A woman mailed her diary to a stranger, who added an entry and did the same. People have kept it going for a year. Sydney Page Kyra Peralte had an idea to send a composition notebook with her diary entry to a stranger last April. The woman who got it did the same, and a year later, seven diaries have circulated, and 115 women have been part of the traveling diary. (Courtesy of Kyra Peralte) Kyra Peralte thought keeping a diary during the pandemic might help her sort out her tangled feelings. Then she decided to drop her journal in the mail and share it with a stranger.
