Donna Ashworth is a best-selling poet who lives in the hills of Scotland with her husband, two sons, Brian and Dave (the dogs), and Sheldon and Mani (the cats). Donna started her social media accounts in 2018 in a bid to create a safe social space for women to come together and connect, but her love of all things wordy quickly became the focus and a past love for poetry was reignited. Over 10 books and nearly 2 million followers later, Donna is delighted daily with her mission to shower the world with words and make poetry a go-to in our well-being toolkit. donnaashworth.com
