Great Escape: South Jamesport Beach
Each week, we'll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier. Maybe a whole lot easier.
What comes to mind when you have a little time to yourself?
Most probably, as a mom who gives to everyone first, grocery shopping, picking up the dry cleaning, or scooping out the kitty litter box.
But think, what if you gifted yourself time carved out only for you?

Run - don't walk - grab your camera, binoculars, or a chair, and head to a sweet spot I love to seek out for a new perspective on a hectic day.
South Jamesport Beach is a calming retreat for a quiet centering of self with nature. Especially this time of year - as the mercury starts to rise, the days are a little longer, and before we see the crowds start to roll in - the beach can be a beautiful spot to literally have to yourself for quite some time.

Picture how letting wafting clouds, gliding birds, waves lapping at the beach, warm sun stroking your face, or wind whispering sweetly in your ear can suddenly melt away the roles and rigors of daily life and help reveal the "you" before kids.
And if it's still too cold or windy to take that long walk on the beach quite yet, the experience isn't lost just sitting in the car. Whether in the car, in the gazebo, or walking the bay line a transformation occurs. Slowly, your shoulders unroll and the brow tension eases, and list-making is absent from your mind.
Oh look -is that a smile on your face?!
Now you can go back to the daily trials and tribulations life has to throw at you.
