Super Cherie

Tell me what it is you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?--Mary Oliver

About Me

www.wherescherie.comI like: massages; thunderstorms and dramatic cloud formations; bean bag chairs; the smell of freshly-ground coffee, sweet suntan lotion, and warm chocolate croissants; a hot spa and a cold beer; forgiveness (especially if it is undeserved); peanut brittle; the sanctuary of a good book; bubble baths; raw honesty; the Burning Man Festival; gratitude and random kindness; French onion soup; the idea of cherry blossoms (even though I have never seen one.)

My Interests

Sailing, skiing, hiking, chess, scuba diving, cycling.
adopt your own virtual pet!

I'd like to meet:

People who get to know themselves and can enjoy a good laugh at their own expense. If you can try on new ideas (even if you don't adopt them) you're the type of person I like to surround myself with. I believe that trust isn't earned--it's given. I trust people, and rarely do they prove me wrong.
