So here’s some bad news: I just received a huge shipment of the super-awesome MOO cards with all my current contact information on it, and now it looks as though my contact information is going to be changing. So I’m left with 200 really pretty MOO cards with obsolete information on the back.

As for why my contact information is changing, that’s actually the point of this post. See, I was recently offered a job in London, and I’ve decided to take it. Of course, this does mean that I’m going to be relocating across the Atlantic Ocean, but I’m pretty confident that this is the right decision for me at this time.

The new job is not only for a not-for-profit organization I trust and respect considerably, but also presents me the opportunity to pursue my skills in my ideal domain: writing and content creation for the web. Granted, the job I currently have in Toronto is quite good, but I feel as though will be much more productive in a content-related position at this time. I would like to thank my employer here in Toronto at this time for giving me the opportunity to get involved at the ground level of such an amazing venture and for fostering my learning and development. As sad as I am to be leaving such an excellent opportunity on such an exciting project, I’m pretty sure this is a good move for everyone involved.

Of course, relocating to London wasn’t the easiest choice to make: I have planted myself pretty firmly here in Toronto, and uprooting myself now would undo all the hard work I have put in to creating a presence for myself in the city. I will definitely miss the wonderful blogging community here in Toronto, in particular the amazing people at blogTO. Throughout my time here, the Toronto blogging world has given me an outlet for expression as well as countless opportunities, not to mention tons of free stuff. I will truly miss my involvement with the Ismaili community here in Toronto. Whether it be through religious education, the Ismaili Volunteer Corps, or through the various Ismaili Students Associations, the support of the local Ismaili community has been integral to my foundation in the city. I will surely miss my over-ten-year connection with Toronto Parks & Recreation, which has helped me develop necessary skills and foster long-lasting friendships. I could go on, but you all know how much this city — and especially the people in it — has meant to me, so there’s no point in looking back when there’s so much to look forward to.

I’m still here in Toronto for about six more weeks while I tie up my loose ends here and finish some necessary preparations for the move. If you’re in the city and have some time, I’d love to meet up before I go. Drop me an email. And if any of you have lived in London or are familiar with the city in any way, please contact me: I need some help figuring out where to rent a flat and other things like that.

Oh, and finally, if you have any use for a stack of MOO cards with outdated contact information on it, let me know. They make really great bookmarks.
