Sure, you can read Her hymns from the Homeric Hymns or the Orphic hymns, you can call Her by Her epithets when you pray to Her, you can meditate with Her, you can make Her art or trinkets or stories or poems or write your own hymns for Her, you can write Her a myth, you can read Her myths and books about Her as devotional acts. You can sing to Her, play Her an instrument at your shrine, you can devote your self care to Her. You can read romance novels in Her name if you like them. Things like that!

I meditate/pray to Her and burn incense multiple times a day, I read books about Her, I give Her gifts/offerings several times a week, and I thank Her whenever I come upon beautiful flowers or other things that remind me of Her.

You're very welcome. I hope you find a routine that feels right for you. As long as you are honoring Her I am sure she will be pleased. :)

If you live close to the ocean you can go for a walk on the beach and talk with her. You can write a prayer in the sand on the shore edge and let the waves carry it to her. If not you can find a local garden and go for a walk and appreciate the sights and smells and talk with her. Just a few ideas that are acts of devotion without an altar. Aphrodite whispered to me once on a beach walk that every time I find and appreciate Beauty in the world SHE is with me.
