Why Interno Sette?

Interno Sette was the name for my apartment buzzer in Rome. The buzzer didn't work much of the time we lived there, but I have always loved something about those two words.

We lived in apartment number 7 in Rome, Italy. Rome is famous for its 7 hills.

Seven is an interesting number. It's a prime number. There are seven days in a week and seven deadly sins. God rested on the seventh day. Seven wonders of the ancient world spread out like the Seven seas.

Some interesting facts about Seven:

• There are 7 spots on a common ladybug.
• Seven is the number of holes in the heads of most mammals.
• 7 is the number of vertebrae in the necks of all mammals.
• 7 is the neutral pH value between acidity and alkalinity.
• There are 7 Chakras.

Until today I have spent a lot of time thinking about the number 5. I had my daughter 5 years ago. For the past 5 years my life has been full of craziness, upheaval and uncertainty, change and loss.

I think I will stop focusing on 5 and start thinking about lucky number 7.
