Our final Wellness Wednesday of the year features BenchTalk editor @SalmaHasanAli at Georgetown Waterfront Park, a Sacred Place, for a session focused on journaling—a fitting way to close the year.
"I came here today to walk among a silent crowd, to find a moment of peace in the quiet."
St. Anne's Cemetery in Annapolis operates as part of a 300-year-old parish committed to inclusion and justice.
The garden sits between College Creek and a hillside, featuring a brick plaza with columns that mirror the cemetery entrance. Native plantings sweep along the slope while flowering trees provide shade and buffer nearby traffic noise.
Visitors leave journal entries here, adding their own reflections to this space designed for remembrance and quiet connection.

Last weekend, our friends at @strengthtolovefarm opened their greenhouse for something special — a community Garden Art Party.🎨🍅
Neighbors & volunteers painted, harvested, & spent unhurried time together in a space that invites people to slow down and feel at home. This gathering was a reminder of how much these moments matter — and how a Sacred Place grows when the community brings it to life. 🌿
Spending just a few minutes journaling can noticeably improve your mood, and it’s widely known that writing in a journal or diary can help release negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, or grief.
