Available October 27, 2026

Most of us are taught to believe that joy lives somewhere ahead of us. 

After things calm down. 
After life gets easier. 
After we become better, steadier, more certain.

Part memoir. Part manifesto. Part poetry.

A book to open whenever you need perspective, comfort, or a way back to yourself.

In this calming guided visualization, Donna helps you release the pressure of needing to feel “ready” before you begin.

You’ll be guided through a soothing body relaxation, then invited to imagine yourself surrounded by a radiant orb of light: a symbol of faith, intuition, and connection to something greater.

You feel like you’re carrying a lot, even when you seem fine on the outside

You want to feel calmer, more present, and more connected 

You find comfort in words that help you pause, breathe, and feel 

You are moving through change, growth, grief, or emotional fatigue

You want something you can come back to whenever you need steadiness or perspective

Soul-stirring poetry that helps you pause and feel 

Gentle reflections that bring softness and clarity to everyday life 

Perspective shifts that help you reconnect with what matters most 

Words that comfort, steady, and uplift 

This is not a book you have to read in one sitting. 
It is a book to keep close. 
Open it anywhere. 
Land on a page. 
And take exactly what you need in that moment. 

A few lines. 
A shift in perspective. 
A reminder you didn’t know you needed. 

Then return to it again—whenever life calls for it.

Through gentle imagery and one of Donna’s original poems, this audio helps you honor what brought you here, soften fear around change, and take the next step with more trust. 

It’s a supportive companion for anyone standing at a crossroads, beginning a new chapter, pursuing a dream, or learning to move forward before everything feels certain. 

Because life’s biggest beginnings rarely arrive with perfect readiness. Sometimes, they begin with one brave step.

But Donna Ashworth offers something gentler and truer: the life we’re searching for is often already here, waiting to be noticed. 

The Art of Being Easily Pleased invites you to soften back into your own life through poetry, reflection, and perspective-shifting insight that reconnects you to what is steady, meaningful, and quietly beautiful. 

As a special gift, you'll receive four beautifully designed Donna Ashworth prints featuring some of her most uplifting and thought-provoking poems. 

Cross the Cringe encourages you to let go of other people's expectations and step fully into your authentic self. 

Bird Watching invites you to slow down, reconnect with wonder, and rediscover what truly matters through the simple lessons nature offers. 

Disco Ball celebrates the beauty found in our broken pieces, reminding us that our scars, experiences and imperfections are often the very source of our light. 

The Glue is a moving reflection on compassion, community and the small acts of love that help us heal one another in challenging times. 

Perfect for displaying in your home, workspace or gifting to someone you love, these exclusive prints offer daily reminders of the hope, wisdom and humanity that have made Donna's words resonate with millions around the world.
