West Coast Esther is now back on the West Coast for the foreseeable future, becoming more involved in her California life and staying on top of her work for clients such as ROI and Beliefnet, and branching out to become involved in some initiatives on the local level. Hopefully, I’ll have more to share about that stuff later. But for now, here’s some recent writing you may have missed over at Beliefnet:

George Clooney Opens a Whinery for Christmas

New Year’s Resolutions for Celebrities

Calendar Boys: Mormon Hunks and Nice Jewish Guys Strut Their Stuff

Virgin Mary, Playboy-Style

Lights and Songs in the Key of Hanukkah
