Elevator So it turns out that the gemstone symbolic for twenty-one years is Iolite. Perfect, it’s purple. I really like the colour, and I am crazy for the late Prince. I love running ELEVATOR and have dedicated the ‘anniversary edition’ blog to sharing the importance of a recent discovery (of mine), the power of Iolite, and how the benefits really mesh with what we need to support where ELEVATOR is going at this point in our journey.
Iolite has been used by shamans to enhance their ability to have clear visions – something I work hard at every day. It promotes pure thoughts (help, wink wink!), intuition (got this one nailed), and self-acceptance (ouchie).
The stone comes from several areas of Africa, like Kenya. Bizarre coincidence, but that’s where my parents are from!!! It’s known as the ‘Vikings’ Compass’ and carries the spirit of journey, dreams, intuition, exploration and illumination. Many people think of Iolite as a guiding stone that helps you to move both physically and spiritually from one realm into another. This is super important. We’re on year two of a five-year growth strategy, and I need to be like Iolite for our team.
The Iolite crystals are used to help recover a lost sense of balance and often recommended to those suffering from a feeling of disorientation or a lack of motivation. Team Love is our number one Imperative, and I’m very grateful to my team, and all of the love and support they share daily with colleagues and clients. I’m also aware of how challenging it can be during a period of rapid growth. I always encourage my team to find balance, while remaining motivated, which can be difficult as a remote-first organization…We need to get our hands on some Iolite crystals. Meg C, thoughts?!
The stone strengthens our resolve to take on new responsibilities and carry them out properly. Plus, it provides us with a sense of self-assurance and endurance. Such an incredibly important factor as we add new clients and team members to the business.
Iolite is also recommended to those who are lacking perspective and wish to bring order to a chaotic life or busy schedule through small, practical methods. We’re an agency – this point rings true loud and clear!
And finally, as a nod to those who enjoy libations (it’s our anniversary after all…) these iolite crystals assist in alcohol consumption, allowing its bearer to avoid the effects of overindulging.
Well, convolution or clarity? I hope this helps provide a sneak peek into some of the things that matter to me, as I acknowledge all of the hard work and commitment demonstrated every single day from my team.
I’ll continue to reflect on the powers of Iolite to guide me as we enter our twenty-third year of business.
Thanks for another great year, team. You’re the best. XO
