I'll tell you why I'm going to LA

I was invited by Elese Coit to attend The Big Chat conference in LA. It starts today, but honestly, the gas and food money won't come through until today so I'll have to start driving after the money is ready!
I was contacted by Social Media Group to see if I'd like to test drive a Mercury Mariner Hybrid and blog about it.
Both of these opportunities came through around the same time, so I asked for the Hybrid to drive to CA with. I drove it on Wed for about 8 hours and used half a tank of gas. I hope it will save us money on gas during the trip, although high speed driving uses the gas engine, and slow speeds use the electric motor.
But, I've made the drive from Denver to LA CA about 8 times, maybe less, in the past 12 years. We know it takes about 18 hours and usually costs about $600 in gas.
I blogged earlier about The Big Chat. I think I'll be doing some soul-searching to uncover or reveal the things that I'm really passionate about and learning or exploring how in the world to make a living from those things. Or maybe not. I don't exactly know what we'll be doing; it will be a surprise. Perhaps we're just going to talk about how to make positive change in the world; what conditions need to arise in order to foster change in myself or in others. I don't yet know at this point whether it will be about practical applications for my dreams, or theoretical explorations about what's possible.

Jess! Oh, congratulations. This will be such fun to follow along with, both your inner and outer journey. Say hello to California for me. :)
(I like their question wall. You're going to have such fun!)
Thanks Siona! I'm on the phone now listening to the introductions. It's a really small group, about 8-10 people. I'm connecting by speaker phone now and I'll meet them tomorrow. Everybody gathered together has had some kind of awakening in their lives where they learned how to overcome their problems. This is very exciting.
Looking fw to knowing more when you're back, Jess!
