Here’s a little creative treat: a free worksheet to help you write one of Lucille Ball’s boldest, most inspiring quotes. And if your pen’s not handy, I’ve included a printable version so you can still enjoy the message!
When I discovered this Lucille Ball gem during a Women’s History Month quote search, I immediately knew it belonged in a calligraphy worksheet. It’s one of those lines that sticks with you—not just because it’s clever, but because it dares you to live differently. I let that energy guide every stroke as I created this piece. My hope is that, as you make your way through the worksheet, you’ll feel just a little more inspired to take chances and live fully.
First, click here to download the worksheet for free. Then, print it out on dip pen-friendly paper like 32# laserjet (affiliate link). Get out your favorite pointed pen and nib combination (I used a straight pen + a Brause EF66 nib), and a nice, flourish-friendly ink like iron gall. When you’ve got a free hour or two, sit down and enjoy filling out the worksheet!
With all the lovely flourishes in this quote, it can be tricky to figure out where to start and how to keep things flowing. That’s why the worksheet walks you through a clear writing sequence to show you exactly what to write—and when. You’ll also get three traceable versions of the quote so you can practice before taking on the full piece yourself.
If calligraphy’s not in the cards right now—whether you’re short on time, tools, or energy—I still want you to enjoy this quote. Just print the PDF below, trim along the guidelines, and display it wherever you need a gentle nudge to take chances and live with intention.
Amy Style calligraphy is the star of this worksheet—a modern, upright script that’s both beginner-friendly and visually impactful. It’s no surprise that the Amy is the most popular calligraphy style on the TPK site: it’s simple to learn, fun to use, and looks fantastic every time.
Amy Style calligraphy—with its upright forms and easygoing but elegant look—was the perfect match for such a bold quote. The original artwork is headed to Lisa W. as a thank-you for her thoughtful review of TPK Premium, which truly made my week. Honestly, this quote reflects the same spirit that helped me start the Premium membership program—a project I’d long wanted to pursue, even if it meant doing something different. I’m so grateful to be sharing this space with curious, generous creatives like Lisa—and you.
Enjoy the worksheet and the quote — and thanks, as always, for being here!
Warmly,
