About Me — Jim Mura
I paint words on an obscure cave wall. For me, only me. Glance at the scrawlings… if you choose
Really, I only purposefully write for me. I am not driven to build readers or followers. I do have a lightly viewed blog. It began as my 200 day countdown to quitting my job, selling our house, giving away our possessions and moving to the beach. And we did it… with a few days to spare!
After decades of self imprisonment in corporate life, I am nearing three years of freedom. Stress free living after vanquishing an existence that was slowly killing me. I discovered the secret of happiness… for me.

Oh, and I’m an underachiever too. Ever since abandoning my marginal basketball power forward skills for an animal house fraternity social life in college. Always eked out an A minus to somehow, almost laughingly, be presented with a Phi Beta Kappa key. Did nothing creative with it. Became a manufacturing finance manager. Completed the Financial Management Program with GE, but refused to go on the corporate audit…
