Sorine

 


There is a recent addition to joining our family. She comes home today.

When we adopted Kraven, the breeder casually mentioned, "See you in six months." Confused, I inquired about the reason. He followed up with a confident smile, saying, "You'll be back to get another one." I couldn't help but laugh, but deep down, I knew he was right.

When we went back to the breeders on March 9th, we were confronted with the overwhelming task of choosing a new puppy all over again. We took his advice into consideration and opted for a female this time. He had mentioned that having two males could cause frequent clashes, transforming our home into a chaotic battlefield.

On January 20, 2024, Brooke came into the world. October 5th, 2023 marked the day Kraven entered the realm of the living. They are practically the same age, with only a few months between them. Initially, we set out to buy a half-sister with the same dad. Brooke captured our hearts, and we couldn't resist putting a deposit on her.

Our fresh addition will become Kraven's playmate and companion in the future, but I expect a short period of jealousy and unease from him. Among the people we know, it's rare to find someone who doesn't own at least two Great Danes or have a connection to someone who does. Seeing how much they flourish in the presence of a companion; it was a simple choice to bring home our new baby girl.

Marcie cradles Brooke in the picture above, but once she crosses our threshold, she will forever be Sorine. We chose the name because Kraven is a character in one of my favorite movie series, Underworld. Kraven's reputation precedes him, as he is renowned for his cunning and merciless nature. In this story, there is a male character named Soren and his name has a feminine form, Sorine (pronounced sore in).

People with the name Sorine have a deep inner desire for love and companionship and want to work with others to achieve peace and harmony.

Until next time,

Tim

25 years

  How do I put love into words? Especially after 25 years of marriage, two children, a few dogs, and various moves we have made both with jobs and homes. How do I explain how someone is in my daily thoughts, and every decision I make takes her into account? I have seen her grow into an exceptional mother, loving and understand wife, and beautiful human being. She is the reason I am still here on earth. Dearest Marcie, Twenty-five years. A quarter of a century. It feels like yesterday we stood at the altar, our hearts brimming with hope and anticipation. And yet, as I look back on these years, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude and love. You have been my constant, my rock, my guiding star. Your love has been a beacon of light, illuminating my path even in the darkest of times. Our home is alive with the melody of your laughter, bringing boundless joy, while your kindness ignites a warmth within my very being. I cherish the memories we've made together - the adv...

Good Enough?

  This past week Dr. Erin and I discussed many things. She did, however spring a new term on me. Social Attribution Error. It is something I suffer from, without knowing the term and we dove a little deeper into it and what I could do to reverse it. Social Attribution Error has many aspects but a few I want to point out. Explaining behavior : It's the process of trying to understand why someone acted a certain way by assigning a cause to their behavior.  Internal vs. external attribution : You can attribute behavior to internal factors (like personality traits) or external factors (like situational circumstances). With a bit of conversation Erin and I discussed my strong and irrational internal attribution and how I always see myself as not good enough. Not a good enough father, husband, friend, employee, relative, writer, photographer, etc. Much of this started in my childhood when my mother would compare me to my classmates, friends and even cousins...

A gift from a friend

Photo by: Tim Bindner Photography Recently I received a gift from a friend.  It was unexpected but it meant so much.  A simple gesture, an act of kindness, a show of love and friendship. I met Miranda via Instagram based on a recommendation from my buddy Mark.  Like most things, he recommends I seriously consider and highly respect his suggestions.  This was true to form.  I began following Miranda on Instagram, Facebook and even viewing her website.  I stuck up a few online conversations and got the nerve to ask her for an interview.  I wrote about that here . Eventually, text and online correspondence led to a few phone calls.  I admired her work and even discussed creating a book of my own and she admitted wanting to do one as well.  Specifically, I saw two pictures that I loved.  My passion for nature, especially trees is well known.  When I saw this photo (single tree) I was floored.  I even asked her if I could buy a copy.  Nothing really came of that.  I then saw another photo ...
