I swore I'd never post a question here without a picture, but here goes:

I was at Rockledge Gardens today and on my way out (driving, so therefore not taking pics with my cell phone), they have a whole bunch of shrubs that have small green foliage. I can't say for sure, but it seems it's either always yellow, or yellow quite often.
The leaves are about 1/2" long and basically lanceolate-shaped. (I had to google "leaf shapes," so I'm totally guessing here.)
I'll stop trying to explain in case it's already obvious to someone what it is. If it's not, I can try to find pics to assist.
TIA,
~Bridget

Maybe one of the gold cultivars of Euonymus fortunei? It is pretty common in California.

Here is a link that might be useful: Euonymus fortunei, gold cultivars

No, but that one is pretty, too!
This one has no variegation in the leaf color. And the leaves are skinny.
It kinda looks like Illicium parviflorum (Florida Sunshine Anise), but not quite the same.
Here is an unidentified picture of something similar from a Google search:

Yep yep yep yep!!!!
Thank you, Nel!
Ironically, once I had the name I googled it and this picture (which on another site says 'unidentified') shows up with the rest of the Gold Durantas!
