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.
The Fire of Flamenco
When I showed up for a flamenco dinner in Seville, I wasn’t expecting a life-altering moment. I was just trying not to cry into my tapas. But then she appeared—in the corner of a tiny bar, under twinkle lights and a “no moving during the show” rule—and reminded me, with every stomp and sweep of her arm, that I still had a body. And a choice.
