Can you list your top five most important values? As we go about our daily lives, it's all too easy to go through the motions without ever taking time to examine and clarify our personal values. Making decisions based on our values allows us to live lives with more meaning and purpose. This evidence-based activity is proven to change your mood and improve your outlook. All it requires is your careful attention and honest responses. We highly recommend doing this activity as a family or with a spouse or partner. We also recommend doing it at least once a year to see what has changed for you. This is especially true if you are a teenager or a young adult. This exercise is based on research conducted by William Miller, Janet C'de Baca, Daniel Matthews, and Paula Wilbourne and is used by therapists, career counselors, teachers, etc., all over the world.

Gather is a private, invite-only app for the people already in your life. Make a Circle for your family, your friends, your book club, your neighborhood, or your team. Share what you're already doing. Dinner tonight. A hike this weekend. An extra ticket. Coffee after work. The right people see it and tap to join. How Gather works • Post a plan in seconds. A dinner, a walk, a rodeo night, a quick coffee. • Join with one tap. Anyone in the Circle says "I'm in." • Keep it in one place. Comments live on the plan, so nobody digs through a group text for the details. • Private by design. No public feeds, no algorithms, no follower counts. Invite-only. Shared tickets, sorted Gather started as a way for one family to pass around their Houston Rodeo season tickets. Claim a date, confirm the handoff, and everyone knows who has them tonight.
