Lynn,

Another name used for your style of visualization is "treasure-mapping". Sometimes, people will get a blank photo album and fill it with pictures of what they desire. They will even replace the heads of people in the pictures with their own when that person's appearance or activity matches their desire.

It is a very effective technique because it creates a mental equivalent, which is eventually what will manifest in the physical.

Congratulations on being so consistent in using such a technique to create your desires!
