A year ago I started this blog but then it lay dormant most of the year. When I started, I used the title AuthenticAutumn. I tried to find my notes for how I came up with this name but they remain misplaced for now. 

In the last couple of weeks, I’ve been slowly working to revive my blog. Today my assignment through Blogging U was to revisit the site title and come up with a tagline. 

I like the title Authentic Autumn. I recall this name having something to do with authenticity in the autumn of my life. I like the sound of it. It spoke to me.

Even today, I found that I was quite reluctant to change it. It was as if while the blog lay dormant, the title had acquired some sentimental value to me. Knowing myself, I know I chose it quite carefully. But I’m not sure that it reveals to the reader what my blog is about. It’s like an antique piece you keep on your mantle that no one but you understands what is or what it means.

So back to the drawing board I went. Writing words and adjectives that described me and what I intended to write and playing around with titles.

• Authentic
• Daily two cents
• 20 open tabs
• Ordinary
• Extraordinary
• Work
• Life
• Introvert
• Authentic fexibility
• Flexibly authentic
• Introspective introvert
• The mystical mundane
• Ans so on and so forth.

Then I came across this quote by Bill Moyers “Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous.” And therein, I found my new site title and tag line. Piercing the Mundane: A blog about life, work and the vast in between. 

And for now that feels about right.
