About….

I write to keep my mindset focused on the light. A survival tactic turned into a passionate purpose. My poetry and quotes are simple, heartfelt, message driven, and hopefully go straight to the soul. It is my mission to provide words that can be used everyday, as well as in those moments life hits hardest. Words carry what they are and poetry is not just for literary minded poetry buffs, it can be used in so many ways to simply ease the rub of this life – a balm if you like. I hope you will find comfort and new perspectives in my books as well as some things you already knew but had perhaps forgotten along the way. It’s a rocky ride, this world, and I like to think poetically arranged words are like medicine for soul-flu. A hug on a page. A glimmer in the grey. A reminder that even in the worst of times there is hope, there is light and there are others who have been where you are. It is not rocket science but perhaps it is a kind of science of the soul? Whatever it is, it comes with love. And if you ask me, that’s the way. You may use my words personally (but not for commercial purposes or resale), however you like. They are written to be used. If you run a charity or have a cause in mind, I hope my words can help. If you are grieving, whatever you need to take, the answer is always yes. We are here to get each other through, as best we can and if I can somehow bring something to someone’s ‘worst’, I will. If you wish to use my words in a publication or book you can message me on donna@donnaashworth.com and I will always try to accommodate.
