July 2015 Project Update


Summer is in full swing, and the Traveling Notebook has been enjoying the great weather and hospitality in Ontario, Canada!

So many beautiful photos were taken that I can't share them all, but I selected a few that you will find below.  Absolutely beautiful!

We have about a dozen participants in Ontario, and so far the Notebook has made its way to half of them!  Go book, go!








*see disclaimer at bottom


*it was brought to my attention that I should mention that not all Canadians are obsessed with moose. Based off the photos I figure that may be true, but it certainly looks like that moose is obsessed with our Notebook!

June 2015 Project Update


Summer is here!

This month, the notebook has been journeying all over Canada. It was even in Canada for Canada day, such perfect timing!!

Our awesome project women took a lot of great photos with the Notebook.
One brave woman even used her time with the Notebook to share her MRKH story for the first time!

In honor of the Project's one year anniversary (!!!!) the Project's founder, Kristen, had hundreds of custom designed post cards made, and sent them out to women in the project all over the world!
It was an exciting time as the postcards began arriving and photos were being shared!

We also added a new member from Germany! Our second German woman participating, and one who shares her MRKH story on YouTube for other German-speaking MRKH'ers. We are so excited to have her!

Also this month, Kristen designated two people to be her 'backup' people, in the event that she no longer could continue as head of the Project.  Don't ask why she didn't think of this a year ago, she doesn't know either!

Anyway, enjoy the photos below of the Notebook's travels, and some of the postcard pictures!
There were lots of photos to share this month, hurray!

Until next month!

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO THE SISTERHOOD'S TRAVELING NOTEBOOK!!

The notebook got to visit around Michigan this month.
Two women met up together to write their pages in the notebook, and then it was sent to another city in Michigan where Chelsea got to write in it! The Notebook is just full of adventures!
The notebook arrived to Chelsea on the exact day that the project began one year ago! Wow!

Chelsea took the Notebook on a tour of Detroit, check out these awesome photos...

Happy March, friends!

The Notebook went on some great adventures this month!!

It traveled through Norway, and spent some time in the famous Oslo park Vigelandsparken. Check out the photos below, the park is absolutely breathtaking.

The Notebook then had to make another ocean crossing... its presence was requested at the annual MRKH Conference in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA! 

As fate would have it, the notebook arrived unexpectedly quick and was delivered the day before the annual MRKH conference in Boston. The woman who received it went to that conference too, so the Notebook gets to visit two MRKH conferences within a few weeks of each other! How amazing!

Check out these awesome photos of the Notebook's adventures in March!

February 2015 Project Update

Hi friends!

The project has been on the move all month!

Before we start on that, though, I want to mention that there are only a few spots left in this project. By group decision we cannot add any new people from the USA (because the US represents over half of all participants!)... if you live somewhere outside the United States and have been thinking about joining us, now is the time! Bonus points if you live in a country not already represented in the project, we love diversity!
Email sisterhoodstravelingnotebook@gmail.com to speak with Kristen about joining! Remember, this project is unique to women who have the condition MRKH only!

On to the project!

This month, the Notebook has moved around Norway, slowly making its way north!
It was delivered through the mail to one of our sisters, and after she wrote in it she met up with another sister to deliver the book in person. Love that!

Also (so exciting!) we added a new participant to the group representing our TWENTY FOURTH PARTICIPATING COUNTRY!
Welcome to the project, Germany!
Wir freuen uns, dass Sie hier sind!

(interesting Random Fact, Kristen (the creator of this project) has German heritage! Her family (named Stiede) immigrated to America from Germany sometime around the first world war... she has relatives in Germany still!)


Enjoy these photos of these incredible women with our incredible book!
