About Me – Monica Fernandi

Have you been living life day to day, month to month, year to year and ..BAM..suddenly found yourself a ‘grown-up’ looking back at the years that have flown by and feeling like time is running out to fulfill your dreams and your “bucket list” ?

I totally get it! As a mother of 3, I know what it’s like to be caught up in the whirlwind of child rearing while also balancing work, marriage and trying to keep my soul happy and my body healthy while running full speed ahead on the ‘treadmill of life.’

Then, just when my kids were reaching independence, BAM! My parents needed me to step in and become their caregivers. Nevertheless, I keep smiling, laughing and maintaining an attitude of gratitude in all I do … because life is just too short to do otherwise.

The top 3 stressors in a person’s life are death, divorce and moving. I went through all three in a span of less than 18 months. Throughout that time, I had to dig deep within myself to connect with my God-given strengths – mental, spiritual, and physical.

I strengthened my inner resilience muscles, along with biceps, triceps, quadriceps and more. Too often, we compare ourselves to others and allow our passions and inner sparks to dwindle and die simply because we are afraid to FLY.
