In the Moment Monday Mindset

If Ralph Waldo Emerson’s suggestion that “you are what you think about all day long,” rings true for you, start your week with SDPB for an opportunity to set your mind right.

Each Monday, writer, entrepreneur, and “professional encourager” Melissa Johnson joins host Lori Walsh on In the Moment for a short conversation about small changes that can add up to big things. Johnson, the owner of Sioux Falls-based Oh My Cupcakes! and author of Fingers in My Frosting, Johnson is a certified speaker from author Jon Gordon’s (The Power of Positive Leadership) positivity camp.

Monday Mindset airs Mondays on In the Moment on SDPB Radio and SDPB.org.

Kevin Cole & Joe Obermueller

Monday, February 17 Loving Arms, a new play by University of Sioux Falls (USF) English professor Kevin Cole premieres at USF February 19. USF theatre professor Joe Obermueller directs the work, which explores art, relationships and the threat of violence as three strangers – an unemployed linguist, a city traffic manager, and a docent—forge an unlikely friendship in conversation about two paintings: one by Artemisia Gentileschi and one by Michelangelo Caravaggio while at a world famous art museum. As the three celebrate their newfound friendship, an American shooter enters. Can what happens next be considered parable, allegory, or just another day in America? Cole and Obermueller discuss staging the work.
