedicated my old self to God's purpose. I founded Exceptional New Me to help others explore their inner selves and become their best selves. To me, butterflies represent endurance, change, hope, and life. We each possess unique gifts, and my goal is to assist you in discovering and utilizing your inherent talents.
