Thank God Christ has risen just once this year, so I don't have to reply to Easter messages on multiple occasions :)

Jokes aside, Easter was the only religious holiday we celebrated in my Soviet childhood, so I am sentimental about it and all the memories of large family gatherings and the delicious food.

Of course, my first time hosting an Easter lunch in 2012 was also my last. But luckily, my younger sister Lena has grown into a proper Armenian woman (with everything it entails), so I can benefit from her homemaking talents!

Funnily enough, when we were young, our Dad thought that it would be the other way around: the "obedient and smart" older child would be "married with 3-4 kids and a fantastic corporate career", while "tomboyish and sassy young daughter may get it a couple of times wrong before getting it right".

What my Dad didn't know was numerical psychology and our mission numbers. So, here we are, 20-25 years later, with my love for freedom and questionable career choices (Mission 5) and Lena becoming the marvelous matriarch of the family (Mission 1). Lena keeps our extended family together in various parts of the world and takes our family tree and ancestral roots very seriously.

The moral of the story? Knowledge is power, my friends! If you want to know your kids' "software", their strengths, weaknesses, skills, and talents (and to avoid disappointment), you should learn numerical psychology or get a reading.

P.S. Happy-happy Easter to everyone celebrating!
