Straight From The Heart

January 9, 2026

Dear Ground Crew:

Here is the latest from Apollo:

“I greet you today with wide open arms and an illuminated heart. We’re together to spread the word—to illuminate the hearts of those who are ready to be in the light of the Golden Age.

You have made remarkable progress. There has been a Shift of the Ages. Perhaps you can feel it now, because everything is different. Consciousness is different. The mirrors of your light are reflecting back to you the progress that has been made. It is a New World.

Wherever you go, and no matter what you do, everything is different. It is strange and unusual. For some of you, the change is intensely visible. For others, you may notice the behavior of other humans (or not?) who are behaving outrageously—when you’re driving, in the grocery store, or simply walking down the street.

The massive changes and currents are taking you into higher realms that will continue to rise. You are no longer in the third dimension. You are just beginning to realize it. It is important that you awaken to exactly how different everything is, and to see and feel your new world.”

This is Valerie speaking. Happy New Year and Happy New World to our wonderful Ground Crew! I want to talk to you today about what Apollo is saying, because I am having some stark awarenesses around these revelations.

Since the beginning of 2026, it has become a worldwide weird adventure. It is moving everyone. More open information is coming out for awakening humanity. We are finding out who we are. We are learning that we have keener vision than we ever thought. The blinders are being removed.

I am noticing that the matrix is gone for many of us, and that we are moving on our way to a new home. Many of us do not fit here anymore. That is why we have been challenged to move into this year of 2026.

This is a result of the Split. According to channel Lee Carroll, who has brought the teachings of Kryon for over 30 years, it has taken 26 years to reach this point after 2012. Here is a link to his fifteen-minute video.

This is an example of how programmed we have been—enslaved, controlled, and manipulated.

The other day, I had an eye appointment to have my eyes dilated. I was running late because of all the schedule changes from the end of last year and the beginning of this one. People were gone, and it was challenging to get answers to scheduling questions.

I hurried to get to my appointment. After arriving 15 minutes early, I moved quickly through the office procedures. Then I sat down and waited for an hour to have my eyes dilated. After the dilation, I waited another 20 minutes—or more—to see the doctor. The doctor was excellent. I ended up leaving after having been there for over two hours.

After going through the entire process, I realized how deeply we have all been conditioned by the allopathic medical system, which often does not consider the patient’s time—only the system’s schedule and corporate structure. We have been taught that it is acceptable to wait for hours to see a physician or complete a procedure. Who thinks about the patient’s time in such a system? This is what I am beginning to question.

I now see that the matrix system is what we have been toiling under for eons. This lack of regard for people’s time and treatment has long been considered acceptable. Somehow, now, it feels different. Abuse and inconsideration of people are no longer acceptable in our grand Fifth-Dimensional Golden Age.

This awareness applies to all corporations, not just healthcare. I am an ex-hospital administrator who has worked in other corporate systems. I have lived life on this planet and have been a recipient of these structures—just as you have.

Please think about what I am saying. We now get to make new choices that lead the way to a beautiful, golden, light-filled world.

We will find our new 5D home as one in which we can easily manifest. I have found that even searching for information mentally can now come to us in a flash.

Some of these new awarenesses are kind of fun—and I’m sure they will get even more fun. For instance, I have started calling my new media social media. This means simply talking to someone on the street as you pass them by. You can acknowledge people wherever you are and start a real conversation. That is the new social media. Try it—you might find it delightful. There are so many wonderful people to meet in this world.

There is greater awareness of spontaneity, increased transparency, and participation.

There is also more participation from the plant kingdom. The other day, I was in my living room when someone suggested I do a meditation. As soon as they said it, my beautiful palm plant in the dining room confirmed the suggestion by falling forward. This plant, which I dearly love, has been with me for over 30 years. It has been through many classes, meditations, and healings—and now it is responding to what I’m saying!

I have also discovered how challenging it can be to work in a 3D environment or use old techniques. They can be helpful, but they are draining.

The year 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse in Chinese astrology, beginning on February 17. This is a powerful year of new beginnings. It is a one year—a year of initiation. So let’s go for it!
