Wake Up #ON PURPOSE

Our habits of excellence are directly proportionate to the amount of excellence we experience in our lives. It is often difficult to nail the near-perfect morning, and the "near-perfect morning" takes many forms. Today's first hour was a massive success.

Here's what went down:

• Pseudo-Bulletproof Coffee (Organic coffee, coconut oil, grass-fed butter, cinnamon & vanilla essential oils)
• Three organic cage-free eggs (onion, garlic, balsamic, himalayan pink salt, pepper) over organic kale
