About the Author;

Opi is the name I chose because I have always been interested and drawn to the water. I have gone to the water where ever I am to meditate and sit to just be near it is so relaxing and insightful for me. Opi was used first to mean O for Ozone; P for Pure; and I for Intent, because this was to be my water treatment business name.
Soon I learnt it was what the name of Grandfather was in different cultures and so my grandkids associated the name Opi Drinkwater is a name that I chose also for this reason of me being associated with water and from my heritage as a Metis. I wanted to have a name that represented more of who I am and could bring everything I believe into one. Developing a water treatment business with the name O.P. soon to be changed to Alkamia, the name Drinkwater came to mind since Opi is for pure water to drink. In telling my father this name I chose he was surprised to hear it since I was also surprised to learn that it was the maiden name of his mother, my grandmother.
