About RAMurphy.com

Hello, I’m R.A. Murphy—author, audio guide, and fellow traveler on the winding road of life after 55.

I spent decades working in technology—managing IT systems, teaching university students, and helping people adapt to change. But when I retired, something unexpected happened.

I didn’t want to slow down.
I wanted to start something new.

Like many of us, I found myself asking: Now what?

What do I do with this time, this experience, this urge to contribute—not to a soul-less organization, but to something that matters?

That question led me on a personal search—not for success as the world defines it, but for purpose, fulfillment, and a meaningful next chapter.

And that journey became the heart of my book, Purpose-Driven Prosperity After 55, and the foundation of this site.

Why I Built This Site

RAMurphy.com is more than a website.

It’s a companion for people like you—curious, thoughtful adults who want more than just advice on aging. You want to live with purpose. You want to stay sharp, use your voice, and maybe even earn a little from doing something that lights you up.

Here, you’ll find:

Audio encouragement to stay grounded and inspired

Gentle guidance to help you keep up, not give up

Ideas and tools for sharing your knowledge or starting something new—even if you’ve never done it before.

Whether you’re looking to reinvent your work, reconnect with what matters, or simply make sense of this stage of life, you’re in the right place.

Remember…

You’re not too old.
And it’s not too late.

I believe we don’t have to settle for fading out—we can refocus, reimagine, and thrive.

All it takes is a little guidance, a little clarity, and the courage to begin again… from experience.

Thanks for stopping by. Let’s walk this road together.

Warmly,
R.A. Murphy
