Are you Durti?

I will remember you…….

LegareWear was born out of the idea that I wanted to have a line of clothing that was excellent quality…all Canadian made and was not an arm and a leg to buy. I had just quit my 10 year job as a high risk youth counsellor to pursue my dream of opening my own Fitness centre!!! www.fitnessfanatx.com. 5 years into it my baby brother died in police custody….tragically and unexpectedly.

When your only sibling dies you have to redefine your place in the world and how you now fit into it! I became a part of a club I never wanted membership in, one that marks you for life. Watching my parents grieve is one of the hardest things Ive done in my life…its not the natural order of things for parents to bury their children. Watching my nephew grow up without his dad is a gut wrencher also.

Every day I am reminded of my loss…..I watch my nephew and at times its like seeing Dennis right before my eyes. Mannerisms and features of his brought back to life. I am joyous and thank full to see it and sad at the same time that he is not here to see it!

He was the biggest baddest most loveable xtreme balls to wall guy! He had a crazi sense of humour and would give you the shirt off his back. He was the kind of person that always shared the wealth of whatever he had. If he was livin large everyone was livin large! Often judged for how he looked…big tattooed…kinda scary I guess.Same as the word DURTI right away you make a judgement…an assumption about what it means.

But if you knew him you would know that he had a heart of gold! Loved animals and children. His favourite flowers were calla lilies! He did every thing to the xtreme! Go hard or go home….if your not gonna give all youve got then why bother? Fall down 60 times get up 61…thats how he rolled! And if you take the time to find out what DURTI means you definately want to get DURTI

The Durti line was inspired by this……I was and am a graphic artist also. All the designs on the clothing are my drawings. They were a way to deal with my grief….and always have Dennis with me. To give his son a legacy to remember…..to let him know his dad a little! To capture that Determined, Unstoppable, Relentless, Tenacious and Irresistable spirit! That Determined, Unstoppable, Relentless, Tuff and so Intense drive to succeed no matter what kind of cards life has handed you.

I hope that the clothing imparts that Durti Spirit onto those who wear it! That whatever they choose to do they do it with Determination….they are Unstoppable……pursuing their goals Relentlessly…with a Tenacious and Irresistable Spirit!!

Go for it…Life is not a dress Rehearsal! Plan for tomorrow but live for today…… Live with intention…and do it DURTI!!!

Durti? Is it a Durti word? Some people are afraid of the word, afraid to wear it?
To me that is a symbol of where they are at in their lives….fearful!

Its just a word and whatever meaning YOU attach to it thats what it becomes for you!

It’s a powerful thing our minds….put to good positive use they are amayzing

.Listening to my nephew and the younger generation…OMG that makes me feel..ummmm? not old, just been around the world for a bit…lol!!

Gotta love wisdom!!

Anyways listening to them talk about sick and ill as postive terms to describe really great things,just makes me really realize even more its all how you think about it.

Generations can and have changed what a word means….DURTI is a powerful example of that.

I’m Durti and I am proud to be Durti! My peeps that are on board with LegareWear are some of the Durtiest people I know….just amayzing human beings!!

You have to be a strong powerful person to rock a “LegareWear” DurtiGurl or DurtiBoy hoody or the like. If your Brave enuff to wear one you will definalty feel the power of Durti!

You will get wrapped in the Durti Spirit.

Durti is not for the masses, its for Determined, Unstoppable, Relentless, Tenacious and Irresistable peeps.

You know the kind that everyone wants to be! Peeps that inspire others.

The ones that are not sheep, they stand out from the crowd.They do fit in cause they were born to stand out!

They persue their goals and dreams despite there circumstances.

The kind that keep on going when it would be easy to just give up.

There the ones making their own paths and everytime they reach what others would call the finish line they have another goal to attain right around the corner.

Durti Boyz and Gurlz are the movers and shakers in this life. Not afraid to go for it! Not afraid to stand up for what they believe in…..Not afraid to dig in and get DURTI!
