Congrats on your new statue!! Does she look like this??
My advice is first to learn as much as you can about Her. For example, Isis is her Greek name but the ancient Egyptians called her Aset (or Auset). Her name translates to “Queen of the Throne”.
She was both the protector of women and the bringer of magic. Isis began as a secondary figure to her husband Osiris, however after thousands of years of worship, she was transformed into the Queen of the Universe and the embodiment of Cosmic order. By the Roman period, she was believed to control the power of fate itself. - Source
You could also place the statue on an altar to Isis with offerings for her:
-
Drinks: Wines, milk, sweet drinks
-
Incense and oils: sandalwood, lotus, red rose, white rose, jasmine, verbena, cinnamon
-
Food: wheat, honey, almonds, peanuts, chocolate, coconut, orange, liqueur, lemon, grains, grapes, sweets
-
Candles: Golden, red and pink
-
Colors: Green, red, lilac, blue, gold and white
-
Crystals / Stones: diamonds, gold, jasper, lapis lazuli, labradorite, moldavite, moonstone, rainbow obsidian, onyx, pearl, white and pink quartz, ruby, sapphire, hot or solar colored stones, carnelian, quartz green and precious stones
-
Flowers: white, red and white roses, sunflowers, daisy, lily, carnation, lotus and cedar
Like you mentioned, you could bless your statue by chanting a prayer to Isis, or learning some of her epithets.
There are lots of ideas and correspondences in this website: Shehkemet - Isis
Hymn to Isis
“I call upon you, Isis, most graceful and high of the High Ones
Hear your lowly servitor and grant your blessings
Most full and gentle
You whose crescent moon and stars
Encompass the world”
If you have a Christian background, there is a case to be made of Isis having a correspondnece to Mother Mary. Most things that correspond to Mary in Christianity also correspond to her, including the Hail Mary. Read more here: Isis and the Virgin Mary

Why not just sit and talk with her? Welcome her into your home. That sort of thing.

Congrats on your new statue, @Christina4! 
Francisco and Kasie have both shared some great advice- I agree that getting to know Isis more through research and time with the statue are great ways to connect with Her!
As a good starting ritual, I also recommend the Isis Devotional for Healing Francisco mentioned above. It is a guided meditation, so you don’t have to think- you can sit in front of your situation and relax as you build your bond with Isis through your new statue.
Good luck and blessed be!

Even prettier than I imagined! She’s in full color and spreading Her wings!
Perhaps make her a pedestal so that she’s rising above all the stones and other objects

She does rise above all other things on the altar.

@Jeannie1 A beautiful Isis statue. I had one that I made on my own but the wing broke off…i took this as a sign that she was perhaps not happy with it.I have been gifted a new Isis statue.
I wrap the red linen around her each morning as the Egyptians dressed the statues in the temple each morning. I also cover her up at night.

Celestial Moon,
You have a gorgeous statue that is so powerful even if it was broken, it doesn’t matter because sometimes broken is good because then we learn our strengths and not allow weakness to evade our strengths!
In Japan I think they honor, brokenness and away like if you think of a vessel, that is broken it’s not garbage it will end up being used for Art 
in the dirt etc ceramics despite the brokenness! I forget what they call it! Anyone Claireaudience here!?

Kintsugi, maybe? It’s the Japanese art of repairing things that are broken with gold. I believe part of the philosophy is that the things that make something unique are worth celebrating rather than hiding

I used glue then covered the crack with gold leaf. She is now above my bed so I have Isis on my altar and in my bedroom. I didnt think it honourable to throw it away.

Cosmic Curiosity,
I definitely feel that she is trying to get your attention and help you heal your wounds that need attention. Just because we have brokenness doesn’t mean we’re garbage. Maybe a piece of her is broken because you didn’t see your beauty with some part.
We are so complex and maybe she’s trying to get you to do the work nevertheless, I know recently you did some shawdow work. That being said she is giving you a hint to point towards your higher self and rebirth.
I believe that was a wonderful offering to honor her. She is so pleased with all your efforts!
Thank you for sharing your experience and story and wisdom!
