I laughed, I cried, and I was inspired.
In a world of so much cynicism, it's almost expected that your story should be in some way dark or nihilistic. Desert Skies takes concepts as serious as death and loss, and is simultaneously able to treat them with seriousness, optimism, and good humor. Each vignette portrays the struggles of a soul coming to terms with their own mortality and the personal mental struggles borne out of their lives on Earth. Our plucky heroes gently, and sometimes not so gently, help these travelers shake themselves loose of the negative perspectives that have bound them their whole lives, so that they can move into the next life free of their burdens. Listening to Mac the mechanic and Tendy the station attendant counseling these weary souls made me wish that I too could join the crew at Desert Skies gas station. Their stories of self-discovery have caused me to reflect on my own life and helped me to remember who I am as well. It has reminded me that gentleness, kindness, and courage are still alive and well, and that new friends are just a gas station away.

Joel, it means so much to me that the show means so much to you. Because it means a lot to me too. Thanks for all of your kind words and high praise
