What is your renaissance?

I think the universe has sorta reborn my belief in myself and my abilities, as well as the potential for the universe to be a magical, creative place.  I think I got bogged down in thinking things had to line up the way I was told they should, or the way important people in my life claim it should, and I was feeling off and out of balance and just stuck without a source of real power to act or make change.  Then, randomly, after the new year, I think after a trip to Mexico, I felt different.  My friends started encouraging different beautiful things (though they always do that, I think there was just a shift in my optimism), and though I was no pessimist before, any vestiges of doubt or frustration stopped being so darn hard to just let go of.  Not that I don't have huge moments of fear and doubt and sadness and WTF?ness, but there is just generally a larger sense that we are all creating a better world for ourselves and those around us.
