Good (albeit) early morning 
@crystal59! I’m Siofra_Strega, a moderator here in the forum. I’m a Mom of 3 plus a couple of adopted children along the way by way of friends of my children 
I can empathize with your anxiety & being shy. I am the same way. Including if my friends have people over, I tend to slip away silently 
before anyone notices. I’m know as the Queen of the Irish GoodBye by friends & family & my neighborhood 
I’m proud of you for having the courage to introduce yourself! Everyone here is very helpful & friendly. Feel free to ask any questions or share anything you may have learned with us! Someone will be along to help you if you need it & get you pointed in the right direction 
The current 
Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - The Chakras is still going if you would like to look through there to see how they are done. They are very open to how you approach them. A new one will start on Wednesday. 
Later this morning there will be a Merry Meet Monday post up, a good place to find out the recent happenings in the forum & the witchy world at large, plus get to meet & chit chat with other members.
I look forward to learning & chatting with you!
