HAPPY NEW YEAR readeRS!
How does that brand new 2017 air feel n your lungs? The New Year is bringing us with it and I want to say thanks for picking this up!
I came across a quirky, no-frills, free pub that circulated my eclectic college city that offered a connection to the city that made you fall more in love with the place with every issue.
I always felt like we could use something like that here to serve as a loudspeaker to pulsate the color, language, attitude, laughter, passion, creativity, talent, pain, genius and craziness that make up what I call our #LimestoneMagic.
DillySeed Mag is a reflection of you. and that takes your participation to keep it authentic. A lot of our content is curated from the public so get in where you fit in! I'm so excited to see what develops!

Does this frazzled rat creep you out? It did for a few of our readers, but he's a symbol of survival.
2016 tapped. that. @$%. for many and since it's over, we can look back on a year that threw curves like it had new weave AND shoes.

Top 5
broken Resolutions
5. Go to church 'on the regular'.
A few Saturday nights into the year, and those late Sunday mornings start to seem more justified.
4. Stop smoking/drinking/partying.
This one doesn't typically make it past Watchnight service; but it's the thought that counts right?
3. Save money.
Remember your $5 challenge? Your 'save all your US' challenge? The savings chart from FB? Yea, me either.
2. Travel more.
By the tie vacation rolls around, you realize that you should've saved more. So...yea.
1. THE HOLY GRAIL OF BROKEN PROMISES: Workout.
Would it be Jan. 3rd if you weren't in the gym? No.
Are you telling yourself that THIS is the year, despite going home to old habits? I hope not.
