Meet Ruth Ann Taylor Long. She knew early in her teen years that she was headed toward the design world—she just didn’t know where she’d land. Owner of Taylored Spaces, a Raleigh, NC, based kitchen and bath design build studio, specializing in creating cabinetry-filled spaces. She say any space you can imagine filled with cabinetry is how she serves her clients. Ruth Ann is able to trace her work ethic right back to her father and grandfather both through their examples and what they required of her and that serves her well in business. Becoming an entrepreneur was not too much of a stretch in the hours you have to put in because she often found herself working nights when she was working for someone else because she treated the work as she would want to be treated. Ruth Ann has travelled some difficult days in the health aspects of her life. She’s been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and sought treatments to improve function and slow the progression of the disease. We talk about MS and how it affects Ruth Ann and her choice of stem cell transplant and how she went about getting help. She’s candid and open, so listeners have a chance to truly learn her experience. She got real lessons from the boulders in the road that she had to figure out what to do with and keep going. She has been quite proactive addressing her issues and has not missed a beat in her day to day. To listen to Ruth Ann, you hear a woman who takes control of her life.Tune in!Song used by permission of artist Donica Knight Holdman and Jim Huff
