Chicago to Houston | Finding Joy and Peace in Life | Deep Reflections on Being Bound

Hey Family! Welcome back to another adventure — this time I’m heading from Chicago to Houston, Texas! In this vlog, I take you along on my journey to Houston while sharing some deep reflections from my recent Alcatraz tour in San Francisco. Visiting Alcatraz was emotional — hearing about the harsh conditions and seeing how people were treated behind bars truly broke my heart. I open up about my feelings on the U.S. incarceration system and my discomfort with seeing people or animals in cages — whether it’s jails, zoos, or aquariums. Every living being deserves freedom and dignity. But it’s not all heavy — I also talk about something we all need: JOY. Let’s chat about the importance of doing what brings you joy, finding peace, resting your body, and being intentional about lowering stress and anxiety in your life. You’ll also catch some fun scenes as I explore downtown Houston, walking the streets, soaking up the energy, and enjoying this new city vibe. If you’re into travel, faith, and real talk about life and inner peace, this video is for you! 📍 Highlights in this vlog: Traveling from Chicago to Houston ✈️ Emotional recap of the Alcatraz tour 🏝️ Honest thoughts on incarceration & compassion 💔 How to bring joy and peace into your life 🌸 Walking tour of downtown Houston 🏙️ LINKS BELOW: ⭐ Affiliate Disclosure ⭐ This page includes Amazon affiliate links.
