First and Counting

I decided to do this blog for many reasons that will be revealed with the time.
I have been contemplating the moment I could share some thoughts, stories and comments about the day to day in my life and people I know.

One of the reasons to create my personal blog is that in the past couple of days I read some interesting and very well written blogs, one of them belongs to a good friend of mine so I want to thank him for the tip, for the words and for the fun.

Let's get started.

As everyone knows all beginnings are difficult, most of all if we don't have a clear idea or a plan.
I used to do things hot and rare, without thinking, to act on impulse was my personal and ideal way to live but with the passing of the years and after up and downs , I learned that thinking and then acting or in some cases reacting is the best decision for keeping yourself sane and calm in every situation.

It was not easy to put a name for the blog until the idea of a storyteller came to me.

Why the title of The ñaña Minstrel? I had the idea of combining Quechua (a native language of Perú) and English.

I felt blessed because this is the kind of work I like to do, mixing my past and my present to create a future.

The ñaña word means sister in Quechua. I'm hoping for you to take me as your sister of storytelling.

Thank you for the interest and enjoy.
