Sherry Dryja
Founder Petite Over 40
📍Seattle
Hi, I’m Sherry. I write stories for anyone who’s ever felt small in a big world and still wanted to taste everything it had to offer. My work blends humor, reflection, and the surprising tenderness of ordinary moments. Whether I’m being ignored by cats in Spain, falling in love with tiles in Japan, or noticing the quiet magic of my Seattle neighborhood, I write about being human in all the places that shape us.
Hunting Truffles with Cowboy
We set out into the woods to find truffles. Our guide was a dog named Cowboy. He found something else instead—a long bone, possibly human. This is the story of a winter day in the Pacific Northwest, a quietly remarkable dog, and the woman who works beside him.
Frida, Fashion, and the Dream That Followed Me Home
This isn’t quite a travelogue. It’s more like a dream I had while awake, somewhere in Coyoacán. Every word is true—just not all of it happened in the usual way.
My Sinuses vs. Mexico City: A Telenovela
Our trip to Mexico City started with walking tours, tacos, and ambition. It ended with a cold, a curtain, and a surprising lesson in letting go.
