About Us
The 6P-Bottom Line
I had a vision for a new way of doing business, wanting to play with a win-win-win-win-win-win (and on) scenario where everyone benefits. We advocate that there’s no need to live in a win-lose paradigm anymore, there is so much more available to us. So we continue to experiment and aspire and do our best for: People, Planet, Prosperity, Purpose, Prayer, and Play. It hasn’t all been easy, but it’s worth it. Love and light to us all.
People
We all live on this small planet and at Global Wrapshare we recognize that we’re all in this together. We celebrate the beauty of other cultures through their textiles and creativity and hope to connect people around the planet through social awareness, fabric, and blessings. Traveling around the world, we’ve seen such beauty and we also see that many people are lacking even basic needs, including food, water, and shelter. Some cultures don’t have access to education. While we may only make a small difference, we intend to make a difference. If you or someone you know would like to make fabric gift wraps, reach out.
Planet
Part of what inspired Global Wrapshare is our love for planet Earth. It’s our home. We like to reduce, reuse, and recycle (in that order). By using and reusing Global Wrapshare fabric gift wraps you will help save trees and other resources. A Global Wrapshare team member did some research and math to figure out that if every family in the U.S. used one package of fabric gift wrap each year, we’d save enough paper to wrap 90,000 football fields. Wow! When you use our handmade fabric gift wraps you make a difference, in so many ways. Thank you.
Prosperity
One of the main reasons Global Wrapshare manifested is to support people around the planet in generating sustainable financial resources. At Global Wrapshare we hope to demonstrate how you can care for people and the environment, be generous, and be profitable. As a social entrepreneurial venture, our mission is to make a positive difference, make a profit, and give from the overflow. We’re experimenting and playing with that, as we hold the belief that a loving, generous approach to business, can be profitable for all involved. We’re inspired by other social entrepreneurial ventures and conscious businesses and hope to inspire others as well.
Purpose
Global Wrapshare is purpose driven. Our purpose is multifold: we intend to celebrate and enhance people, planet, profit, prayer, and play. We intend to celebrate the beauty of our humanness; to make a positive difference; to ignite love and blessings around the planet; connect cultures; and create beautiful, fun, sustainable global fabric gift wrap.
Prayer
Imagine a pyramid market scheme, but instead of money it’s blessings! It’s like a chain blessing that gets paid back and forward and on and on. In addition to the wrap blessings, Global Wrapshare has folks praying, blessing, and sending love and light out around the planet and to everyone involved in Global Wrapshare, even you and others who read our website. We invite you to submit a prayer request if you have something specific you’d like blessings for. We practice non-directive prayer by sending love and light and leave the details to Spirit, trusting God knows best. We hope you’ll join us and bask in the love and goodness. In addition to encouraging blessings, we celebrate the vast ways in which they express in spiritual traditions, cultures, and individuals around the planet.
Play
For us, play is about having fun, experimenting, and being light-hearted. When we play it’s okay to make mistakes and try new things. Play evokes qualities of Spirit, such as joy, acceptance, cooperation, enthusiasm, upliftment, and gratitude. While it is definitely challenging to play while there is suffering around the planet (or even just struggle with ordinary challenges), we include play to call ourselves forward, and to remind us to enjoy the essence of life, and not take things too seriously. By encouraging play, we intend to hold things lovingly and joyfully. We hope you’ll play with us.
