This week&#8217;s Summer of Service challenge, sponsored by <a href="http://famousfootwear.com">Famous Footwear</a>, is about making this week—starting with today!—unexpected. Here are 11 ways to do that. If you have more ideas, please share them in the comments!</p>
<ol>
<li> Make today loud by screaming with excitement when good things happen.</li>
<li> Make today pop by wearing bold colors.</li>
<li> Make today frisky by&#8230; well, I&#8217;ll leave that up to you <img src='http://momitforward.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</li>
<li> Make today playful by flirting with your spouse.</li>
<li> Make today lyrical by playing and bringing classical music to life in your home and making up and telling fun stories to your children about what the music means.</li>
<li> Make today glamorous by being beautiful on the inside!</li>
<li> Make today fearless by stepping outside your comfort zone to serve someone you may not know well or at all.</li>
<li> Make today heroic by being someone&#8217;s hero in whatever way they need to be saved, served, or made to feel special.</li>
<li> Make today huge by making a triple batch of cookies and surprising your kids with some when they walk in the door from school, sharing some with your neighbors, and giving some to your friends as a thank you just for being in your life.</li>
<li> Make today electric by shocking someone. Call someone you haven&#8217;t talked to in a while. Drop in on someone unexpectedly just to let them know you care about them. Do something for yourself that you don&#8217;t typically do that will make you feel really good.</li>
<li>Make today dangerous by taking a leap of faith. Only you know what that will be, but do it. You know you&#8217;ve been wanting to for a while. Don&#8217;t hold back!</li>
</ol>
<p>These ideas were prompted by this fun video by <a href="http://maketodayunexpected.com">Famous Footwear</a>!</p>
