I posted this in a group and thought it would be good to preserve it here:
In our traditional (Cherokee) teachings, we are taught that when one truly gives a gift, they release all connection to that gift. If you hold onto the string of connection by keeping up with what happens to that gift after it is given, then you never really gave it away in the first place. It's a more peaceful way of approaching life for me to release a gift and never look back.
