Vita = Life (the word is feminine, even if you aren't)
Mea = My (agrees in gender with the noun it modifies)
Via = Way (also feminine)
Mea = My (also agrees)
In Latin, adjective most often follows the noun.

Still confused? Continue to ask.

shouldn't be MY before LIFE? so it would be MEA VITA?

Mea Vita is also OK, but in Latin adjectives generally follow the nouns they modify.

There you go, George. A new consulting service idea for when you retire.
