And of course the beauty.” “Seriously though, happy birthday to the best person I've ever known,” Paisley concluded. “I love you.” Williams-Paisley, who turned 53 on Saturday, marked her own birthday on Instagram with a photo montage of herself enjoying a cupcake. “I am so grateful for another year around the sun, feeling all that it means to be ALIVE,” she wrote alongside the photos. “Sending love, and thank you for the kind birthday wishes!” The Paisleys have a lot to celebrate this year.

I’m deadlifting over a hundred pounds. I’m taking better care of my body. I’m managing stress. I’m dissolving shame. I’m feeling more whole, empowered & joyful.” Happy birthday, Kimberly!
