FROM THE EDITOR

Bottom lines. We all have them. Whether it’s money, accountability, fitness or even wanting to make the most of our (ahem) assets, how we feel about our bottom lines translates into how we feel about ourselves—and the society we live in. Big topic? It sure is, and we’re exploring a T8N-sized piece of it in this month’s edition.

From personal and societal expectations about tipping, to figuring out where the heck twerking came from, this month’s articles are meant to get you thinking about your own expectations, un-comfort zones and the picture in your head of how things are “supposed” to be.

We’re also celebrating the achievement of bottom lines. Fitness goals, business ventures, thriving neighbourhoods—even breakfast routines. So have a read, and join us in some conversations. There’s no better time than spring, after all, to dust off some old expectations and see if they still fit.

Happy April.
